Overview
ItineraryThis is a typical itinerary for this productStop At: Karmelitenkirche St. Joseph und St. Maria Magdalena, Sanderstr. 12, 97070 Wurzburg, Bavaria GermanyThe Carmelite Church of St. Joseph and St. Maria Magdalena in Würzburg was built by Antonio Petrini from 1662 to 1669. It was the first Baroque church of Würzburg, one that survived the tragic events of WW2. Approximately 500 people were sheltered from the bombing in the spacious crypt under the Church, where a child was born during the inferno. On March 16, 1945 , the vaults of the church, which served as a public air raid shelter were destroyed by bombs or a firestorm and the "by no means modest" furnishings burned almost completely. Don’t worry! The church was completely rebuilt by 1950 so you can continue discovering its hidden stories by looking around to find the answer to our challenge and advance to the next location.Duration: 10 minutesStop At: Cologne Cathedral, Domkloster 4, 50667 Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia GermanyHere you will come across one of the most impressive monuments of the world: the Cologne Cathedral, the largest Gothic church in northern Europe and a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. Being designed as a grandiose house for the reliquary of the Three Kings by its medieval builders, it represented a place of worship for the Holy Roman Emperor. Despite having been left incomplete during the medieval period for some centuries, Cologne Cathedral eventually became unified as "a masterpiece of exceptional intrinsic value" and "a powerful testimony to the strength and persistence of Christian belief in medieval and modern Europe".

We enjoyed the Tour very much. Although we went in the early afternoon. Might be more fun in the late afternoon when its a bit more dark. You see places of Cologne you usually don't visit and you learn a lot about witches. It was pretty nice that you go on your own. The only Tour guide you have is your mobile Phone. That was really good. What wasn't so good was at the End. The Cologne "Rathaus" was a complete building site. That made it difficult to complete the last riddle.

It should be clear that there is quite a bit of preparation work on the participant to make this possible. This was not clearly communicated. You must download an app on your phone, requiring wifi or using phone data to do so. This was challenging for me and I would have appreciated doing this prior to my trip to save time and frustration. I was never able to see a single location because the first stop was a 45 minute walk from where I was located in the heart of Cologne. In fact, if you are staying near the Cathedral or near the water at all I would not recommend this tour. I was not willing, with my Senior aged mother and children, to walk 45 minutes in one direction then presumable back where I was. And if you can’t do the first stop, no others will be revealed to you. It was a waste of money and time, as I contacted customer service on several occasions.

Nette Idee und führt zu einem interessanten Spaziergang. Bei den Rätseln waren wir aber häufig nicht sicher, ob wir an der richtigen Stelle stehen und am Ende aber trotzdem von den einfachen Antworten enttäuscht.
Wir haben es auch nicht zuende gespielt, weil die Geschichte nicht spannend genug war.

Le jeu est sympa, les énigmes sont ni trop difficiles, ni trop simples. En revanche, le site ne mentionne pas (ou pas assez) que le point de départ n’est pas à la cathédrale, mais à un bon 3,5 km de là. Ce n’est qu’après avoir réservé que nous nous en sommes rendu compte, et avons pris le métro. On a découvert une partie de la ville que nous n’avions pas encore visité et avons pris +- 119 minutes pour finir ! Moi, je le recommande à ceux qui le font avant tout pour se balader et rajouter un plus à leur balade.

This was one of the best self-guided tours I have ever experienced. Played with friends, awesome way for getting to know center of Cologne with its marvelous history. Story was well-written and very exciting to follow. If you are into a little bit of spookiness and night walks in foreign city without having to follow map all the time, this is a perfect tour to check out.
