Extremely nice and affordable activity for a family, kids got motivated and lead us the way from the beginning even if the puzzles are mainly for adults. Very good job.
Thank you so much! 😊 Kids getting motivated and leading the way through Bern from the start, that's exactly the family experience we want to create! We're glad it was such good value too. We hope to welcome you all on another adventure in a different city soon! 🗺️
Very nice activity for a family of 4 we really enjoyed the puzzles and the information received , also the insider recommendations were very helpful!
Thank you so much! 😊 We're thrilled the whole family of 4 enjoyed the puzzles, the information and found the insider recommendations helpful in Bern — that's exactly the experience we want to create! We hope to welcome you all on another adventure in a different city soon! 🗺️
A tour of the city punctuated with riddles and some lines of history about the monuments. Suggestions for shops or specialties at each stop. You can resume the itinerary whenever you want: very convenient.
Merci beaucoup! 😊 Une visite ludique en totale autonomie, avec énigmes, histoire et suggestions à chaque étape, que l'on peut reprendre quand on veut — c'est exactement l'expérience que nous voulons offrir à Berne! Nous espérons vous retrouver bientôt dans une autre ville! 🗺️
A great way to explore the city on your own and at your own pace. More information about the individual places would have been gratifying. We also find 5€ per person rather reasonable than the fixed 10€ per person. Besides, most of the puzzles were too simple, you could have thought a little longer. Still a good thing.
😊 Vielen Dank für eure ehrliche und ausführliche Bewertung! Es freut uns, dass euch die flexible Erkundung von Bern in eurem eigenen Tempo gefallen hat. Eure Hinweise zu mehr Informationen an den einzelnen Orten, anspruchsvolleren Rätseln und dem Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis nehmen wir gerne mit. Schön, dass ihr die Tour trotzdem als gute Sache empfunden habt! Wir hoffen, euch bald in einer anderen Stadt wiederzusehen! 🗺️
Idea is great. However, execution is not. It is full of mistakes, even a “solution” is wrong. Many questions do not concern the actual landmarks.

Bern is such a picturesque city, and this scavenger hunt helped us see both the big landmarks and the quieter, less touristy spots. We loved that it was self-guided and we stopped for lunch and took our time. The historical facts were a nice touch, and the puzzles kept us thinking. A really enjoyable way to explore the city without needing a tour guide!
😊 Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re delighted that you enjoyed the blend of history and adventure, from Bern’s famous landmarks to its quieter corners. It’s great to hear that the self-guided format let you take your time, enjoy lunch, and still have fun with the historical facts and puzzles. We hope to welcome you in another city soon! 🗺️
We had an amazing time exploring Bern with this scavenger hunt! The route took us through the charming old town, past the Zytglogge clock tower, Bear Park, and some beautiful hidden corners. The clues were smart and engaging , just challenging enough to keep things interesting. We learned a lot and had plenty of laughs along the way. Highly recommended if you want to explore Bern with a fun twist!
