Bit too easy

Try and take your time, don’t rush as it can be over quickly. You only need to download 1 for a couple to use.

Meh.

The map is as confusing to follow, so had a difficult time with that. The riddles were also not great to play.

Fun way to see the city!

It's a nice way to see the city and learn some history and interesting facts. We've done this before and we're somewhat familiar with the type of puzzles and questions. There were a couple of questions that weren't intuitive but overall we scored well and it was fun to figure out the puzzles since they weren't straightforward. A bit of a challenge but not overly difficult. Adults with a love of puzzles, games and good power of observation would find this fun and informative.

The app does not work very well

The idea is nice, but the app is not great! It does not work properly, the questions are not clear! The only positive note is the path

Aug 22, 2025 pamelamZ6631CD L’app non funziona benissimo Tripadvisor review: Rothenburg Scavenger Hunt and Highlights Self Guided Audio Tour L’idea è carina, ma l’app non è eccezionale! Non funziona correttamente, le domande non sono chiare! L’unica nota positiva è il percorso Response published WorldCityTrail,Director of Sales Posted on:Aug 23, 2025 È un peccato, altri giocatori non hanno mai segnalato problemi del genere. Perché non ci avete contattato immediatamente? Abbiamo un supporto 24/7 su worldcitytrail.com/chat e risolviamo ogni problema in pochi secondi.

So much fun! A great experience!

I traveled with my partner who was very skeptical of this tour when I told him about it. But it was SOOO fun! I would just recommend downloading all things needed in advance. We saw a lot of great things, learned history, and had fun at our own pace! I’m excited to do this in other cities as well.
