Would not recommend

Osarugue_O, May 2024
Didn’t work, wanted me to pay extra to get access. Got no response when I tried to get support. Viator was helpful with getting a refund tho!

Response from Host, May 2024

That does not sound right, you have all the instructions sent after the booking. You just need to use the unlocking code in order to redeem the experience, there is no requirement of any additional payment. We are available 24/7 via chat or at care@questoapp.com - please reach out to us so that we can help you with the activity. Looking forward to help you with this matter!
