Disappointing experience – not what we expected”

Tamara_G, Sep 2026

Unfortunately, this was not the experience we expected. We spent most of the time feeling like we were on a wild goose chase, with very little guidance or support from a tour guide. Overall, it was a disappointing experience and we don’t feel it was worth the money. I would recommend looking into other options before booking.

Response from Host, Oct 2026

I am really sorry to hear that the experience in The Rocks was frustrating and did not meet your expectations. Because our quests are entirely self-guided games played on a mobile app rather than with a live tour guide, I completely understand your disappointment if you were expecting a guided group tour. We want to learn more about what went wrong and make things right, so please email us at explore@questoapp.com so we can investigate and offer you a free quest to try an experience you will genuinely enjoy.

Book this experience!

Fun, affordable, knowledgeable and interactive experience. You get to see how people work and it really is about being team mates. Tbh it was easy but exploring Sydney was the best part! I’m a local and learnt so much about my hometown

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Thanks so much for playing and for the wonderful review! I'm thrilled to hear that even as a local you learnt so much about your hometown and enjoyed the teamwork along the way. Hope you will explore another destination with Questo soon!

Magical Spooky Virtual Tour

Mark_D, Dec 2024

This was such a neat virtual mystery/ghost tour. We decided to do the tour at night, so it was even spookiest. There is alot of walking, but it was fun. We would probably recommend this for age 10+ due to the scary stories.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thanks for sharing your experience! It’s great to hear you enjoyed exploring and adding your own twist to the adventure. We appreciate your thoughts and hope you’ll join us for another journey soon!
