Nice easy stroll around the city
A fun couple of hours exploring the main area of the city. Some fun fairly easy clues to solve, and you can stop and start to look at stuff and have a drink etc.

Very easy and a fun way to check out things in Valletta. No more than 2 KM walking.

Good introduction to discovering Valletta
We enjoyed it with interesting places and info. It was fun for us as a family. For our taste, there could have been a few more places and puzzles. The price-performance ratio is rather high.

Great fun!
Great fun and a different way to learn about a city. We used it in Valletta, Malta as an alternative to a self guided walk.

Discovering Valletta
Great idea! Dynamic, educational, and fun experience. We missed it during our visit to Three Cities.

Good idea for families, rather mediocrely implemented
Good in terms of the idea, but the texts are rather mediocre and not particularly child-friendly. Very similar texts at every sight.
Operator response
Vielen Dank für Ihr ehrliches Feedback! 😊 Es freut uns, dass Ihnen die Grundidee gefallen hat. Wir nehmen Ihre Anmerkungen zu den Texten ernst — sowohl die Kindertauglichkeit als auch die Abwechslung zwischen den Stationen sind Punkte, an denen wir gezielt arbeiten. Wir hoffen, Sie und Ihre Familie bald in einer anderen Stadt mit einer verbesserten Erfahrung begrüßen zu dürfen! 🗺️

Visit to Valletta!
Very engaging, interactive, much more informative than the signage. Tasks for the scavenger hunt were challenging but not too difficult. Great value and fun for the price.

Great way to explore a city
A great way to navigate a city and see the sights. App was fairly easy to use, but 1 ticket did not work due to dodgy Internet. Sharing a phone worked well. Clues were fairly easy, with help from tips (1 or 2 were a bit random). It kept all engaged.
Operator response
