Just too cold of a day

Zachary_S, Jan 2026
If it is cold and dark and you do not know the area it is difficult because we did not know the area

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Hi there! Thank you for the review of the North End Boston Mafia tour. We are sorry to hear the weather and darkness made things difficult! ❄️ Navigating a brand new area in the cold can definitely be a challenge. We appreciate you braving the elements to give it a try, and we hope you get the chance to experience another quest on a warmer, sunnier day. Thanks for choosing Questo!

Solid.

Gary_M, Aug 2024
Very good concept. Mostly good implementation of a scavenger hunt. There were inaccuracies regarding a couple of the "quests." Other than that, a mostly entertaining few hours.

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Philip_N, Jun 2024
We explored much more of the North End than ever before. Getting the QR code, email link/address and downloading/configuring the Questo app wasn’t as smooth as I had hoped.

Great way to see Interesting quirky places in the city…love it, Took away one star because some of the clues were difficult. Some of the signs were a different color, so it made it a tad frustrating at times. Other than that it was amazing fun. Would definitely recommend it.!!
