Description

Little streams run through the streets, a red Münster towers overhead and the Black Forest starts at the city limits — Freiburg is Germany at its sunniest. This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Freiburg im Breisgau on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time. • Marvel at the Münster, whose spire survived when little else did • Study the facade of the Neues Rathaus on its flower-filled square • Wander Konviktstraße, the old town's most romantic lane Around 2 hours, any group size, available in German and English. Mind the Bächle — stepping in brings marriage, they say.

Interesting information and questions. To get started good selection of sights. Navigation was a bit difficult on my phone, relatively small screen.

Very nice tour and very informative. You can also combine the tour with various stops. However, you should plan more time.

Recommend!

Despite having lived in the freiburg area for 25 years this is the first walking tour we have done! We have learnt a lot more about the city. The app took into areas we have not been before but will visit again.

Freiburg was a ton of fun

Besides experiencing for ourselves what the city had to offer on our own, we first found our way around great places to see. It's great for a quick walk around the city if you still haven't had the chance to get to know it a little bit.

Thank you so much for such a fantastic review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon!

Freiburg is well worth seeing

You need more than 1 day for Freiburg. We really liked the city and we took a tour of the city using the Explorial app (approx. 10€/person, min. 2 people). It took us 3 hours and was exhausting, but my 2 girls persevered bravely.

Thank you so much for such a fantastic review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon!

We had a lot of fun on the city rally. We were very impressed by the historical information from the city stations

Great disappointment

We already stopped after the third place to visit. The game was so boring 🙄 If you want to visit a town, on its cultural side, and avoid daily routine and stress, DO NOT book this stressful activity!

Super pastime

Was a cool city-Ralley - you couldn't get lost as a map always showed the next place. The questions are funny and varied.:)
