(Translated by Google) We did the scavenger hunt in Munich and were absolutely thrilled. Flexible, informative, entertaining, funny, and we got to know a familiar city from a completely different perspective. We'll definitely do it again soon! (Original) Haben die Schnitzeljagd in München gemacht und waren schwer begeistert. Flexibel, informativ, kurzweilig, witzig und wir lernten auch eine uns bekannte Stadt von einer ganz anderen Seite kennen. Bald wieder!

(Translated by Google) It was fun, and we rediscovered Weimar in a whole new way. We were two adults and a 10-year-old child (who, of course, didn't have a smartphone yet), so we paid for three... Completely unnecessary. We definitely overpaid for the scavenger hunt; a real disappointment. This wasn't communicated well; was it intentional? Therefore, one point deducted. (Original) Hat schon Spass gemacht, und wir haben Weimar noch einmal ganz neu entdeckt. Wir, das sind zwei Erwachsene und ein Kind von 10 Jahren (natürlich noch kein Smartphone) haben dann für drei bezahlt… Eigentlich völlig unnötig. Somit deutlich zu viel ausgegeben für die Schnitzeljagd; ein herber Wermutstropfen. Das wird nicht gut kommuniziert; bewusst? Daher einen Punkt Abzug.
