We very much enjoyed our self guided escape audio tour. It’s such an entertaining way to walk through town and learning about the city. What we also enjoyed was that the tour took us outside popular tourist attractions and through other interesting more locally visited places. We will definitely do another self guided tour in another city again.

Die Schnitzeljagd führt zu einigen Sehenswürdigkeiten im Zentrum vom Kopenhagen. Die Beschreibungen sind interessant, ersparen den Reiseführer und beinhalten Hinweise, was in unmittelbarer Nähe noch zu sehen ist. Dadurch wurde der Stadtrundgang kurzweilig (auch mit Teenager). Unbedingt mehr Zeit einplanen zum rumtrödeln und entdecken; insbesondere die Hinweise für die Aussichtspunkte auf Türmen haben sich gelohnt. Die Rätsel sind zum Teil wirklich rätselhaft, sorgen dadurch aber auch für gute Stimmung.

Die Strecke der Tour war gut zu finden und schön ausgesucht. Leider sind wir einen Teil der Strecke schon auf dem Weg zum Ausgangspunkt gelaufen. Bei manchen Texten und Rätseln gab es kleine Fehler durch die Übersetzung bzw. die nicht vollständige Übersetzung. Alles im allem aber eine schöne Tour für einen angemessenen Preis. Wegen der hohen Temperaturen an diesem Tag streikte mein Mobiltelefon zweimal, aber es ist uns trotzdem gelungen bis zum vorletzten Punkt zu kommen. Dann streikte das Kind.
