If you’re looking for a way to see Tours that’s a little different from the usual sightseeing, the Express Rally Adventure might be just what you need. While I haven’t personally done this tour, the concept of combining city exploration with playful challenges sounds like a great way to spice up your day. It’s designed for small groups, making it intimate and engaging, and it’s perfect if you enjoy a mix of culture, adventure, and a bit of friendly competition.
What I really like about this experience is how it encourages you to look at Tours differently—through a series of creative tasks rather than just wandering around with a guidebook. Plus, the price point at $111 per person seems reasonable for what you get: a full 8-hour day filled with challenges, local cuisine, and fun surprises. The only potential downside? It’s not ideal if you’re traveling with kids under 16 or prefer a more relaxed, less interactive tour. If you’re someone who loves a lively, participatory adventure, though, this could be a perfect fit.
This tour suits curious travelers who enjoy a bit of unpredictability, value social interaction, and want to experience Tours in a memorable, hands-on way. It’s especially good for small groups who can really get into the spirit of the challenges and share some laughs along the way.

What makes this tour stand out?
This experience isn’t your typical city tour. Instead of passive sightseeing, you’re actively involved from the moment you arrive. The tour’s format encourages teamwork and creativity, making it ideal if you want to break away from traditional guided walks. The various challenges are designed to make you look at Tours’ sights with fresh eyes—and sometimes with a humorous twist. For example, one challenge asks you to take a photo in “dancer mode” at the opera house. It sounds silly, but it’s a clever way to make you pay attention to details you might otherwise overlook.
The itinerary: How does the day unfold?
The meeting point’s exact location is provided after booking, and the day starts with a welcome coffee to set a relaxed tone. From there, you’ll be handed a scarf and an ecocup—small touches that make the event feel organized yet informal. As you set out on your adventure, your team will face several challenges, such as taking selfies with people wearing ear retractor devices or in front of large sculptures like Montlouis.
The challenges are spread across Tours and its outskirts, so you’ll get to see a good chunk of the city while having fun. The structure of the day is flexible enough to allow spontaneous moments and interaction with local entertainers who are present throughout the event. Expect to spend a significant part of the 8 hours actively moving, which keeps the energy high.
Highlights and Challenges
- Cultural Challenge: Taking a photo in dancer mode at the Tours opera house encourages you to pay attention to architecture and perhaps even have a little fun with your camera.
- Observation Challenge: Selfies with someone wearing an ear retractor might seem odd at first, but it’s a playful way to get you looking at details and engaging with strangers.
- Hitchhiking Challenge: Taking a selfie in front of the Montlouis sculpture combines a bit of local art appreciation with the thrill of spontaneous transportation.
These challenges aren’t just about taking pictures—they’re about seeing the city in a different light and creating stories to tell afterward.

We loved the inventive nature of the challenges, which turn sightseeing into a playful game. The inclusion of local food and entertainment added warmth and a community vibe. It’s also a fantastic way to meet other travelers who are into more active, engaging experiences.
