Rätsel viel zu schwer für Touristen, Tipps helfen nur bedingt, ohne Google wären wir auf gar keine Lösung gekommen. Macht in der Form keinen Spaß, vor allem nicht für den Preis.

Er stond bij dat het niet gemakkelijk zou zijn, maar zo moeilijk was echt niet motiverend om door te gaan.. We voelden ons behoorlijk dom omdat het ook onduidelijk was hoe we aan de informatie moesten komen op veel van de vragen, dus moesten we steeds hints gebruiken en dan is het gewoon geen leuke speurtocht. Uiteindelijk wel genoten van de mooie stad, maar voor dat geld hadden we beter zelf een wandeling kunnen uitstippelen. Ander puntje was dat de website een error had dat die niet naar het Engels vertaalde en we daar heel lang mee hebben zitten prutsen om het voor elkaar te krijgen dat google deed vertalen. Wellicht hebben anderen geen moeite met het niveau, maar voor ons was het helaas geen succes..
