Disappointing, but also quite low in price.

A good idea to explore the city. The spoken texts from the AI are annoying and could be more creative. There are repeated content throughout the course. The path was good, but the informational content was rather meager. Not comparable to a city tour. Very unfortunate. Otherwise, a rally that is easy to solve. Overall, rather disappointing.

Perfect way to see the sites!

Really interesting way to see Hamburg main attractions and get the history behind. Only issue was the some of the persons in the group had to log-in every time we got to a new site.

Great to be taken around a new city, informative and fun challenges. Visit the chocolate factory, enjoy the architecture

Great way to visit, informatively, around a new city. Good fun with easy challenges whilst also visiting shops and architecture.

A great way to see the city

We loved doing this hunt. It took us around the city seeing things we wouldn’t have normally seen. Be sure to select walk on the map and not drive! Our first mistake. Have fun and be sure to get some chocolate from the chocolate museum in route!

Hamburg times different

It was super fun. We did the tour as a couple (mother 53/daughter 18) We would not have explored some sights otherwise (ascending to the tower of St. Peter's Church) or would have passed the St. Nicholas Church only from a distance. In the last puzzle, the hint might be a bit more clear that you have to start counting all over again. Otherwise, a nice tour that can be done in 2.5 hours without sightseeing. Switching to route guidance via Googlemaps is also easy and great between stations. Would book in other cities immediately again!!

Chill tour

Interesting tour with lovely riddles. The riddles were advanced but manageable. A good opportunity to walk around in Hamburgs City centre and learn astonishing facts about the city

Relatively simple puzzles, pleasant tour, overall fun experience:)

You get 10 puzzle questions to solve via an app. Between the stations there is always about 10 minutes walk. The puzzles are easy to solve and there are tips if you don't know further. It is easier if each person has their own mobile phone to participate in. Overall made sweet, a pleasant route, we also saw things we would not otherwise have discovered. Overall a funny idea:)
