The scavenger hunt is really great. Suitable for elementary school children or up to a maximum of 12 years. The children are busy and get to know the city in a playful way. You can set your own pace and see the sights along the way as you please. Our kids loved it. Will definitely be something again when we are in another city.

Lovingly made, nice round through the Albstadt. The puzzles were not a challenge for our boys (10 and 12) but they were proud to lead us. There was some information about each station. So we had our own individual city tour. We took 1.5 days and stopped everywhere if we liked it.

We had an eventful and super nice scavenger hunt through Dresden's old town. There was something for everyone from 6 to 65 and everyone could actively participate.

Anytime again, we found out everything important, the route was well planned and explained, adapted for children, we will now book it in every city

This is such a great way to see a city with teenagers - thoroughly recommend and looking forward to doing another one.
