An informative short trip into the history of Cologne.

It was a lovely time at our own pace. The brief but content-rich information about the individual locations was very interesting, and solving the puzzles was fun. We highly recommend the scavenger hunt.

Great way to see a city, easy to use

Really good way to see cologne and be taken to the main sites and learn a little about them all. Only downside was that on some of the clues it wasn’t clear what the question was so you had to click the hint button to get the q. But others it was clear from the image and front screen.

Nice way to learn more...

Nice way to learn more about Köln, especially with children. Puzzles were very/too easy, could be more challenging for more fun. Unless you are travelling with really young children (4-8?), perfect for that age.

Fun and interactive tour, but needs slight updates.

Fun way to explore the city, maybe having an option to increase the difficulty of the clues would be good and an option to increase the number of locations. Overall fun and accessible, though there were a few glitches were it made us skip a clue.
