Dallas... Explorial is what was missing there.

ngela_F, Apr 2023

The self-guided tour app from Explorial was the perfect way to explore Dallas. The app was user-friendly, and the tour was well-planned and informative. I loved being able to explore on my own and take my time at each stop. I would highly recommend this app to anyone looking for a unique and immersive travel experience.

The Explorial tour was such a fun way to visit the city of Dallas! As first-time visitors, we felt like we went to all the most important landmarks while staying within our budget. We had so much fun with the challenges and photo tasks. I recommend going on this tour and will try Explorial in other cities we visit.

Wir haben Explorial schon...

Caroline_A, Apr 2023

Wir haben Explorial schon in anderen Städten in Europa gespielt und waren erstaunt, dass es das auch in Amerika gibt. Wir haben es auch hier ausprobiert und es hat unsere Erwartungen voll erfüllt: Die wichtigsten Orte kurz erklärt und jeweils Aufgaben (inkl. Fotoaufgaben!) vor Ort. Es hat auch hier wieder viel Spass gemacht, zu empfehlen!
