How better to get to know all about a place than this. Jam packed with information. Totally enthralling and professionally put together. The geographically challenged amongst us can rest assured because there are pictures of directions, finding your way around is such a doddle. My wife and I paused our ‘quest’ and stopped for refreshments and cake. The kids will absolutely love it, it is safe and great fun, plus not a great deal of walking. There are super riddles to solve just to make sure you are paying attention to your surroundings. We are hooked and have already booked our next day out on Questo

A lovely way to explore the city and its links to the past. The Roman connections are fascinating especially as so much time has passed. Sharing the adventure with family or friends is an excellent way to spend a lovely day. The quiz element of the game makes it fun to see who can get it right first and if you go wrong as we did, then retracing your steps becomes a challenge, all in all a different and fun filled day.

Really good fun activity. The creator made it interesting and informative, so is good for either couples or families alike. You really wanted to finish the activity which took you to lots of different parts of the town. Hopefully this creator will create further activities.
