Questo | Walking Tours & City Games
Questo helps you visit cities by following clues and solving riddles to discover popular and hidden attractions with fascinating local stories. Each walking tour you explore is based on a specific theme, which is inspired by movies, books, historical facts or legends. In London, for instance, you can explore the city as Sherlock Holmes or Isaac Newton, while in Paris you can play as Hemingway or Picasso.

- private: explore on your own pace, without depending on the schedule on a large group or a tour guide
- fun: follow clues and solve puzzles to discover new places and stories
To this date, more than 50.000 people have finished a quest while walking more than 150.000 kilometers to discover popular and hidden attractions, as well as urban legends and fascinating stories. As of today, the app has over 100 available walking tours and city games (quests) created by a growing network of local content creators and storytellers.
Our city explorers like to describe the game as a mix of treasure hunts, escape rooms, interactive tourist app, city sightseeing tours, trip planner and free walking tours.

+ People’s Choice Award at Phocuswright Europe in 2019

The Questo Walking Tours and City Games are perfect for:

- teenagers who want to have fun with their friends and
- business and solo travelers in search of adventure and city sightseeing tours created by locals
All the quests are built either by a local insider, a storyteller or an experienced tour guide and include both must-see popular attractions, and hidden places (restaurants with local cuisine, authentic craft workshops, neighborhood bars, leisure areas and many more), that only locals usually know about.
Whether you are travelling or if you're a local looking for things to do or things to see in the city, you can find a city tour (quest) that suits your interests. One day you can save a princess trapped in an ancient castle, the next one you go to the year 3200 and protect the present.

The game was really fun and amazing, it allowed us to learn about the history of a small part of my city, to walk its streets with a different view and to find some awe-inspiring places that we totally love. I give it 4 stars as there are some directions that might be explained better. I hope that soon more games for Mexico City will be available.
Amazing fun, super cool way to explore your own city or a new city while travelling. Would love to see hundreds of games in every city so you can expand on the stories with new chapters cause one is just not enough! This game deserves to become huge and a part of our everyday lives as so many games which trap us inside in front of the computer or xbox are. I wholeheartedly recommend to everyone
It was a fun event the night before Halloween in Austin. It was a little confusing about how to have multiple people play. I paid for two "tickets" but then when I downloaded / installed and set up an account I was able to invite two people. So - not sure if I should not have bought two "tickets" or if it would have been better to just buy one. Also - the answers seem to be a little too exact and some additional correct answers ought to be accepted by the app. For example "XXXXX Quarry" was not correct, but it did accept "XXXXX" spelled the same way which was frustrating - especially as it was the first question.
The game was really fun and different. It gave me a reason to explore my own city and learn some history. I only gave 4 stars because there were a few minor glitches with the game. For example one question asked us to unscramble a a question which was simple and i knew the answer but the problem was with the spelling. Also I purchased 3 tickets just to find out we could have played with just 1. My daughter never even downloaded it so she played with me. Overall great game and experience.
A friend recomened to me the app and I can truly say it is a very nice app. I used it 2-3 times til now and I love it. You discover new things about the city, new building that you can pass easly if you don't pay enough attention. Beside that, you make a short walk which is very nice before having lunch or dinner. I will wait for more cities to explore. Thanks guys for you amazing idea to create this app. 🥳✌
Great fun! The idea is good, new way to dig into a city and discover something of that place while playing. We played a game in Rome, kids got engaged till the end. Only minor issue was with some translations not perfect and one specific which was missing the question required to move on. Didn't realised that it was only a problem with Italian so I contacted the support that replied me back in a matter of seconds, solving the problem. Unbelievable. Sat evening. Amazing!
I'm always excited to play these quests and I really enjoy every quest I have played so far in Bucharest. I'm eager to discover new quests every season, here in my hometown. I recommend this to anyone else who's up for some outdoor activities and loves the historical streets of the city. ALSO I really appreciate the customer support services Questo offers whenever I have issues with the app, they have been always there to help in less than a minute offering solutions!
It was an amazing experience. It has everything, from a fresh and intriguing concept, to a tale and some puzzles. It creates a beautiful environment that not many apps could. Especially nowdays. It incites to discovering, rather than sitting in a cafe on your device. It really worths a shot, for all of you out there that are bored and are into this really new-age concept, this should be your thing. Congratz to the creators and big up! Keep on!
Explored China town in Bangkok. I enjoyed the experience of using it to discover places by myself. It also quizzes you, so it's fun to look out for answers to move on. There are hints if you need one. Tips: 1. Go in the mornings, most places to visit will be open. 2. Have Google maps open to be sure you are on the right road as suggested in their clues. It can get difficult to locate street names while on this quest.
This is something that you have to do in any city where you can find Questo. It is always impressive and unusual, it takes you into another world. It will give you another point of view. The place you are now can be different then it looks like. It makes you feel the city from a different perspective. I personally explored 2 cities, Madrid and Dublin and when I go to another city where I can find Questo, I would definitely try it.
What a find! The app was easy to setup and login. They put a lot of fun facts to the stops on the adventure we went on, they did their homework. Following along the route we picked, the games made it fun to figure out the right answer to be able to venture on. This app makes for a great Saturday afternoon date with your special someone.
Was fun until we realized that the Mont Saint Michelle one is partly outdated, and not completeable due to constructions. It must be hard to keep up with changes in the real world, but it would be nice to have a creation/verified date for each quest.
The good: A very nice app with options to spend time in new unique ways, kids included. It has so many cities covered, that I'm taking into account their stories for my citybreaks. The not-so-good: I found one of the clues gone missing as the building was demolished - someone should review the clues from time to time and redefine the instructions not simply change the word that fits.
I had a lot of fun so far. Sometimes I felt like an idiot trying to figure out the challenges but at least these make tours interesting. It seems like the prices on the app are more expensive than the website so keep in mind cause I think the website prices are more justified
A fun and interactive way to discover a new city or even your own city. Easy to follow and an appropriate length without being too long. The information is interesting and I learned new things about an area I had been to many times before.
Fantastic day out and we really had a great time answering the questions by using the clues and gives you an interesting knowledge of a part of London which I wouldn't have known other wise. A great family game and would highly recommend it especially if you want to know more about the city you live in or even just visiting as a tourist. So Questo Trip Game keep up the great work and we will definitely do this again.
This is the greatest way to spend the day - playing one of their games - whether you're a local or a tourist. Would have never expected to learn so many new things about the city I live in, and the stories in the quests are so immersive and captivating! Great activity for a date too!
I've completed two quests on here so far and they were both really good! There were lots of twists, turns and interesting facts along the way. Highly recommended, especially if you're doing short stays/pitstops on a big trip.
One of my favourite new travel discoveries! Great COVID-proof way of learning about a new city, and even the cities you already think you know about. I've done about 5 quests in 3 cities at this point and would highly recommend it. Great concept and easy to use app!
It is a good app and easy to use. Questo having lot of games in many countries and they are fun and informative. We have played few of them so far and they are really good. 🙂 Whenever I needed help the customer service answered immediately and sorted out my problem quickly. Thank you
The app is super easy to use and convenient. It seamlessly guides you along your route. The activity itself is a lot of fun; we did a Greenwich Village game and learned a lot of trivia.
Great fun. It took much longer than 1.5 hours. There was one place I got totally lost (as the directions were not very clear) for nearly and hour. Being able to go back a step would be great so one could correct a directional error. By the time I found my way out of the maze of back streets I was tired and cold so I couldn't finished the game. But I did have a great time. I saw cool places and got interesting information. While playing I saw 3 other people playing too. Great little app.
