4.00A tour of the city punctuated with riddles and some lines of history about the monuments. Suggestions for shops or specialties at each stop. You can resume the itinerary whenever you want: very convenient.
Nice way to explore a city

4.00A great way to explore the city on your own and at your own pace. More information about the individual places would have been gratifying. We also find 5€ per person rather reasonable than the fixed 10€ per person. Besides, most of the puzzles were too simple, you could have thought a little longer. Still a good thing.
Scavenger hunting per se is a great idea. But this execution is flawed. And a “right solution” is even wrong.

3.00Idea is great. However, execution is not. It is full of mistakes, even a “solution” is wrong. Many questions do not concern the actual landmarks.
Great blend of history and adventure

5.00Bern is such a picturesque city, and this scavenger hunt helped us see both the big landmarks and the quieter, less touristy spots. We loved that it was self-guided and we stopped for lunch and took our time. The historical facts were a nice touch, and the puzzles kept us thinking. A really enjoyable way to explore the city without needing a tour guide!
A fun and clever way to discover Bern

5.00We had an amazing time exploring Bern with this scavenger hunt! The route took us through the charming old town, past the Zytglogge clock tower, Bear Park, and some beautiful hidden corners. The clues were smart and engaging , just challenging enough to keep things interesting. We learned a lot and had plenty of laughs along the way. Highly recommended if you want to explore Bern with a fun twist!
Fabulous

5.00Fabulous way to see and learn about this beautiful city. Would thoroughly recommend this if you want to see all the key sites at your own pace with the ability to stop for drinks and get side tracked where you see something else you’d like to visit.
