Day trip did not pass on any information that we had discussed which was very frustrating. They had said I needed 2 pedicabs and charged me for that and then one showed up. However, our driver was beyond amazing and pushed all 3 of us around Munich.

What a blast! We love the challenges and the clues of this game. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a fun and interactive way to explore Munich with friends or family.

We played as a family and it ended being a huge phone game race through the city. We all enjoyed it and are already looking forward to trying Explorial in a different city.

Stephanie was great. she gave us loads of history of Munich and the market and got us some great food to try. Would definitely recommend and would love to do it again.

We had a great guide and got to try lots of food. Even though we’re all very familiar with the city we learned a lot.
