Great exercise for our first afternoon and seeing the sites of Rome in a fun way! Wish there was more detail from the book or movie.
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Thanks so much for playing the Angels & Demons quest in Rome! We're glad it was a fun way to kick off your trip and explore the city. Totally hear you on wanting more book/movie details — we’ll keep that in mind as we keep improving the experience. Hope to see you on another adventure soon!
Kelly_A, Nov 2024
Had the best time although some of the questions were hard due to the work being done on some of the statues and ect as most of Rome is being cleaned up for 2025 so some of the things were hard or impossible to find
Response from Host, Nov 2024
It's awesome to hear that you had such a great time exploring Rome! We can imagine how the renovations and cleaning work might have made things a little tricky. Hopefully, when everything’s finished for 2025, you’ll get to experience the city in a whole new way. Thanks for sharing your feedback, and we can’t wait to be part of your next adventure!

This was such a terrific was to see a different side of Rome. The quest took us slightly off the beaten track and it was fantastic. We decided to make a day of it and thought that racing across the city trying to post the fastest time was such a waste. We stopped for lunch at a lovely 'family run' restaurant along the way which was why one part of our quest took over 2 hours!!! It was the first time I had tried one of these app led encounters and now it will be the first thing I look for wherever I go next. The only downside was that some of the 'clues' were covered by scaffolding so we had to really use our imagination at times but also skip a couple of the answers. That doesn't put me off giving this experience 5 stars though. We saw things that otherwise we would have missed.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We absolutely love your approach—taking your time, enjoying a great local lunch, and letting the quest guide you through the hidden corners of Rome. That’s exactly the kind of experience we hope to create.
Sorry about the clues affected by scaffolding—we're always working to keep things updated, and your note helps.
We’re thrilled to hear Questo will be your go-to for future travels. See you on your next adventure!
APPLY_A, Aug 2024
Very poorly put together. The clues were very general, needed to be more specific. We reached out to let the company know that it wasn’t working out and they never responded. Will not use Questo ever again.
Response from Host, Aug 2024
I'm sorry to hear that your experience was disappointing. We strive to provide engaging and clear clues, and it's unfortunate that this wasn’t the case for you. Your feedback about the lack of response is concerning, and we'll look into this to ensure better communication in the future. If you have any further details or suggestions, please feel free to reach out to us directly at care@questoapp.com as we work to improve our offerings.

Fun and cute for the family! It takes you all over Rome and the sites you see and fun you experience make you not even notice all the walking you did!
Response from Host, Feb 2024

Thomas_C, Oct 2023
Getting some additional back-story on the locations that we were sent to... That was incredible... Making us both think and learn added so much more than just being a tourist.
Response from Host, Oct 2023
We're thrilled you appreciated the additional back-story at each location. Making your journey more engaging is our goal. If you have further feedback or want to share more experiences, feel free to reach out. Your insights are highly valued.
Bonnie_G, Sep 2023
Fun way to wander around Rome on foot. The clues were pretty simple, we enjoyed the story, similar the film, and we saw and learned things we wouldn’t have without this adventure. Worth a couple of hours of your time if you have a spare day in Rome!
Response from Host, Sep 2023
We're thrilled that you enjoyed your adventure in Rome with us! Creating engaging narratives and opportunities for hidden discoveries is our passion. Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and we're eager to accompany you on more exciting urban explorations in the future! 🏛️🏞️🗺️😄
Daniela_M, Sep 2023
App didn’t work, impossible to connect other players. The game was too long and an exhausting walk when Rome is hit by a heatwave. Very basic riddles. Absolutely no value for money. Not an escape.
Response from Host, Sep 2023
We apologize for your disappointing experience. Please contact us at care@questoapp.com to share more details about the issues you faced. Your feedback will help us improve our services. Thank you.
Rick_M, Jul 2023
This would have been a great experience but had technical difficulty as i am not tech savy. Ended up running out of daylight to complete game and could not figure out how to pause so had to quit game. But when playing the game was very enjoyable.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
We are sorry for any inconvenience caused by the technical difficulties you encountered during the quest. Your feedback is important to us, and we appreciate your patience. Please send us an email at care@questoapp.com so we can understand the issue better and to help you with more details.

Noel_T, Jun 2023
The required app was not available for download the entire day we were in Rome. We were never able to do this game. I have reached out to viator three times and they have denied my request for a refund.
Response from Host, Jun 2023

Response from Host, Nov 2022
Thank you for sharing positive experience with Questo. We are grateful that you enjoyed the game. Hope to see you explore more games with us.
Tony_A, Nov 2022
This was a fun way of seeing the city. Trying to find the clues made everything that much better. I would recommend to everyone
Response from Host, Nov 2022
Thank you for the positive review. We are glad that you enjoy the game in Rome. Hope to see you explore more games with us.
Nicolas_F, Jul 2022
We absolutely loved to play this mystery game with our children of 10 & 13. It not only helped to entertain us and them but also made us see some of the most important treasures of Rome.
Response from Host, Jul 2022
Hi Nicolas! Thank you for your positive feedback. We are glad that you enjoyed the game. Hope to see you play more games with us.
Mandip_K, Jul 2022
I purchased this tour but the Quest App failed to load my booking. Viator also did not offer a direct link to the App to allow for the two to connect and so I could not utilise my purchase, was very disappointed.
Response from Host, Jul 2022
Mandip, sorry for your issue. If you would've contacted us directly, we would've gladly helped you. In this context, there's nothing more we could do than the refund we already processed. Hope to see you playing a game soon.
Michael_S, Sep 2021
Great way to have the kids explore the city and remember some of the facts. Would recommend to the families with kids.
Response from Host, Sep 2021
Lovely review! Happy to see you enjoyed exploring Rome with Questo. Look forward to seeing what you explore next.
pochahontasia, Aug 2019
Enjoyed this way of exploring the city on our own; we love guided tours, but the beauty of this tour was that we were able to completely take our time, and stay longer at some of the locations exploring things. Also, the game itself was extremely fun to do - not the last time we're doing this!
Response from Host, Aug 2019
Oh yeah! That's exactly the type of review we want to see from our users. We love the fact that you can now explore cities on your own pace, without being tight to the schedule of a regular tour guide. Looking forward to seeing you play many more quests.
nada_d, Jul 2025
The statues of Bernini n Santa Maria degli angeli were not there, and the ecstasy of Santa Teresa was not visible because access was denied.
