Scavenger hunt in Freiburg - Very nice tour and very informative. You can also combine the tour with various stops. However, you should plan more time.

Recommend! - Despite having lived in the freiburg area for 25 years this is the first walking tour we have done! We have learnt a lot more about the city. The app took into areas we have not been before but will visit again.

Freiburg was a ton of fun - Besides experiencing for ourselves what the city had to offer on our own, we first found our way around great places to see. It's great for a quick walk around the city if you still haven't had the chance to get to know it a little bit.

Freiburg is well worth seeing - You need more than 1 day for Freiburg. We really liked the city and we took a tour of the city using the Explorial app (approx. 10€/person, min. 2 people). It took us 3 hours and was exhausting, but my 2 girls persevered bravely.

Münsterwurst - Interesting information and questions. To get started good selection of sights. Navigation was a bit difficult on my phone, relatively small screen.

an uninviting grey city - busy city, lots of economic activities, an interesting local produce market, skyrocketing prices

Great disappointment - We already stopped after the third place to visit. The game was so boring 🙄 If you want to visit a town, on its cultural side, and avoid daily routine and stress, DO NOT book this stressful activity!
