5.00Very funny idea and a great individual way of a city tour! From us it would have been nice to have been able to impart a little more knowledge maybe you could go a little deeper into the topic and make the texts longer! But still for the price a nice idea!
Recommended with small swabs

4.00Interesting way to experience part of the city. The tips at the respective stations were helpful and good. But if you read everything and look at the stops, it takes you 3-4 hours. Unfortunately, the app hung up multiple times, on all phones. The question on the point “Vienna State Opera” was insoluble because it was worded incorrectly. Orthographic errors would not really have to be. And how can one please understand the sentence “He composed marches and Polish women.”??

5.00Very fun experience for us and a great way to see things we may not have normally looked for. Likes having the option to stop and go and do things at your own pace.

4.00A scavenger hunt on the smartphone...we found it very amusing. The group should of course know each other beforehand, but then we all found it very funny. And you can't go wrong with that price either.
Fun easy intro to Vienna

5.00The tour was a fun casual way to get to know the city. We finished only 7 of the clues but that was just fine. Our other city activities interrupted finishing all 10 questions. I don’t want to write a spoiler but I can say there were some surprises along the way that gave us some laughs. Enjoy this simple tour.
A great way to see the sights.

5.00This was so much fun to do. We saw many important sights and learned a lot about each. My husband, who hates sightseeing tours, loved this one. Hint: bring pen and paper with you.
A fun, inexpensive way to see Vienna!
