4.00Practical and good city tour thanks to the guide but a little expensive for a suite of text easily found on the internet.

Scavenger hunt that is not a scavenger hunt
Mariena C,,Sep 6, 2025
- Review from Viator
2.00We were looking forward to an exciting scavenger hunt, but were quickly disappointed: Instead of a classic scavenger hunt, it was more like a simple walk, where you were guided from place to place via Google Maps. The term “scavenger hunt” is therefore misleading – it lacked the puzzle, search or playful aspect you would expect with such a format. At each of the 10 stations there was a sight to which one had to answer a question. The information about the places was quite nice but very superficial. Most of the questions were extremely simple and quickly solved – only one task required some creative thinking, but the answer was so abstract that you didn’t really come up with it. Overall it was a nice pastime, but definitely not an experience you want to have a second time. This tour is not recommended for puzzle or adventure lovers. If you really want to learn about the city or experience an exciting activity, look for other offers.
Solo adventure through Freiburg’s charm

5.00This was the perfect way to explore Freiburg on my own! The clues led me through the old town, past the cathedral, and into quiet, beautiful corners. Fun, flexible, and a great way to see the city while learning a bit of history along the way. Highly recommend for solo travelers!
Not recommended -we have discontinued

1.00Super long signup process and then it had no localization integrated; you had to go to the next place via an inactive map, so constantly out of the app and in Google Maps manually search the place. Super annoying, we dropped out. In other app it is better done - would have been desirable if you are guided in the app to the next location by map and then it recognizes the location. -not the case here.

4.00It was interesting to get to know the city in this way. The puzzles should be a bit trickier or different difficulty levels would be an idea... otherwise best thanks for the experience 🙂

5.00Nice way to visit Freiburg. Course of 10 stops with puzzles. Suitable for children from 6 years old. A little expensive on the other hand because the minimum price is 12€ for 1 or 2 adults. I recommend it anyway.
