A great way to explore the City974trevorw
A great way to explore the City, learning about the history and points of interest at our own pace. We could pause and stop when we felt like a break.
There were some interesting puzzles to solve which added a bit more spice and made us pay attention more. There was a good "what did you learn" quiz at the end.
Very much recomended.
Would Definitely Recommend for a Fun Day Out🍻Shelley_S
It was so much fun. We basically took all day finding our 10 clues and had a good laugh along the way, plus a few arguments😂. We had already been in Maastricht 4 days but still got taken to lots of places we didn’t know existed. A few beers and lunch along the way made it a great day.
Excellent scavenger hunt in MaastrichtAdventure02920948701
Jul 19, 2026, 11:01:32 AM The World City Trail scavenger hunt in Maastricht is excellent. Great puzzles to solve with lots of information on the city
Was fun for the family and not too complicated
good way to learn your way around the city. read the clues carefully and look closely at the hints...
How nice. You see another part of the city that you wouldn't easily come to yourself. Maastricht is fantastic! Nice questions. How simple 😉

Fun treasure huntY832MFsimoneh
Very nice treasure hunt. You cross the city and come to nice places. 10 questions to solve that are not too easy and not too difficult. You can stop anywhere on the way or grab a terrace. Worth it during your city break.
Very nice way to explore a city676annemiekep
Very nice way to see the highlights of the city. The walk is not too long and the assignments are not difficult. Because of this it doesn't take too long (good with teenagers) and you can grab a terrace or lunch whenever you want. The lyrics with explanations were a bit woolly and with a lot of repetition.
All in all highly recommended to explore a city in a short time.
Too general info and little depthJBO1981
The information given is too general. It is safe to go a little deeper into the beautiful monumental history of the buildings. The signs hanging on the facade are more useful.
Discover Maastricht without time pressureLingbeeklinda
Mar 23, 2026, 10:54:58 AM Very nice to discover some highlights this way. Plenty of time to eat or drink in between.
Cool tour, clear and feasible assignments. Everything works fine with the app. Nice to discover places you won't come immediately
Nice trip through Maastricht. This way you learn a lot and are doing well. You can stop anywhere to drink lunch or shop
