Loved this Paris tour app! Solving riddles at each stop made us actually notice details we'd normally walk past, and the points system was oddly addictive. We discovered hidden corners of the city and learned real history along the way. Fun, clever, and so much better than a standard walking tour. Highly recommend!

Had a fun time discovering the neighborhood with my 9 year old daughter who enjoyed leading the way and answering the questions. We learned a lot about French history in a fun, interactive way.

The city is lovely to discover, there is a lot to see and it didn't take us too long to be able to walk around and see some nice parts of the city. Absolutely a different experience from your normal tour but the app makes it easy to use. Great fun with friends.

It was a great experience, as someone traveling to Paris for the first time, I felt like I visited all of the most important landmarks, got to see another amazing place, and had so much fun doing so. This tour is a great experience and a really affordable one.

My friends and I had such a great time playing this scavenger hunt tour in Lille, so we decided to give it a go in Paris. We were not disappointed! The clues led us to some off-the-beaten-path locations that we never would have found otherwise.

We tried this app days ago in Barcelona, and we became fans. So we obviously had to try it in Paris, and it was great.
Thanks Wilson! We love to see that the app is being used in different trails! We hope to see you doing more Explorial trails soon.
