Traveling with 17 college students and wanted a fun way for them to get to know the city. This was perfect. Most groups finished in about 90 minutes and the pictures from their explorations were great. College leaders also enjoyed, but took a more leisurely pace and finished in 3 hours (we had to try the Calvinus beer after learning about it!). Have decided to use program again at our next stop in Lucerne.
Thank you so much for your review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon in other cities. 😊
Awesome self guided, at your own pace, informative and interactive tour! Highly recommended for solo or group!
Good morning, Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon in other cities. Have a nice day :)
Geneva is a fantastic city and well worth a visit. With this game we had the opportunity to discover the most interesting points of the city and learn more about each location. We really liked it
Thank you so much for such a fantastic review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon!
First time to Geneva. An interesting way to experience a few of the landmarks, and kept my teen son entertained for an hour (no easy feat).
Thank you so much for such a fantastic review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon!
This was a great way to see the city and learn many historical facts. The one thing that could be improved is the pricing. I ended up paying for three adults because there was no option for kids. This is an app that you download and enter a code. My kids don’t have iPhones so they couldn’t download the app. I was disappointed to have paid for three adults when we all just played on one device.
Many thanks for such a fantastic review! Please contact us on info@explorial.com, so we can reimburse the two tickets immediately. We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon!
Geneva is a beautiful city and we all enjoyed the tour with a beautiful walk and really clever riddles. The photo tasks are funny and you can share all pictures with friends. Great companion for our trips from now on
Many thanks for such a fantastic review Virginie! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon!
Geneva, renowned for its United Nations headquarters, luxury watches, and the stunning Jet d'Eau, unveils its real charm when explored through the Explorial app's self-guided tour, especially when locals join the adventure. Our journey, enriched by Explorial's insightful play and the local friends' personal anecdotes, was akin to a Swiss watch - precise, beautiful, and full of surprises. The app's guided tour through the Old Town or "Vieille Ville" revealed hidden gems, transforming the quaint cobblestone streets into a labyrinth of treasures. In conclusion, combining the Explorial app with local insights from friends made our Geneva experience a "magnifique" adventure, offering an intimate look into this dynamic city that we will always remember.
Many thanks for such a fantastic review Andre! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon!
Superb guide for exploring Geneva, we really enjoyed the mix of history and sightseeing. Highly recommended.
It was difficult to start the game because the info was not very clear: meeting place, entry into the app, entry code, unreachable contact people. But it was worth persevering because the activity is great: you move, you discover the city in a fun way and you learn a lot.
Dear Veronique, many thanks for your review. We are sorry that our tour didn't totally fulfil your expectations. We will take your feedback into account, and we will try to continuously improve Explorial tours. Thanks again!
I liked that you were led to sights in a short time, a bit of competition is definitely cool and you learn a few facts. I would definitely do it again. unfortunately I could not find the code to register the second person anymore. that should be noted on the confirmation.
Many thanks for such a fantastic review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon!
