It was a nice experience to discover the city of Leiden in this way. Nice route and good puzzles. We had some problems starting up, but we were able to easily connect with the company and it was resolved immediately. We are going to walk the route in Alkmaar in the coming months and we hope that one day they will make a route in Antwerp. That's how you get somewhere:-)
Very nice trip through Leiden with a surprisingly fun puzzle tour. Together with my wife right through Leiden with beautiful sights. Nice questions, nice puzzle
We had a very nice day! With the whole family in two groups discovered the city of Leiden with the fun puzzle tour 'of stolen keys' in the beginning just figure out how it worked with the codes and because of the quick response of the Discovery team via whatsapp we could start without any problems!
It was a beautiful day. And we decided to do a puzzle tour, look for it and I came up with this one. What a pleasant surprise. With my family (two kids 10&8yrs) we made a beautiful walk through Leiden. Got to places you don't just go. And solve a puzzle in some of those beautiful places. It says 90 minutes. But we stopped at a Frisian bakery, bought Leiden biscuit and grabbed a terrace. It was a wonderful afternoon filling program. Next time in another city I will definitely do it again.
This was a really great way to walk around and discover a new city. The puzzles were fun. They got a bit harder as we went but never too hard. I wasn't sure what to expect, but both of us were impressed and had a lot of fun. I would suggest this as an activity to see a new city. A few things to note, I would say it takes over 2 hours. It took us 3 hours, we walked leisurely and stopped in the market to look a bit. The last few puzzles were all close to each other, and even back tracking a bit. It would be better if the path was always moving forward to new places. But, I would 100% recommend!!
I had trouble finding the app at first, but I still managed it. The signposting was surprisingly inaccurate for me. It took me a lot of time to get used to it, which is why I dropped out early. Next time, I'll know better and I'll schedule more time. I'm looking forward to it.
We found the app bad because there was no guidance on how to walk. That was very unfortunate We also cut the trip short and did our own walk
Jammer om te horen dat jullie geen goede ervaring hebben gehad. Wij willen juist dat iedereen die een Discovery Trip loopt, op een leuke manier een stad ondekt. Klopt het dat jullie meer een soort Google maps / navigatie verwachten? Want dat is nooit de bedoeling geweest van de app. Het zoeken naar de volgende locatie is juist onderdeel van de experience. Mochten jullie het opnieuw willen doen, stuur even een berichtje, dan kunnen we kijken hoe we jullie tegemoet kunnen komen.
The tour through Leiden was nice. However, we suspect some translation errors in the puzzles into German, which made it very difficult to solve them (even as experienced puzzlers). The clues were no Help center.
Hi! Thank you for your review and feedback. We will ask our translaters to look into it!
Nice for family with children 8-12 years. You will see a lot of the center of Leiden during the walking tour. To describe it as an escape room is going too far, it's not.
Hi! Thank you for your review. We recently changed the name to Self-guided walking tour with puzzles to better reflect the trip!
The route was nice and indeed took 1 to 2 hours. Some answers/puzzles were either wrong or needed more info (like with the weights or pigeons).
Hi Jeroen, thank you for your review. This reminds us to add explanations after the questions. We did this in other tours, but forgot to do so in this tour. We did this right away. We can assure you that you had all the information you needed to solve the riddles. If you are interested we can send you the explanations through mail, just mail us at info@discoverytrip.nl.
