Not for December

4.00Good fun but not for December. The Christmas Market meant lots of the attractions were difficult to get to or unaccessible. Also some of the map names were different to how it was listed on the game
Nice easy walk around lovely town

5.00My husband and I, along with our dear friend, had a wonderful time seeing what Annecy has to offer! As it was our first visit here, it was so nice to get so much of the history of this beautiful place while we were solving each clue and admiring the views. This was a wonderful way to spend a few hours on our first day! We all highly recommend this Scavenger Hunt!

A storybook way to explore Annecy

5.00Annecy is beautiful on its own, but the scavenger hunt added a special layer of magic to our visit. We wandered along canals, through colorful old streets, and into quiet green spaces — all while solving clues that revealed bits of history and local charm. It really felt like stepping into a fairytale. A wonderful way to see the city, especially if it’s your first time here.
A total disappointment

1.00It's pointless to pay 8 euros per person, all they do is send you information taken from Google, it's been a total disappointment

5.00We had a fantastic time using the World City Trail app in Annecy! The selection of locations was outstanding, and we discovered corners of the city we might not have otherwise seen. The puzzles were challenging and a lot of fun. We especially loved the option to customize the route – that's a real bonus! This app is highly recommended for anyone who wants to explore a city in a playful way.
