What people are saying about Alsace

What a great way to see the city. Got to see the highlights while also finding side streets and interesting shops. Really feel like we got a good taste of the city. Sat by the carousel, listened to a school band, ate pastries. Would definitely recommend. They may have upgraded based on previous comments. We had no trouble with questions and didn't need any hints.

City exploration with a difference. It was a lot of fun solving the puzzles and we discovered things that we probably wouldn't have seen. You can play the game at your own pace and get to know the city individually. We would do it again.

It is such a great activity to enjoy with your kids ! To smell the hot chocolate and to see the steps to build your own choco :)

Super fun and showed us all around the city in an interactive way. Learned a ton too!

Very good way to visit and take the time to observe.
