Positive: A great idea to get to know the city in an entertaining way, especially for the little ones. We all liked it a lot. The negative: only one person in the group was on the Internet and the others could not even enter the application, however I think it was not necessary because one person downloading it is enough and in the end it would have been cheaper. Maybe they should set a price for the app and always charge the same regardless of the number of people. I also think they should include the river in some way. Maybe visiting the spa.
Hola, Muchas gracias por tu fantástica reseña. Esperamos volver a veros pronto jugando al Explorial en otras ciudades.
Download app beforehand and make sure it works. It didn't work for us, we couldn't start the scavenger hunt, we didn't get any help online. So we paid the money we had paid for nothing.

It worked well with me and my husband.We did it on our pace,just make sure your cellphone is fully charged.This works if places you want to see are within close proximity and you’re able to walk the distance in between places like Luzern.
Thank you so much for your review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon in other cities. 😊
If you don’t want to follow a large group around with a flag, I recommend this self guided tour/scavenger hunt. The quiz is kind of fun, but I did skip past some of it.
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon in other cities.
We had no idea of where to go or what to do in Bern. This tour was perfect. Showed us places we would’ve never seen, we read about them and was able to go at our own pace. We stopped off and shopped in between/enroute to the location on the tour. The questions were fun too! Highly recommend.
Good morning, Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon in other cities.
Beautiful city, very well connected, to take into account all the architecture but if you go with children you can not fail to see the bears that are in the moat of the bridge. We will certainly remember your visit.
Many thanks for such a fantastic review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon!
Finding all the landmarks, learning interesting information about each, and answering questions for points was definitely fun for our 10 year old grandson.
Many thanks for such a fantastic review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon!
Great thing. It was really fun for us (4 adults) and we explored the city and its surroundings. The trail was well solvable without city knowledge.
Thanks for the fantastic review! We are really happy that you enjoyed it!
Super experience with a great price. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to see Berne in a different way.
Many thanks Joaquim! We hope to see you again enjoying another Explorial Trail soon! Thanks for the fantastic review! This is really what drives us moving forward!
