You guide yourself through Dresden’s historic center with 11 sealed envelopes, solving riddles from Theaterplatz past the Semperoper, Frauenkirche, Dresden Castle, Zwinger, and more. The route takes about 210 minutes, but you can pause, split it across days, or pick up the box in Dresden.
Use the Questo app to guide your private group through Frankfurt’s Old Town and along both sides of the River Main. Solve 11 location-based riddles, learn local stories, and finish at Römerberg. The game takes about 70 minutes, but you can pause for museums, meals, and photos.
“I get to know the city on my own which is really cool. Some places probably not even on the tour if I go with a tour group. 😊”
Follow a self-guided English audio walk through Mainz, starting at the cathedral and ending at Hopfengarten. VoiceMap provides spoken stories, maps, and offline directions as you pass Leichhof, Kirschgarten, Gutenberg Museum, Staatstheater, and Ballplatz at your own pace.
“Love the adventure and the information was great! Could not figure out how to see the map when we went a tiny bit off course - so do read the instructions as we did not 😀”
Use the VoiceMap app to follow an English GPS walking tour through Freiburg’s Old Town. In about 60 to 90 minutes, you’ll see the cathedral, medieval gates, canals, old civic buildings, Augustinerplatz, and the famous crocodile sculpture, with offline maps and audio.
“I loved this! For such a small city, I think it was good to do this tour self guided. I’m solo traveling and liked being able to go at my own pace and take pictures, etc. Not have to worry about being left behind by the group or not being able to hear the guide. It is a pretty busy, touristy city. So it was nice to be able to do it on my own and avoid the crowds. The area you walk is small and condensed though. And also pick a time of day that was convenient for me. I will be using this app in other cities!! Keep…”
