What people are saying about Krakow Old Town

Me and my friends were visiting Poland and didn't really know what to do on the last day, until we came over this. We thought it could be fun, and it was quite cheap, but it truly exceeded our expectations. We would love to ride them even more that day, but didn't have the time for it. We got to drive around the area for an hour looking at stuff by ourselves, while having fun driving. None of us had ever used a segway before so the guy that was there helped and excplained to us how to do it. He showed us first, and then let us try one by one. He took his time, and were really good at explaining how to do it. 10/10 would go again.

First off, our bad for not reading ALL the details of the game and what was required to download. The ONLY major issue with these clues was the weather! One of the final clues/questions required there to be a clean walkway. The snow and frozen area wasn’t ideal, but we made it work!

Traveling with 11 and 14 year olds, this was a great way to get the kids to enjoy sightseeing and the city's history. The game took us to places we otherwise would have missed.

Suburb host , very informative and helpful , thanks again

A nice way to explore the city center. Fun activity!
