Fabulous fun
Loads of fun. Spent 8 hours on an overcast day thoroughly entertained. Lots of stops included in the 8 hours!!! Saw loads of Chania that we hadn’t seen before (this is our 3rd trip). Hidden expense of having found more shops!! Loved it
Operator response
Thank you so much! 😊 We love hearing that you spent a full 8 hours exploring Chania and discovered places you hadn’t seen before, especially on your third trip! And we’re delighted we could keep you entertained on an overcast day, even if finding more shops turned out to be an unexpected expense! We hope to join you for adventure number four soon! 🗺️

Great way to explore at your own pace
Really great value for money and a chance to see a lot of the main sites in Chania and learn about their history. We ventured off a few times to explore a bit further which worked perfectly because you can go at your own pace and take your own route. Loved the puzzles! We're pleased to stay we scored 100%, but that doesn't mean they were easy! Would definitely recommend!
Operator response

Exploring Chania's main sites, learning their history and venturing off at your own pace whenever you liked is exactly the freedom we want to offer. We hope to welcome you on another adventure in a different city soon! 🗺️

Good fun exploration!
Good fun & easy access to the historic landmarks. The app was easy to follow and download - just make sure you have a charging pack with you if you phone battery power goes quickly. It was good fun, interactive and informative. Saw some lovely views, walking the streets and good people.
Operator response

A complete waste
The places on the hunt were mostly closed. One was permanently shut. Just get a city map of the old city on your own. While inexpensive, this was a waste.
Operator response
Thank you for your feedback and we're sorry the experience didn't meet your expectations in Chania. We'd like to clarify that all our puzzles are based on the exterior of each location — no entry is required at any point, so closures don't affect the activity. We're sorry this wasn't clear enough and we'll make sure to highlight this more prominently in our instructions. Contact us at worldcitytrail.com/chat and we'd love to help! 🗺️

A really fun and informative way to get to know the beautiful city of Chania!
We didn't find the puzzles too hard or too easy and often had to laugh at the result. The stories about the city were also very well dosed, you could have skipped them and read them again later. Overall we needed about 2.5 hours, but also took our time. Would definitely do it again!
Operator response
😊 Vielen Dank für eure großartige Bewertung! Es freut uns sehr, dass ihr Chania mit Rätseln genau im richtigen Schwierigkeitsgrad und mit viel Spaß entdecken konntet. Schön, dass euch auch die gut dosierten Geschichten gefallen haben und ihr die Flexibilität zum Überspringen und späteren Nachlesen geschätzt habt. Und 2,5 Stunden mit ausreichend Zeit zum Genießen klingt nach einer perfekten Tour! Wir hoffen, euch bald in einer anderen Stadt wiederzusehen! 🗺️
