Ghosts of Budapest: A Haunting Adventure
Questo hat uns richtig begeistert! Die Rätsel waren abwechslungsreich und spannend, gleichzeitig haben wir unterwegs viele interessante Fakten über Budapest gelernt. Die App hat einwandfrei funktioniert und uns ganz unkompliziert durch die Stadt geführt. Besonders toll war, dass man dabei an Orte kommt, die man sonst vielleicht übersehen würde — so haben wir Budapest nochmal ganz anders erlebt. Wir werden das definitiv wieder machen. Eine super Aktivität, die bei jedem Wetter Spaß macht und sich perfekt für einen besonderen Stadtspaziergang eignet.
