“Wir waren 16 Personen, davon 5 Kinder, die alle Spaß hatten, auf diese Art und Weise Weimar zu entdecken. Regen und Kälte hätte es jedoch nicht geben dürfen!! Da wäre es wohl günstiger gewesen, für die Tour mit so einer großen Gruppe nicht nur eine Box mit den Aufgaben zu erhalten. (Bezahlt war ja für 2 Gruppen.) Die Gefahr, dass die Gruppe sich dann etwas verliert, zumal aufgrund angekündigter Demonstrationen sehr viel Polizei unterwegs war, ist einfach zu groß! Ansonsten ist diese "Schnitzeljagd" zu empfehlen, da sie in erster Linie für die Kinder veranstaltet wurde!Read more”
