Good but expensive

Practical and good city tour thanks to the guide but a little expensive for a suite of text easily found on the internet.

Scavenger hunt that is not a scavenger hunt

We were looking forward to an exciting scavenger hunt, but were quickly disappointed: Instead of a classic scavenger hunt, it was more like a simple walk, where you were guided from place to place via Google Maps. The term “scavenger hunt” is therefore misleading – it lacked the puzzle, search or playful aspect you would expect with such a format. At each of the 10 stations there was a sight to which one had to answer a question. The information about the places was quite nice but very superficial. Most of the questions were extremely simple and quickly solved – only one task required some creative thinking, but the answer was so abstract that you didn’t really come up with it. Overall it was a nice pastime, but definitely not an experience you want to have a second time. This tour is not recommended for puzzle or adventure lovers. If you really want to learn about the city or experience an exciting activity, look for other offers.

Vielen Dank für Ihr ausführliches und ehrliches Feedback. Wir verstehen Ihre Enttäuschung — der Begriff „Schnitzeljagd" weckt bestimmte Erwartungen, die wir in Ihrem Fall nicht erfüllt haben. Unser Konzept kombiniert Stadterkundung mit interaktiven Fragen und historischen Informationen — es ist tatsächlich eher eine geführte Entdeckungstour mit Spielelementen als eine klassische Schnitzeljagd im traditionellen Sinne. Wir nehmen Ihr Feedback über den Schwierigkeitsgrad der Fragen, die Tiefe der Informationen und den spielerischen Aspekt sehr ernst und arbeiten kontinuierlich daran, diese Punkte zu verbessern. Besonders Ihr Hinweis auf die eine abstrakte Aufgabe ist wertvoll — wir werden diese gezielt überprüfen und anpassen. Wir hoffen, dass Sie uns trotzdem eine zweite Chance geben — vielleicht in einer anderen Stadt, wo wir Sie positiv überraschen können! 🗺️

Solo adventure through Freiburg’s charm

This was the perfect way to explore Freiburg on my own! The clues led me through the old town, past the cathedral, and into quiet, beautiful corners. Fun, flexible, and a great way to see the city while learning a bit of history along the way. Highly recommend for solo travelers!

Not recommended -we have discontinued

Super long signup process and then it had no localization integrated; you had to go to the next place via an inactive map, so constantly out of the app and in Google Maps manually search the place. Super annoying, we dropped out. In other app it is better done - would have been desirable if you are guided in the app to the next location by map and then it recognizes the location. -not the case here.

Vielen Dank für Ihr detailliertes Feedback. Es tut uns leid, dass der Anmeldeprozess zu lange gedauert hat und die Navigation nicht Ihren Erwartungen entsprach. Wir verstehen, dass es störend ist, zwischen der App und Google Maps wechseln zu müssen — das ist wertvolles Feedback, das wir an unser Entwicklungsteam weitergeben werden. Wir arbeiten kontinuierlich daran, die App-Erfahrung zu verbessern, und Hinweise wie Ihrer helfen uns dabei enorm. Für sofortige Hilfe während der Aktivität sind wir jederzeit unter worldcitytrail.com/chat erreichbar. Wir hoffen, Sie trotzdem bald in einer anderen Stadt begrüßen zu dürfen! 🗺️

It was interesting to get to know the city in this way. The puzzles should be a bit trickier or different difficulty levels would be an idea... otherwise best thanks for the experience 🙂

Autonomous interactive tour

Nice way to visit Freiburg. Course of 10 stops with puzzles. Suitable for children from 6 years old. A little expensive on the other hand because the minimum price is 12€ for 1 or 2 adults. I recommend it anyway.

The puzzles have been smart. Also feasible for the children. The track has been just as good. Very interesting info about the monuments

Varied city tour for the whole family

It was fun, the kids finally got bored on a city tour. Have discovered the highlights of the city in a short way.
