### 4/5 — Good app.  We had fun

*2026-08-11*

App was able for both of us and kept our teen busy. I few things needed a guess rather than seeking, also the lady on the fountain has disappeared in a Coruna!!

### 1/5 — Lüneburg

*2026-08-11*

Die App ist vielleicht gut man sollte jedoch prüfen wie der Internet Standard in der jeweiligen Kommune ist wir haben für3 Personen Lüneburg gebucht leider in gesamt Lüneburg null Internet Verbindung bekommen mi Vodafone

### 5/5 — Super!Auch kinderfreundlich

*2025-07-20*

Ich habe dies mit meinen Kindern gemacht. Wir konnten die Stadt(Straßburg) super erkunden und hatten viel Spaß. Wir konnten auch jeder Zeit Pause machen wenn wir kaputt waren. Eine großes Lob. Ich würde es empfehlen,für Erwachsene mit und ohne Kinder!☺️

### 5/5 — Well worth it!

*2025-05-16*

After finding out we got cancelled for our guided city tour on the train ride to the city, we scrambled to find another way to explore the city. This was an actually pretty fun. We went at our own pace and stopped to take pictures along the way and see other points of interest. The mapping directions are pretty accurate to find each location. Pay attention to the info pages and look closely at each landmark & the surroundings.

### 5/5 — Paris y Tarragona

*2024-12-29*

Las 2 veces nos ha encantado el recorrido y las actividades. Recomiendo hacerlo con grupos grandes porque es más divertida la competición.

### 4/5 — Great app but very unstable

*2024-10-05*

I have done quite a few of these trails with this app. Originally I had no problems at all. The information that they give on the sights that you visit and the sights that you see are amazing. I have loved this app and done trails in both Spain and Portugal. They have all been amazing. But just recently I have been having major connection issues with them. I bought two tickets for the trail in Segovia recently, however, mine kept losing connection (my phone was connected to 5G the whole time) I apparently lost connection and could not reconnect. My only option was to delete the app and re download in the middle of a game. This meant that the two of us were no longer in the same team so we lost vital points. Again, not really super important but definitely super frustrating. I have just tried to download another game for my trip in two weeks time but again I am getting ‘connection not possible’. Please fix this so that I can go back to my favourite exploring app. Thank you

### 5/5 — Bei uns war alles gut.

*2024-09-22*

Hat gut funktioniert und Spaß gemacht. Nicht einmal abgestürzt.

### 4/5 — Fun and great idea

*2024-09-15*

Why are there only so few in the US? 

I would 100% recommend this if there are places near you to learn about 

It was fun and Informative

### 3/5 — Good tours, just expensive for what it is!

*2024-09-13*

This was a tour app I had high hopes for, and to get into the mindfulness of the locations.
You can’t buy a single person ‘tour’. You have to buy two as a minimum. That makes it very expensive for single travellers. The concept it great. Just halve the price.

### 5/5 — Funktioniert super

*2024-08-26*

Die App hat alles in allem super funktioniert. Wir waren eine Gruppe von 5 Leuten und die Tour war richtig schön, alles fußläufig. Die Handys haben sich direkt verbunden, keine Appabstürze, auf jeden Fall weiterzuempfehlen☺️
