Explore Frankfurt’s landmarks on a flexible 5.7 km smartphone tour with audio, history, and 10 riddles for $8.

“Comodo il collegamento a Google Maps per raggiungere l’attrazione successiva. Le spiegazioni però sono molto basiche e piuttosto brevi. Avrei preferito contenuti più approfonditi e dettagliati, magari con qualche curiosità o aneddoto interessante. Nel complesso mi aspettavo qualcosa di più. Detto questo, per il prezzo che si paga (7€) è veramente basso, quindi nel complesso il rapporto qualità-prezzo resta comunque buono.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 39 reviews · 1 hours · from $5Best value

Review of Frankfurt’s self-guided Old Town puzzle walk, with 11 riddles, River Main views, offline play, pricing, tips, and honest drawbacks.

“This was such a fun tour/exploration game! It took us all over old city, and we loved solving the little puzzles along the way. Actually, we loved it so much we booked a second one in a different city for later in our vacation. I was concerned that the tour would be very easy or cheesy, but it wasn’t like that at all. You had to go to the places to figure out the answers, so it could entertain a group of adults or a family with young kids all the same.”
