We had a wonderful time doing this self-guided scavenger hunt around Gdansk! It was a fun and interactive way to discover the city, explore its beautiful streets, and learn more about its history and main attractions. The clues made the experience more exciting and encouraged us to pay attention to details we might otherwise have missed. We really enjoyed being able to explore at our own pace without feeling rushed or having to follow a fixed schedule. A great activity for couples, friends, or families, and a lovely way to see Gdansk from a different perspective. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the city!

I liked the idea of a scavenger hunt a lot. The app is easy to use and navigating to the different points is easy and well integrated with google maps. The puzzles are not too complicated and fun. The texts describing the different sights though ... very redundant. If i hear one more time about the maritime identity, trade, resilience and the civic pride ..... There were some cool anecdotes there as well, but most of the text was just filler. Everything tells a story of.., each one is a symbol of .., all of them endured through war and fire and everything reflects the city in some way or the other. But we did try one of the food recommendations and it was 10/10 !
Great value, self paced. Interesting facts.
This is our third World City Trails tour, and we enjoyed it. Some of the challenges are a bit frustrating - like the one that asks you to count the number of differences between the photo and the actual structure. On the actual building the windows are paired, meaning they appear in sets of two, right next to each other. If one set of windows is missing in the photo, does that count as one difference, or is it two because there are two windows? I suppose it doesn't really matter, because it's just a game, but these are things that could be improved. We love the suggestions on restaurants, and, as opposed to the in-person games, you can stop and restart any time.
I personally didn’t enjoy the interface of this self paced guided. Other ones we’ve done downloaded the whole audio guide instead of each station.
I always enjoy these scavenger hunts. I walked all over Gdansk and still missed some of what this tour showed me
Very good! You can discover the city easily. We liked. Nit so long but not too short. Good hints and good itinerary. Recomended :)
Brilliant trail around Gdansk seeing things we wouldn't have otherwise. Didn't realise a percentage of profits go to animals charities too which is lovely!
It was a fun way to see the city without walking aimlessly. We went down streets that we wouldn’t have seen without this activity.
10 different stops with all kind of riddles. Not so long distance to walk, so it suits everyone. A good way to see and learn more about Gdansk Old town.
Nice, doable tour with children as well as with grandma and grandpa. The puzzles are all solvable and you learn something about the city. Would love to do it again if the opportunity arises.
The application works terribly. It locates poorly, short stories. Few points of interest. There were 3 of us and the same thing happened to all of us. The worst audio guide I have used.
Fun family activity with moderate culture and some tricky questions.
Quite okay, but the puzzles are rather repetitive. Moderately exciting. Texts are informative. Route guidance is very good with Google Maps.
It wasn't difficult, just pay attention! ,you keep walking on the street, short distances between the points. Very nice to do.
I have used many audio guides before. This one was certainly the worst. The operation was confusing, the integrated quiz was just annoying, and overall it lacked information and facts. For about 12 stations, there were only very short contributions, a maximum of 2 minutes long. The audio guide was cheap, but not worth the money.
Nice walk through the old town. Many church buildings. The explanations in the app were extensive but repeated again and again.
Einige Rätsel könnten schwieriger sein, aber für 5€ eine sehr gute Aktivität mit der man verschiedene Orte in Danzig kennenlernen kann.
