What people are saying about Leipzig

It was really great. A highlight for families with children. Unfortunately, we had two "adult" women with us who accused others of cheating, which wasn't true, and obviously cheated the whole time. And also in the end the stones did together and thus won. It's a pity for all the children that they didn't at least pay attention and it was really very obvious that the two of them cheated. Maybe you should collect the individual bags and count them yourself as a quizmaster without announcing it beforehand...

I was traveling with my two children (8.12 years) and had ordered the scavenger hunt to take home in advance. (You should do this about 1 week before the start of your vacation) The individual puzzles are easy to solve and well suited for children up to 12 years of age. The individual paths are short and/or can be interrupted at any time. The additional information was great for me as an adult - my kids were less interested in it. A good day is Tuesday, then it's market day

A great idea to get to know the city of Leipzig at your own pace. With lots of tips that you wouldn't otherwise pay attention to. Great idea.

An incredibly great experience! The technology was amazing and the support from the guide was great. We will come back in any case.

Great presentation, great puzzles, good idea to do sightseeing at your own pace, was a lot of fun
