My husband and I like to take city tours when we visit a new place, but sometimes it gets a little boring following a group of people around for 3 hours. So today we tried this scavenger hunt. We made our way all around town, solved puzzles, and learned about the city. It was just the two of us so we could stop for a snack or check out a museum when we wanted. What a fun day!
It was an ok treasure hunt but some of the clues were very difficult to work out and for our first answer it was marked as wrong eventhough we input the right answer. It was ok to show us some of the sights but not sure I would bother with one
😊 Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re sorry that some clues felt too difficult and especially that a correct answer was marked wrong, that’s certainly frustrating. We’ll pass your comments about the puzzle difficulty and answer validation to our team so we can improve the experience. 🗺️
Nice way to discover the city and the history of Quebec
Merci beaucoup! 😊 Une façon sympathique de découvrir Québec et son histoire, c'est exactement ce que nous voulons offrir! Nous espérons vous retrouver bientôt dans une autre ville! 🗺️
Very nice way to get to know the city, especially with children. The app worked great. It was nice to get a piece of information at every sight (also audio possible) and meanwhile it felt like a treasure hunt for the kids. The puzzles were just challenging enough and very varied. Definitely recommended!
Bedankt voor deze geweldige review! 😊 Info bij elke bezienswaardigheid (ook als audio) terwijl het voor de kids als een echte speurtocht voelde, met precies uitdagende en afwisselende puzzels — dat is precies wat we willen bieden in Quebec! We hopen u en de kinderen binnenkort te verwelkomen in een andere stad! 🗺️
My boyfriend and I missed a guided tour that we had booked for our day trip to Quebec City on our trip here. We were feeling down that we were going to miss out on seeing all the amazing sights. A quick Google search landed up on the World City Trails app, and a scavenger hunt to self guide our way through old Quebec City. The price was great so we thought, why not? Buying this scavenger hunt was a highlight of our trip. It was knowledgeable, fun, and being able to complete it at our own pace made it even better. We completed half before lunch and half after. Not to mention the cute little food attraction recommendations. We are getting ready for our second adventure with them tonight through the streets of Montreal! This is a MUST DO!
Thank you so much Caylee! 😊 Turning a missed guided tour into a highlight of your trip is exactly why we built World City Trail — and hearing you're already heading out through the streets of Montreal tonight makes our day! Knowledgeable, fun, at your own pace, with cute food stops along the way — that's the whole experience in a nutshell. Enjoy Montreal, and with 167 cities available your third adventure is already waiting! 🗺️
I found the clues difficult to understand. I haven’t done many scavenger hunts like this so that could be why. My suggestion is to provide a bit more explanation of the answers like for example…
Thank you for your feedback! We're sorry the clues weren't clear enough in Old Quebec. Your suggestion about explaining the answers more fully is a good one and we'll pass it to our team — we're actively working on making the puzzles easier to follow for first-timers. Our 24/7 chat at worldcitytrail.com/chat is also always there to help with any clue. We hope to welcome you on a smoother adventure soon! 🗺️
As the Quebec city Old Town is pretty small that tour covering most significant attractions at your own pace.
Thank you so much! 😊 Covering the most significant attractions of Quebec's Old Town at your own pace — that's exactly what we want to offer! We hope to welcome you on another adventure in a different city soon! 🗺️
Bit boring. Little interactive. The route is okay but similar is also available for free on the net
Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Es tut uns leid, dass die Erfahrung in Québec nicht spannend genug war und zu wenig interaktiv wirkte. Wir nehmen Ihr Feedback sehr ernst und arbeiten kontinuierlich daran, unsere Inhalte abwechslungsreicher und interaktiver zu gestalten. Unser Ziel ist es, ein Erlebnis zu bieten, das weit über das hinausgeht, was man kostenlos im Netz findet — mit Audio-Narration, lokalen Legenden, interaktiven Rätseln und Geschichten, die die Stadt lebendig werden lassen. Wir hoffen, Sie bald in einer anderen Stadt begrüßen zu dürfen und Ihnen eine bereichernde Erfahrung zu bieten! 🗺️
Québec City is incredibly picturesque, and this scavenger hunt made exploring it even more fun and immersive! The clues took us through cobblestone streets, historic landmarks, and hidden courtyards in Old Québec that felt straight out of Europe. We learned fascinating facts about the city’s French heritage while solving puzzles and enjoying the scenery. The freedom to stop for coffee or photos made it perfect. A fantastic experience , fun, educational, and beautifully designed!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 😊 We’re delighted that the scavenger hunt made exploring Old Québec even more fun and immersive, from the cobblestone streets and historic landmarks to the hidden courtyards. It’s lovely to hear that you enjoyed learning about the city’s French heritage while solving puzzles, with the freedom to stop for coffee or photos along the way. We hope to welcome you on another adventure in a different city soon! 🗺️
This could have been the perfect way for us to see the city. We weren't sure if we each needed or own device (if you like to work as a group, one device is fine. It was nice that it was an option to use multiple devices.) The issue was the app ATE battery. We have two androids less than a year old and a brand new Iphone. All three went from full charge to less than 10% in a couple of hours. We had to go back to the hotel room to recharge our phones. Uninstalled the app, and the phones lasted the expected 24+ hours.
Thank you for your feedback and we're glad you found the activity fun and a great way to explore Quebec! 😊 We take your battery concern very seriously — three devices draining that rapidly is not the experience we want anyone to have and we have passed this information to our development team to investigate. You make a great practical point about one device being sufficient for a group — we'll make sure to highlight this more clearly in our instructions. We recommend keeping screen brightness low and closing background apps before starting to help preserve battery life. Please reach out to us at worldcitytrail.com/chat with your booking number and we'd love to find a solution for the interruption to your experience. Thank you for the constructive feedback — it genuinely helps us improve! 🗺️
