5.00Great way to explore the town and learn some history. Some of the clues were obscure and unanswerable-for me anyway. But a great way to kill a few hours

3.00A path with nice quizzes to keep the attention of the kids high, not very useful from an organizational point of view in the sense that it does not give practical information for possible visits to monuments or the location of the same (eg in the squares) but only historical information pertaining to the place where you are. It is not a ring but you can quickly return by tram (the ticket is also made on board)
Amen and for all tastes

4.00A different and entertaining way to get to know the city, you like the different monuments, telling you, in writing, the story, and finally proposes a challenge, which makes it fun and more fun for young people
The information about the city of Padua...

3.00The information about the city of Padua is interesting and well prepared, but the puzzles have faded our teenage children rather. With smaller children perhaps more recommended.
Cute.

4.00Fun to keep the kids busy. Simple quizzes, even if in one you did not understand what to do feeling instructions. Translation of texts is not always accurate (Hungarian and Hungarian are 2 different things).
Nice fun idea

5.00The game is very nice and above all with a nice smattering of the main monuments of the city connected with the route guide and well structured. Fun quizzes like having a guide. I had fun
