Cologne is very nice

Always nice to get to know the city. When we visit a city we always do a qula tour. So that does indicate that we are excited about the concept. Cologne is a beautiful city. The tour is fun but lacks the surprises that are in some other tours. You walk past all the highlights and come to beautiful places. Definitely recommended.

Operator response

Bedankt voor je mooie woorden en je loyaliteit aan onze Qula tours! Geweldig om te horen dat jullie zo enthousiast zijn over het concept. Keulen is inderdaad een prachtige stad en we zijn blij dat jullie genoten hebben van de hoogtepunten. We nemen je feedback over de verrassingen zeker mee om onze tours nog leuker te maken. Hopelijk tot snel bij een volgende avontuur!

Preparation complex wg installations. Game as such well doable, possibly more Cologne reference meaningful but also so you learn

Explore Cologne Game was entertaining, installation problematic. More Cologne reference may make sense. Game to make good ,partly fun

Vielen Dank für die Bewertung. Ich freue mich, dass es Ihnen einigermaßen gefallen hat, auch wenn die Referenzen nicht klar genug waren. Daran wird auf jeden Fall gearbeitet.

At our own pace through the city and collecting a lot of information was fun, individual stations have no connection to the city

Many stations were very interesting and informative, some rather difficult or pointless (as a certain donut of a chain is called has nothing to do with the city for me). Unfortunately we could not finish the tour completely because the mobile phone battery was not enough, even though it had over 90% at the start. Otherwise, I find the idea of roaming the city independently and taking a break at will terrific.

Vielen Dank für die Bewertung. Schön, dass Du die Stationen sehr interessant und informativ fandest, beim nächsten Mal schaffst Du die Tour bestimmt noch.

Not worth the money

The tour provided so little content, no way in hell was it worth 34 euro. At best it was worth 6. The stops were not thought out and literally one of the stops and its related question was at a dunkin donuts? For that kind of sham product placement I want my money back. The texts were so bland, and there were spelling errors. Some "highlights": "the church is highly detailed, which can be rare", "People love to shop. this street is great for shopping", "see what's on the square's 'roof'" (a square doesn't have a roof), "this is cologne's smallest mall". Friggin pathetic.

Nice tour to get to know new corners of Cologne

The idea of a scavenger hunt is great. And the sights and places were well chosen. It was fun to go on new routes and not the well-known ones. We found the login to the homepage to be a bit complicated. And the quizzes and texts could be more beautifully decorated and designed with more love. All in all, a nice day trip.

Pleasant and surprising!

Very pleasant, fun way to explore the city. If the GPS still worked via the app, we could have completed the route a little more smoothly. But it was a surprising discovery from Cologne.

Dank je voor je review. Tips om je GPS op je telefoon aan te zetten staan op onze site.

Original way to walk around the city

Qula city trail Cologne was a fun experience, you choose your own route through the city and look for the points about which questions are asked. Not all the answers were easy to find and one particular photo we will remember for a long time without results.

Operator response

Bedankt voor deze leuke review. Wij hebben ook veel plezier gehad om de speurtocht door Keulen te maken te maken. Vooral het gedeelte langs het water is erg mooi!

Family fun

The tour was fun, we played in two groups. For us, the map did not really work. But we still found all the points.

Fantastic

We are doing a Qula City trail for the second time. First was in Vienna and we really enjoyed that. Now two days Cologne: ideal game to discover the city we take a whole day with a little shopping in between. The fun facts that Qula gives you during the treasure hunt are super fun to learn about the city! We will definitely continue to use Qula City trail for city trips!! 😊

Operator response

Wat fantastisch om te horen, 'good to hear' :)) Thanks!
