Engaging...

An engaging self-guided city tour - one should be fit for walking ;) - where you also learn something about the respective city beyond commonly known information.

Useful and informative, well worth doing

A really good way to learn about an unfamiliar place. Well worth doing! We found things out that people that had lived in Nuremberg for over 12 years didn’t know!

Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon in other cities.

Great idea with the scavenger hunt 🔎🏰

Have used the EXPLORIAL app for the first time here in Nuremberg. We loved the idea of getting a guided tour of a city without having to rely on a group or a guide. It was a nice guide to the great sights in the old town. And you could always look at something else. The app itself offers the tours for 9 euros per person and at least two people must be paid. TripAdvisor also offers deals for just under 11 euros for two people. So you can now decide for yourself whether the price-performance ratio fits or not. We found the scavenger hunt idea very good and have already done it in another city

Very expensive for literally nothing. This could easily cost half the price paid or less. I would not recommend people to do it.

Great first experience!

We decided to take a trip over Germany and booked a few self-guided tours. We had so much fun playing as a group and discovering the city. The games were a ton of fun, it was very accessible and we will definitely play again.
