What To Expect
The exploration game is available in English, German and Romanian. You will pass through a gorgeous passage which hosts exotic shops and a luxury hotel. A hundred years ago, the entire place was used as a 'shopping mall for the aristocrats'. Each clue will lead you from one place to another, giving you exact directions so you won't need a map, a GPS or a guide. When you solve the clues and guess the answer, the secret story of that place is unlocked. Start and stop whenever you want. The tour will take you from 1.5 to complete, but there’s no time limit so you can finish it at your own pace. After you buy the quest, an access code will be delivered to you by mail. Go to the starting point and be ready to begin the adventure...Ready?

Great chance to explore

5.00The tour was great fun, we got to see and learn about a lot of really interesting parts of Bucharest. Booking through TripAdvisor was complicated, just use the Questo app, it's a lot more straightforward
Great way to get to know the city!

5.00I did the quest alone and really enjoyed it! The tasks were quite easy but still made me think — a great balance. I’d say the difficulty level is just right for most people. It was interesting, exciting, and definitely worth trying. Highly recommend!
Fun way to explore Bucharest with friends

5.00I did this quest with my boyfriend and another couple, and honestly, it was such a fun experience. It took us around the center of Bucharest and made us look at familiar places in a new way. The clues were interesting, some even made us think a bit, but nothing too hard. We had done another quest on this app before and really enjoyed it, so we thought we'd try it again and bring our friends along this time. The app is super easy to use and the quests are really well put together. Definitely a cool way to explore a city, especially if you're into walking and solving little challenges along the way.
The App doesn´t work :-(...

1.00The App doesn´t work :-( So we pay the Taxi to get there for nothing. The support was also not helpful. In the end it was waste of time and energy :-(

5.00The game was fun and we could take our time between clues to take pictures of the places we visited. We also learned a lot about the history.
Flexible fun alternative

4.00It was a fun alternative to the standard walking tour. We liked that we were in control of timings and could start/stop when it suited us. Generally the answers were very easy but one we didn't understand the answer even once we knew it! I would recommend this activity and would have liked it to have covered the main sights in bucharest rather than just old town!
A Walking Tour around the Old Town

5.00We found the walking tour both informative and entertaining. A splendid way to explore the hidden parts of the Old Town and it keeps you out of the bars and kebab shops for a while.
