“On a recommendation, we did the self-guided scavenger hunt through Strasbourg as part of our team trip as part of our team trip. The possibility to start and pause flexibly for lunch and coffee was great. Since we had German- and English-speaking participants it would have been more sensible in retrospect to have them booked separately, as the booking for several people can unfortunately only be used in one language even on different terminals. Here an individual choice on the end devices would be better!Auto-translated”
