  • 5Easy and enjoyable

    Simple activity. It was a good guide for me as I wandered around Lübeck. The route was easy to follow. The background information per stop was accurate as they matched what was written on the official plaques The puzzles were easy, though probably more fun to do it with others. There was construction going on while I toured so I couldn’t get a good look for some of the stops. Nevertheless it was fun and I enjoyed getting the right answer The duration was just right as 10 stops could be done quickly or as slowly as you like. I chose to stay longer in some places and simply pass by others The app was smooth and easy to set up

  • 5Great for getting the vibe on a flex schedule

    We did the "Scavenger Hunt" version of the Lübeck tour. It was great because it gave us the highlights of the city in a way that kept our son engaged, and we could do it on our own schedule. The riddles were not that complex, but the text was surprisingly good at turning history into urban legends that were interesting without being too heavy with facts.

  • 4Lübeck city center

    Beautiful city to walk and discover the new and old part of it. In the beginning, i did not expect it to be that much pretty for a small city close to hamburg.

  • 4Fun Hunting in Lubeck

    What a pretty city! When decided to spend the day in Lubeck, instead of Hamburg and weren’t disappointed. We downloaded this scavenger hunt to our phone, which was really easy to do, and set off. The tour gives you directions, then hints to solve a question - not difficult. You also get an interesting summary of each site. We enjoyed touring on our own and this hunt added some extra fun. Give it a go!

About Kiel

Kiel is a Baltic port city at the end of the Kiel Canal, with a long fjord waterfront, a naval history and a huge sailing festival each June.

Kiel is the capital of Schleswig-Holstein, at the head of a long fjord on the Baltic Sea. It is the eastern end of the Kiel Canal, the busy waterway that links the Baltic with the North Sea, and large ferries and cruise ships sail from its harbour. The university dates from 1665, and the brick tower of the town hall, 106 metres high, is a landmark of the city centre.
