5.00We thoroughly enjoyed this activity. We loved the stories and the history, but most of all enjoyed exploring this lovely city and discovering spots we would never have found on our own. We felt that it was excellent value for the money. We would recommend downloading the Questo app and setting up each account before starting the game, though.
Informative and enjoyable

5.00This was an enjoyable way to spend an active afternoon learning about local history. The audio tour felt like a well-produced radio play. The app was quite easy to use, though on two or three occasions I had trouble with the directions. Nonetheless, it was entertaining and informative.
A great adventure in Aalborg

5.00The Mystery Ghost tour was such a delight. It was the perfect way to experience Aalborg while learning some unique history. It even included some places relevant to our own family history. The games and puzzles added a fun challenge.
Discovery of Aalborg in fun.

5.00Beautiful city, educational adventure making it discover with simple puzzles through a well written and interesting history. We had a great time, thanks to this witch hunt and would certainly have missed a lot of beautiful buildings from the past and frescoes from the present without participating. History leads you through narrow streets and squares, where it is easy to find the ghosts of the past. We recommend it 100%!!!
Brilliant tour!

5.00Good stories and a strong narrative where you play the main role in a well-written role-playing game/story. The puzzles that were solved along the way were mostly easy and suited well to a casual playing style, which I think is the point of such a tour. I have tried other self-guided tours but found this one among the better ones.
Aalborg is haunted!

5.00As someone who doesn't know Aalborg, I thought this self-guided tour provided a fantastic tour of the city. The ghost stories were varied, with different kinds of horror, and based on the themes they touch on, I strongly assume that it was a good mix of both new and older ghost stories. It was great to hear about some of the local legends here in the city. This won't be the last time I try a Questo experience.
The stories make the place!

5.00This Questo experience deals with some of Aalborg's forgotten stories, which have been passed down by word of mouth. Stories marked by darkness, from a time when people believed in witches, ghosts and evil spirits. I received very good feedback when I went on a ghost/witch hunt with visitors in Aalborg, and I also think that it was a very successful experience. Personally, my favourite story is the one from the dungeons of Aalborghuus Castle, and I also like the stories tied to the "Our Lady church." It works well in daylight, but it is more atmospheric in the evening, making the stories a little more spooky. It is very well suited for a casual walk through Aalborg while getting some stories tied to the scenery. I wish you a scary trip!
