Started well, until we couldn't find a placard, on my iPhone I couldn't reach the help to solve it, so we stuck, we were only at the 3rd assignment! Then asked for help, no response!! So forced to stop, so very sorry!!

It was a nice exploration walk, the first few questions were quite easy. Then a question came up that we really had to look for. Once you have that solution, you can also answer the following questions quite easily. So something more difficult would sometimes be welcome or perhaps more variety in the solution. It is nice that you can also ask for a tip for difficult(er) questions. All in all, a nice walk along special places and definitely recommended. We were picked up by tuk tuks at the end of the treasure hunt and then had dinner at a beach pavilion. Was a lot of fun. The starting point of the treasure hunt was also centrally located and easily accessible by public transport. The directions on how to walk were good.

Not recommended. It was not easy to use and definitely not worth the effort. Probably an audio version would ha e been better

We enjoyed this little story-based self-guided tour. It was an interesting way to experience the history without being stuffy. It does only take you around the central part of the city, but it fit into our timetable nicely.

It was a great outing, great discoveries in the city but a little too fast... and it's a shame that it's only in English... We might have preferred a little more length... but the story and the puzzles themselves were really well done!
We're thrilled you enjoyed the outing, though I do apologize if it felt a bit rushed. Your feedback is truly valuable. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Looking forward to more adventures with you!
The story was lame and badly translated into German, the puzzles weren't really challenging. We expected more...
