  1. Team Fuglebakke

    MORE!

  2. BBSB

    Wir waren schon mehr als zehn Mal in Venedig. Dieses Rätsel hat uns trotzdem neue Perspektiven eröffnet. Die deutsche Übersetzung war an manchen Stellen etwas knifflig. Wir hatten trotzdem ganz viel Spaß. Uneingeschränkt empfehlenswert!

  3. Stinkendes Einhorn

    Joa ganz gut

  4. Stali

    It was great!!!

  5. Super slimme Schumer

    It was really nice to see Venice this way, although some questions were very unclear in our opinion.

  6. Fernandes

    Very fun and easy to solve!

  7. JessFlorence

    Really great day and so much better than following a tour guide.

  8. Wankers

    Really good way to see different parts of the city, learnt a lot more than we would have just wandering the streets

  9. The Venetian Dogs

    Fun and educational, away from crowds! Great!

  10. Milson

    Perfect way of exploring the less known places. We used on a day trip and thoroughly enjoyed.
