Today's city tour was very interesting and brought us closer to the state capital of Schwerin. Our friendly city guide had an answer to every question and told us very sympathetically and authentically about the history of the city and the beautiful sights. Thank you, we definitely recommend it

Really interesting and creative - an excellent way to experience Lubeck at my own pace! Prompted me to see things I would have missed otherwise. I had a little difficulty downloading the guide at first, but Andree was super-helpful and responsive.

Alles super. Wir konnten das Spiel selbstständig starten und es hat alles so wie beschrieben funktioniert

Wir haben das Spiel zufällig entdeckt und waren echt begeistert.

Wir fanden das Konzept sehr witzig und hatten echt viel Spaß!
