What people are saying about Rhone-Alpes

World City Trail helped us explore the city of Annecy in around 1,5 hours, with a dog, without needing to go in any shops or attractions. The app gives you information about the places your visiting, as well as some small puzzles that you get to solve.

It was a lot of fun, you could explore the city nicely and saw (almost) all the important sights. Some of the lyrics were a bit confusing, but that didn't bother the whole thing!

This was fun and we were able to go at our own pace and enjoy the town. We saw lots of Lyon we would potentially have missed

think carefully and you would find doing with 3 children of 13 years old 7years1/2 and 9years1/2

Great tour around the city, nice and simple riddles!
