The questions were quite...

Rhonda_C, Apr 2025
The questions were quite hard to answer so I suggest you click to the question quickly so the time counts down as you admire the site. Good for getting around to see different areas in the city! We did have to use our phone gps to assist in finding the areas as the map on the app did give us some difficulty!

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Hi Rhonda, Thanks so much for playing and for sharing your experience! We're glad to hear you enjoyed exploring the city — that's exactly what we hope to inspire with every quest. We appreciate your tip about checking the question early — smart move! Some puzzles can definitely be tricky, and we're always working to strike the right balance between challenge and fun. Also, thank you for the feedback on the map. We're currently working on some improvements to make navigation even smoother in future updates. Hope to see you on another Questo adventure soon — maybe in a new city next time!

Great experience despite not finding one of the locations

Joana_K, Apr 2024
Overall great experience, although a couple of clues were not very well explained, and one, we couldn't find the location at all! Maybe it was removed? All in all it was worth it though, really fun way to explore a city.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

This is not worth it and waste of money.

Jojo_C, Jun 2022
This is not worth my time waste of money. We were expecting that the game will guide to go to different point of interest but we were stuck in one area only.

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Besser ist es nicht den...

Ole_G, Aug 2024
Besser ist es nicht den Wegbeschreibungen zu folgen, sondern mit der Map zum nächsten Ort zu finden, denn die sind wirklich nicht eindeutig. Die Rästel sind zum Teil auch nicht gut formuliert. Dennoch hat die Tour eine Route über alle wichtigen Orte.

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! We're glad to hear you appreciated the tour's route through all the important places. Your feedback about using the map instead of the directions and the clarity of some puzzles is valuable and will help us improve the experience.

Leuke alternatieve tour doorheen de stad

veronique_c, Aug 2023
Een zeer leuke manier om de stad te ontdekken en de rijke geschiedenis te leren. We ontdekten dingen die we uit eerdere tours nog niet wisten.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

We're delighted that you had a very fun time exploring the city and delving into its rich history! It's fantastic to hear that you uncovered new insights that previous tours didn't offer.
