“Sehr gute Zusammenstellung der Schnitzeljagd-Box, um wichtige historische Plätze, Örtlichkeiten, Bauwerke und Personen - auch ohne professionelle Führung - gut kennenlernen zu können und dabei noch Rätselspaß zu haben. Kein besonders schwieriges Rätsel und daher gut zu lösen, auch mit Kindern. Gesuchte Punkte sind gut zu finden. Entfernungen zu den einzelnen Örtlichkeiten sind gut zu erlaufen. Tolle Erläuterungen auf der Rückseite mit viel Wissenswertem zu den erlaufenen Örtlichkeiten. Jederzeit gerne wieder !Read more”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 77 reviews · 4h 30m

Explore Hamburg’s harbor at your own pace with 16 riddles, historic Speicherstadt, HafenCity, the Elbphilharmonie and flexible breaks.

“Absolut zu empfehlen! Wer keine Lust hat sich anderen Gruppen anzuschließen und im eigenen Tempo mit zwischenstopps nach seinen Wünschen zu einzulegen, sollte diese Schnitzeljagd machen. Am besten das Handy nicht mit auf Tour nehmen, es könnte sonst zum schummeln verleiten. Wir haben es ohne geschafft und waren mit 3 Zwischenstopps 6 Stunden unterwegs. Wir haben viel gesehen und erfahren und können sie zu 100% empfehlen 😊”

15.Florence Self-Guided Treasure Hunt & Medici Mystery Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 69 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $17Top rated

Solve Medici-inspired clues, find overlooked corners, and enjoy a sweet treat on this flexible two-hour Florence walking quest.

“This experience was a lot of fun!! We went to places that we never would have on our own. The “story” was charming and clever. We learned a bit about history. The less than perfect part was that it was a bit too long and there was no way to end without abandoning it. Just as it seems to be ending there’s another clue and then another. If you want closure there is none but to push through. If you’re tired, that’s hard. But I loved the first 3/4s of it!”
