4.00Great app with clear instructions. We had a range of children and some of the information pages were very long to read. We would have liked the tour to have included Anne franks house.
Too easy

3.00It was very basic, much easier than we were expecting. Completed within 1 hour. Could do with adding a few more or making it a little more interactive somehow

5.00Really enjoyed this trail once we managed to download it with some difficulty. But help line and email, quick response and helpful. Got full marks once we spotted there was a clue to show what answer needed. A great way to explore the city. Would do in a different location too 😊
Worth doing. I will buy again in a city other than Amsterdam
