While on a one-day cruise stop in Malaga, we decided to book the City Treasure Hunt due to its many positive reviews and were not disappointed; the various stations allowed us to explore many hidden corners of the city that we wouldn't have discovered otherwise, the booking process was smooth and easy, and after meeting Matthias at the agreed-upon meeting point and receiving a brief introduction, we embarked on an exciting day in Malaga that left both our 10- and 14-year-old children thoroughly impressed, and we are grateful to Matthias and Elizabeth for their excellent organization and highly recommend this activity.

The treasure hunt was meticulously planned, and it allowed us to discover corners of Malaga that we otherwise would not have seen; we also appreciated the local recommendations for restaurants, tapas bars, and ice cream parlors that we passed along the way, and overall we came to know and appreciate Malaga in a new way that we would not have experienced without the tour - many thanks to the guides for their excellent work, which made for the perfect tour for us and our 13-year-old daughter.

After receiving clear instructions from Matthias, we embarked on the puzzle tour and completed the mission in approximately three hours, enjoying entertaining puzzles and sightseeing along the way, and the reward was a lovely souvenir - highly recommended!

For those who want to experience Malaga in a different way, this is a great alternative, and thanks to Matthias' friendly and engaging style and his puzzles, which are also suitable for young puzzle enthusiasts, we had a lovely day today.

The tour's unique blend of a guided and self-paced adventure, which encouraged participants to explore Malaga in a fascinating way by searching for clues, made for an incredibly enjoyable experience, complemented by the friendly guides.
