Neue Pfade

Vanessa_H, Mar 2025

Es hat Spaß gemacht andere als die typischen touristischen Pfade zu entdecken. Die zwei angesetzten Stunden sind untertrieben. Wir mussten sehr viel lesen dabei gab es Familienmitglieder, die kein Englisch sprechen und obwohl es die Option geben sollte, die Sprache zu ändern hat das leider nicht funktioniert. Das hat die Suche etwas erschwert.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Thank you - it’s great that you enjoyed the walk and the crime solving. We are in the process of adding language options so I am sorry it wasn’t ready for your walk. By the end of March we should have Spanish, German, French, Italian at least and hopefully Japanese and Mandarin for all our walks: Holy Grail Trail, Alchemy Trail, Sherlock Trail, Jack the Ripper Trail and Spy Trail

Poco caccia al tesoro ma bel giro alternativo!

Molto bello il percorso del gioco, un giro diverso dal classico giro turistico. Tour operator molto disponibile e gentile. Poco caccia al tesoro

Response from Host, Feb 2025

I’m so glad you enjoyed the walk. I am sorry if you expected more of a treasure hunt: it is a walk with clues to solve the murder in the story, not in the landscape. My walks do not easily fit into TripAdvisor’s product categories!
