Did not work and when I tried login again it wrote that the code was used, so the money was wasted.

2.00Be careful with login. Do not get started and suddenly the “code used” without it succeeded. But had to buy directly in app Questo again and then it worked. Otherwise super trip. Just wasted money at the Trip Advisor purchase.
An excellent way to spend a couple of hours in Aarhus

4.00We had a problem getting the activity to open on my phone but thankfully when my husband went through the process it worked for him. The walking was easy and the directions were clear (except for one where it seems that the statue has been turned 180° so leaving to the left would have taken us in the wrong direction!) The history was interesting and we felt we had a good route around the town, seeing some lovely buildings and statues. Some of the clues were tricky, but there are hints to help you out, and the answer should you be really stuck. Also, the final answer is an Americanism, not English! That threw us for a bit! But an excellent way to spend a couple of hours in Aarhus.

4.00Engaging way to know about Aarhus. The route has been selected well. Be prepared to walk for around 2 hours if the intention is to cover all the spots in one go.
Exciting and good experience anyway should be carried out without late and ice on the ground

4.00Exciting and good experience as well can be recommended. However a bit challenging to get everyone with via the app With snow and ice on the ground there are additional challenges
