We had a really great time exploring Brussels using this app, it made it really fun and we could do it all in our own time. One slight criticism is that a couple of the questions to answer were a bit too cryptic! Better clues or clearer asks may improve this.

Leuke tour! Goed aan te lopen. Mooie gebouwen en leuke opdrachten. Gebied bij het parlement zou ik er uit schrappen, daar is niet heel veel aan. Heb voor 4 personen betaald maar dat zou niet hoeven als je maar 1 telefoon gebruikt. Dat is wel vreemd en wordt niet aangegeven bij je aankoop.
