Très sympa : parcours complet de la vieille ville avec explications historiques concises et claires. Cette formule permet de s’arrêter pour faire des visites (palais…), prendre son temps pour boire un verre… seul petit bémol sur un site erreur de guidage sur une question (musée historique au lieu du palais de justice). Très bonne expérience et belle balade !

Manière ludique de découvrir la ville. Les énigmes sont intéressantes et abordables pour des enfants de 8 ans. Mais même les grands se sont prêtés au jeu. Des anecdotes et des éléments historiques ponctuent la visite. Nous recommandons donc cette activité.

I liked the idea of this and it was good to get us walking around but some of the tasks were very basic. We would have preferred something more creative and challenging. The order of information was also strange – before the actual task there is a bit of info but sometimes it’s not even about the area you’re in.

Wir haben die Tour im Rahmen eines Betriebsausflugs unternommen. Die Tour hat wirklich Spaß gemacht, lediglich eine Aufgabe war für uns leider nicht lösbar. Wir haben das auch bis zum nächsten Tag noch nicht verstanden. Aber es hat trotzdem sehr viel Spaß gemacht und es wurde das erreicht, was wir wollten. Das Team musste miteinander kommunizieren und jeder hatte auch begeistert mitgemacht. Auch die Informationen rundum Frankfurt und die jeweilige Sehenswürdigkeit waren sehr informativ. Ich würde eine solche Tour jederzeit wieder unternehmen.

The scavenger hunt took us to alot of the main sites in Milan which was great. It also had facts about each location. Some of the clues felt too easy so my children lost interest after a while. It’s a good experience but more for being a cheap tour of Milan than a scavenger hunt
