Very good experience. We were able to visit all the monuments of the capital and learn more about their history. It is really worth it!
Merci beaucoup Claudine! 😊 Visiter les monuments de Palerme tout en apprenant leur histoire, c'est exactement ce que nous voulons offrir! Nous espérons vous retrouver bientôt dans une autre ville! 🗺️
Worth it, you learn something new and you get good hidden foot spots
Vielen Dank! 😊 Etwas Neues lernen und dazu gute versteckte Foodspots in Palermo entdecken — genau das wollen wir bieten! Wir hoffen, Sie bald in einer anderen Stadt begrüßen zu dürfen! 🗺️
It’s at your own pace. We got confused near the end to find one location otherwise it was pretty clear with the map provided. We liked the information about each site and we enjoyed looking for the items listed on the scavenger hunt.
Thank you so much Rosaria! 😊 We're glad you enjoyed the information at each site and hunting for the clues around Palermo at your own pace! Sorry about the confusion near the end — we'll review that stop to make the directions clearer. We hope to welcome you on another adventure in a different city soon! 🗺️
Great way to get familiar with a new city!
Thank you so much! 😊 Getting familiar with a new city in a fun way — that's exactly what we want to offer in Palermo! We hope to welcome you on another adventure in a different city soon! 🗺️
A nice experience to discover the city. The game allows you to move between different historical monuments. However, several monuments were not fully accessible (work on the façade, partially hidden façade) and the photos found on the Internet did not allow to see the desired inscriptions. It's a shame that the app doesn't offer a precise photo in this case.
Merci pour votre retour! 😊 Nous sommes ravis que l'expérience à Palerme ait été sympa. Nous avons déjà mis à jour la tâche concernant le monument en travaux. Votre suggestion d'ajouter des photos plus précises dans l'app est excellente et nous la transmettons à notre équipe. Nous espérons vous retrouver bientôt dans une autre ville! 🗺️
Great game to discover the cities! 🏙 We did it in Palermo🍕, Amsterdam 🏫 and London 🎡 and it's always fun and informative. The puzzles are fun, neither too difficult nor too easy.🧩 Thank you World City Trail, I recommend! 😁
Merci beaucoup! 😊 Palerme, Amsterdam et Londres — vous êtes une vraie exploratrice World City Trail! C'est exactement ce que nous adorons entendre. Nous sommes ravis que les énigmes soient toujours au bon niveau de difficulté. Avec 167 villes disponibles, la prochaine aventure vous attend! 🗺️
Funny. As I started looking before daylight, there was no going back to resume instructions when the time came. So the start was a bit risky. But then, very easy. It may be interesting to combine this hunt with visits. Rich text with interesting anecdotes.
Merci beaucoup pour votre retour! 😊 Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié les textes riches et les anecdotes! Nous prenons note de votre remarque sur l'accès aux instructions avant le jour J — c'est un point utile que nous transmettrons à notre équipe. Nous espérons vous retrouver bientôt dans une autre ville! 🗺️
So much fun. We did it on our first day to help us get to know the way around the city and it was and amazing way to do that. Unfortunately some of the buildings we covered due to restoration making some of the clues impossible but obviously not thw fault of thw tour provider. Still and amazing activity and a fun way to explore
Thank you so much Katherine! 😊 What a brilliant idea to do it on your first day to get your bearings — we love that! We're sorry some buildings were under restoration affecting a few clues, but we really appreciate you understanding that's outside our control. We hope to see you on another adventure in a different city soon! 🗺️
The tour is great! You pass the main sights in Palermo, learn a lot and the puzzles at the individual posts are fun! Great for a tour with children (from 6). It only takes one ticket - even for a larger group that runs and plays together. You download the World City Trail app and enter your ticket number. The more people, the more mobile phones you need to participate better. All participants can log into the team with the same ticket in the app. Really cool if you want to go around the city at your own pace. Recommended!
Vielen Dank für diese fantastische Bewertung! 😊 Es freut uns sehr, dass die Tour durch Palermo für die ganze Familie so viel Spaß gemacht hat — Sehenswürdigkeiten entdecken, lernen und Rätsel lösen, alles im eigenen Tempo! Danke auch für die tolle Erklärung des Team-Features für andere Leser — perfekt beschrieben! Wir hoffen, Sie und Ihre Familie bald in einer anderen Stadt begrüßen zu dürfen! 🗺️
Great fun and a good way to see and learn about the city. We really liked the quizzes which added a bit of interest and the directions to each location were easy to follow. Thanks very much!
Thank you so much! 😊 We're thrilled you had great fun discovering Palermo — easy navigation, engaging quizzes and learning about the city along the way is exactly what we want to offer. We hope to welcome you on another adventure in a different city soon! 🗺️
