Nice.

Quite nice, too bad we had already been to the old town

Operator response

Bedankt Rita! 😊 We zijn blij dat het leuk was! Tip voor de volgende keer — begin de tour voordat u de oude stad verkent voor een nog completere ervaring! We hopen u binnenkort te verwelkomen in een andere stad! 🗺️

Great way to explore Carcassonne

A really good way to explore both the new city and the cittadel. The puzzles were very clever and of the right difficulty. Very interesting info too!

Operator response

Thank you so much! 😊 We're thrilled the puzzles hit just the right difficulty level and that the information kept you engaged exploring both the new city and the citadel in Carcassonne. That's exactly the experience we want to create! We hope to welcome you in another city soon! 🗺️

Passable

It’s okay to know a little about the city and surroundings of the wall, but you don’t have to look for any treasure, you just have to solve very easy puzzles.

Deception

We thought the experience was in the Cite, that is, inside the walled city and it is all over Carcassonne. Once we arrived at the Cite, we installed the app and the first challenge was more than 30 minutes walk outside the Cite, we closed the app and visited the Cite on our own. We were with little kids.

Operator response

Gracias por su comentario. Entendemos que la experiencia no fue lo que esperaban, especialmente viajando con niños pequeños. En nuestra descripción del producto indicamos claramente que la ruta comienza en el centro de Carcassonne y pasa por la Cité a lo largo del recorrido. Lamentamos que esto no haya quedado suficientemente claro antes de su visita. Una buena noticia — ¡la ruta también se puede hacer al revés, comenzando directamente en la Cité! Si nos hubieran contactado en worldcitytrail.com/chat lo hubiéramos explicado de inmediato. Esperamos que nos den otra oportunidad en otra ciudad. 🗺️

Not to do, not at all wanted puzzlesreally simplistic, no need to take a place per person, scam

!!! Do not do!!! Almost a scam, take only one space enough with a phone. So one role really is not necessary.

Operator response

Merci pour votre retour. Nous comprenons que la question du prix par personne puisse sembler surprenante. Chaque ticket offre une expérience individuelle complète sur son propre appareil, avec un parcours personnalisé et un audio dédié — c'est pourquoi les billets sont vendus par personne. Nous prenons également note de vos commentaires sur les énigmes et travaillons continuellement à améliorer notre contenu pour offrir une expérience plus engageante. Nous espérons avoir l'occasion de vous montrer ce que World City Trail peut vraiment offrir dans une autre ville. 🗺️

Many steps in...

Many steps outside the fortifications to start and finish run along the route and few even inside
