Strasbourg Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt
Description
Canals, covered bridges and a cathedral that was once the tallest building on Earth — Strasbourg plays in two languages and wins in both. This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Strasbourg on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time. • Wander the Quartier de la Petite France and its tanners' houses • Crane your neck on Place de la Cathédrale before the pink giant • Step into the Église Saint-Thomas, the 'Protestant cathedral' Around 2 hours, any group size, available in French, English, and Italian. Grande île, grand game.

We had a ton of fun with this game / city tour. Would recommend it.
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon in other cities.
Very nice way to explore the city. The app is very user-friendly and it guides you through the city. You pass sights with facts and questions about them in the app.
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon in other cities.
This is perfect for families, our 11yr old took control of the phone/app and directed us everywhere and read out all the info and tasks. Especially helpful that you can stop and restart, which we did a day later. Will be doing these across Europe for our whole trip!

In the beautiful "prison" Hotel Liberty we were made aware of the super fast connection with the tram line 9 between Kehl and Strasbourg. We took advantage of this opportunity immediately, arrived on the platform, bought 2 tickets and paid by credit card. Regrettably, had not read that these tickets had to be validated at the stop, which meant that instead of the already paid EUR 4.20 we had to pay an additional EUR 60.00 fine on the train, Every attempt to explain the fact that we had bought 2 tickets, however friendly, was of no use at all and messed up the actually interesting visit to Strasbourg. It may well be that these tickets have to be validated beforehand, but as a tourist who has bought tickets I really do not understand that you rip off visitors in such an unfriendly way. I would have preferred to spend enough money in Strasbourg, but I had no interest in that after the experience. Too bad and sad in equal measure to have had such a negative experience.
Hallo, vielen Dank, dass Sie sich die Zeit genommen haben, Ihre Erfahrung zu teilen – das tut uns wirklich leid zu lesen. Das Erlebnis mit der Tram-Entwertung und der Strafzahlung ist ausgesprochen ärgerlich, und wir können gut nachvollziehen, dass das Ihre Stimmung für den restlichen Besuch getrübt hat. Da es sich dabei allerdings um die örtlichen Tarifregeln der Straßburger Straßenbahn (CTS) handelt und nicht um unsere Tour, können wir hier leider nichts direkt für Sie regeln – wir empfehlen, sich bei ähnlichen Fällen künftig direkt an den CTS-Kundenservice zu wenden, da Kulanzregelungen für Touristen dort gelegentlich möglich sind. Wir würden uns freuen, wenn Sie unserem Straßburg-Erlebnis trotz dieses unglücklichen Starts noch eine Chance geben würden – gerne können wir Ihnen dafür einen Rabattcode für eine zukünftige Tour anbieten. Melden Sie sich dazu einfach bei uns unter info@explorial.com. Wir wünschen Ihnen alles Gute und hoffentlich bald ein rundum positiveres Erlebnis in Straßburg!
Perfectly organized! It was fun. That's how we got to places we wouldn't have seen otherwise. Nice and cozy without time pressure.
Vielen Dank für das tolle Feedback! Hoffentlich bis bald wieder einmal in einer anderen Stadt! Liebe Grüße vom gesamten Explorial-Team 😊
Great activity with kids great idea to visit the city.interesting.. the kids are happy to participate
Merci beaucoup pour ce super feedback ! J'espère vous revoir bientôt dans une autre ville. ville ! Salutations de toute l'équipe Explorial
Fun way to walk around the city and see some things. The competitive single person questions are cute and I can definitely see the team aspects work even better with larger groups, families (old vs young) or two or more couples. Did this with my girlfriend; it was laid back and a good way to spend 2 hours.
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon in other cities.
It was a great experience. We really enjoyed exploring Strasbourg on this way. 😊 We can only recommend it!
Herzlichen Dank für deine gute Bewertung! Wir hoffen, dich bald wieder für ein Abenteuer mit Explorial begrüssen zu dürfen!
The route worked for me, however, I was looking for an audio tour. This did not have audio, so after being guided to a site by following a bubble on the app, you read a brief synopsis and then have a few questions. Since they require you to buy a minimum of 2 players, the cost was higher than other options. Related to the cost, I was hoping for audio so I wouldn’t just be reading off the phone. I was less interested in the game and more interested in the sites and history so I paid for 2, but regret not going with a cheaper option.
Good morning, We are very sorry to hear your experience didn't go as expected and that you encountered some issues while playing.

We had a hard time finding available free tours in the city, and this app saved the day! The competition with the scavenger hunt was fun, and we had good laughs at some of the weird trivia.
These are good news :) Thank you so much for such a fantastic review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon in another city!!!
