A really fun way for the kids to get invested in exploring a new city! We can hardly wait to do another one.
Good app and your to see major sites in Heidelberg with all in the old town and prior to visiting the Heidelberg castle.
We loved this!! Kept us entertained for hours and we got to explore a city in a fun/entertaining way. Would highly recommend
The tour and the riddles were very good! Heidelberg is such an graphical city to explore... The riverside houses, full of castles and the classic Germanic architecture.. We also bought the escape tickets, it was actually different and harder. We really like these outdoor tours!
I recently did the Scavenger Hunt tour through the World City Trail app, and I was blown away! It was like a real-life adventure game, leading me on a treasure hunt through the city's most iconic spots. I loved solving the riddles, discovering hidden gems, and learning fascinating facts about Heidelberg's history. It was the perfect way to explore the city and have a ton of fun at the same time!
Nicely done tour of the 10 most interesting sights in Heidelberg's city center. Loosened up with small puzzles and short, informative facts about the history of each location. It is easy to manage and was a lot of fun for us.
I booked the scavenger hunt for my friend's bachelorette party to bridge the time between two scheduled activities. I thought it was very good that you can download the app a day in advance and are completely flexible with your time. We took a break halfway through and finished the scavenger hunt after dinner. I had been to Heidelberg 3 times before, but I hadn't seen some places at all and now I also have background knowledge on every sight. We thought it was great and will do it again in other cities. 😊
Very well designed and fun to solve the puzzles, and the info is really great; you get a very nice overview of the city of Heidelberg. We will definitely book with you again in the next city. Keep it up! 👍👏
Nice family. We walked a lot and the children didn't even complain. It is possible to make the route in several steps. This allowed us to interrupt the route for dinner, and resume it the next day. Too bad that the app needs to enter all the answers in UPPERCASES only, and that this is not specified at the beginning. That made the first question a little difficult. We also suggest that the last stage should end with a form of "reward" for children. This is not the case at present.
Cumbersome furnishings, faint puzzles that have nothing to do with the sights and dry trivia entries that have nothing to do with the tour. You also look for a red thread in vain. In addition, contrary to what has been described, it is not a round trip with the same start and end point, but ends 25 minutes away from the start. Unfortunately not recommended.
We had so much fun solving the puzzles! At the same time many sights seen and experienced to the history. Great!!!
Da die App nicht funktioniert hat, war unser Erlebnis gleich Null. Wir waren sehr enttäuscht. Auch der Chat konnte uns nicht helfen, daher habe ich um Rückerstattung des gezahlten Preises gebeten. Dies tue ich hiermit erneut!
Rätsel sind gut gemacht und lösbar. Für Kinder und Jugendliche motivierend und auch die Infotexte sind verständlich und tragen zur Wissenserweiterung bei.
Die Rätsel waren gut und nicht zu schwer so dass man die Motivation verlieren könnte. Vorallem Die ztl. Flexibilität hat uns sehr gefallen. Wir hatten Spaß und würden es auf jeden Fall empfehlen. Vielen Dank für dieses Erlebnis.
Ich fand es sehr schön, dass wir uns die Zeit selbst einteilen konnten. Die Rätsel waren spannend, lösbar und sehr originell. Es ist defintiv eine neue und interessante Art, die Stadt zu erkunden. Wir möchten dies auf jeden Fall auch in anderen Städten gerne wiederholen! Vielen Dank für dieses tolle Erlebnis!
