This is not a Banksy guided tour!

Lis_S, Sep 2024

The App and the instructions were far too complicated. Involved changing screens all the time. I was looking for a self guided walk taking myself and 4 friends around a route to look at “Banksy Art”. - which is what was described after all! But this appears to be some sort of competitive quiz game, v irritating! There were other murals nothing to do with Banksy either, some that could have been mentioned as well, to help confirm I was walking in the expected direction. 3 of us downloaded the app but they also felt confused and disappointed as well and that’s when we agreed to abandoned the walk. A waste of money as we then did our own walk around Bristol together, as 2 of us know Bristol reasonably well. Luckily it was lovely weather.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

We understand your frustration and we are really sorry to hear that the experience didn’t meet your expectations. It sounds like you were hoping for a straightforward self-guided walk focused on Banksy art, but ended up feeling confused by the app’s instructions. That must have been quite disappointing, especially since you had your friends with you. We always strive to provide clear guidance and an enjoyable experience, so your feedback is valuable. If you're open to it, we’d love to assist you further. Please feel free to reach out to our Customer Support Team via chat, available 24/7, or email us at care@questoapp.com. We want to make sure you have a better experience in the future!

Payed for but unused due to clumsy interface

Terry_B, Sep 2024

Difficult to navigate the start. Ended up using a different tour application after paying for this one.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

I understand the frustration with getting started on the game, and I’m sorry it wasn’t a smooth experience. If you ever run into issues like this again, feel free to contact our support team via chat or at care@questoapp.com—we're here to help! We hope you'll give us another try in the future.

We arrived to the destination and no one was there. The hotel, where we were told to meet, had no idea about the tour.

Lisa_S, Aug 2024

There WAS NO EXPERIENCE. We found no trace of a tour or anyone that knew anything at all about it. Very disappointed and I’d like a refund of my full charges.

Response from Host, Aug 2024

We're thrilled to hear you had such a great time! It's wonderful to know you found the activity fun and engaging. Thank you for your enthusiastic feedback!

Great tour. Story not needed.

Joanne_S, Nov 2023

If was great to see the art work and explore different parts of Bristol. We skipped through the 'love story' as it was very cheesy and wouldn't be suitable for young children. Some of the questions weren't easy to answer as the answers could have been a number of things. On one question you had to fill in a street name. We were literally stood in front of the sign and got the question wrong. Not sure if the street name has been changed since the tour was started but definitely wouldn't have got the answer without skipping it. On the whole we enjoyed the tour as a couple, the facts and art was briliant but the story and some of the clues were a bit pointless.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thanks a bunch for sharing your experience in Bristol with us! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed exploring the art and different parts of the city. We're sorry for any confusion with the street name question; please send us more details at care@questoapp.com, we'll review and update if necessary. It's wonderful to know that, on the whole, you found the experience enjoyable. We're here to ensure your adventures are fun and memorable!

Disappointed

Susan_L, Sep 2023

I’m not sure I want you to print this review because we have had a few wonderful outings with Viator in various countries but this was not one of them. I had the game confirmed and paid for and we downloaded the tickets on to our iPhones. On the morning of the game we got to the starting place and it all went wrong. We just got a message YOU DON’T HAVE ENOUGH JEWELS. We could not get past this. It was hugely disappointing as we had brought friends with us.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

We're truly sorry to hear about the inconvenience you faced during your recent experience. This is not the kind of adventure we want our explorers to have. Please reach out to us at care@questoapp.com with your booking details, and we'll do our best to resolve this issue promptly. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to assisting you.

It sucks

BurtWiand, Oct 2022

App very poor hard to use and deceptive as to price. You should be ashamed. Map was slow and poor. Very disappointed.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Thank you for your review and for bringing this to our attention. We're sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with our game. We would love to help resolve this issue for you. Please send us more information in our email at care@questoapp.com about what happened and we'll be happy to help.

Thought this was a great way to see many parts of Bristol you would not normally see. I did not know what to expect but the trip is very cleverly done and was a lot of fun.

Finding the street art was great fun as somebody who doesn't know the city, it was also easy to use.

A fun way to see the city

Anna_F, Sep 2021

A really interesting way to see the city and to learn more about the street art. The story is quite cheesy but that’s not a problem, although it doesn’t really add anything to the experience.

Response from Host, Sep 2021

Thank you for sharing your experience, and feedback. I forwarded your comment to the content team, who are always working on improving our games. Would love to see you explore many more destinations with us soon.
