La caccia al tesoro dura circa 2-2,5 ore. Ma sarebbe più bello prendersi più ore a disposizione per approfittare di vedere certi monumenti o entrare in un negozio o in un bar. I vari indizi ti permettono di girare a piedi tutta la città e imparare cose nuove. Noi abbiamo iniziato a capire la logica degli enigmi dal terzo e da là non ci ha fermato più nessuno. Un palazzo era in ristrutturazione ma abbiamo cercato l’immagine della facciata su internet e abbiamo risolto ugualmente l’enigma. Bella esperienza, da rifare con più calma

What a fun day in Verona! we didn’t have much time, but wanted to see the most important places in the city. So, we decided to do a cityhunt with worldcitytrail and it was really great!!! Nice walk through the city with interesting information without a rush. We just walked with our pace and the riddles were not too difficult, some nicely challenging!! but, giving a picture with the solutions would be nice, so you don’t only get the code…. or maybe we didn’t find the feature!? highly recommended!
