Ging heel gemakkelijk. App op telefoon downloaden en wandelen maar. Tussendoor even bij de camper gaan lunchen en daarna de tour weer opgepakt. We hadden netjes voor 2 personen geboekt, zodat we allebei op onze eigen telefoon de informatie konden lezen. Leuke manier om het gezellige Metz beter te leren kennen.

Très bonne activité à faire pour découvrir les monuments de Tarragona. Je recommande le départ au niveau du parking avec le monuments des castells comme recommandé par l’application. On a apprécié de pouvoir prendre notre temps et faire à notre rythme pour profiter de l’environnement de chaque arrêt. Et on avait calculé pour finir avec la démonstration des castells au pied de la cathédrale. Un vrai plaisir pour la fin de la chasse au trésor. N’hésitez pas à regarder les jours et horaires des démonstrations pour finir en beauté. Seule remarque: une version sonore des informations serait intéressante.

Die Schnitzeljagd hat Spaß gemacht 🙂 Die Punkte waren gut zu finden und durch die Fragen/Aufgaben, hat man sich viele Dinge und Details noch genauer angeschaut. Die Aufgabenstellungen waren nur nicht immer ganz eindeutig was etwas schade war . Aber ansonsten alles gut 🙂

Das „Rätsellösen“ war witzig und hat den Stadtrundgang abwechslungsreich gestaltet. Wir hatten vor Jahren schon mal eine Stadtführung gemacht und haben mit der Schnitzeljagd trotzdem noch einiges andere erfahren. Die Infos (gut zu lesen, nicht zu umfangreich) und die Aufgaben wechseln sich ab. Über die App ist die Tour sehr flexibel handhabbar, nach eigenem Tempo, man kann Pausen machen, wie man möchte und nach Belieben die Schnitzeljagd fortführen.

Ich finde 7 Euro pro Person eigentlich einen stolzen Preis dafür, dass man zusätzlich eine App downloaden landen und die Infos lesen muss. Man kann auch nur für eine Person bezahlen und zu zweit losziehen. Die Informationen sind jedoch interessant und ich habe einiges über Lübeck gelernt. Man muss diese Art der Stadterkundung mögen und neugierig sein.
