Do this during daylight

Jeffrey_M, Aug 2024

While this tour says it ends at 11pm, we started at 8pm, as the sun was setting. Rockcliffe doesn't have many street lights. We found it very hard to find the clues in the dark. Plus walking through a park in the dark with a broken limestone path would be dangerous for older folks. This tour would be a lot more fun to do during the daylight. To the tour operators, please change the hours that it ends at like 8pm.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m sorry to hear about the difficulties you faced with the timing of the tour. Just to clarify, Questo games don’t have set schedules—you’re welcome to start and play at any time that suits you best. Your suggestion regarding the timing is appreciated, and I hope this flexibility enhances your future experiences. If you have any other concerns or need further assistance, please let us know!

Good and a bit too easy

Lindsay_G, May 2024

This was a fun activity to do if you want to get a good walk and explore a new part of Ottawa. The challenges were much easier than I was expecting but I still enjoyed the experience.

Response from Host, May 2024

Thank you for sharing your experience! We're glad you enjoyed the walk and exploring Ottawa. We'll take note about the challenges being easier than expected and work on balancing them for future adventures. Can't wait to have you back for more games, with even more exciting challenges!

Great story

Jhon_V, Oct 2023

This was a great experience, we loved the walking, the story and the facts. I would even do it again.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Awesome to read that you had fun playing Questo in Ottawa. Can't wait to see you exploring more with us soon.

J'ai bien aimé l'histoire...

Melanie_T, Jul 2023

J'ai bien aimé l'histoire derrière chaque maison. Avoir des énigmes à faire ajoute un plus à l'activité! Je recommande! En anglais seulement mais quelqu'un qui se débrouille bien en anglais peut facilement comprendre.
