5.00Cool little challenge to help you explore central Oslo. Game took us a few hours but we did lots of side trips which extended it by half at least. Great value for money.

5.00Excellent activity! We were on two tours around Oslo, walking and on bus, walked around ourselves. This Questo activity took us across all places we've already knew and then to some we did not find previously. The best time spending before leaving the city.
Fun activity

4.00One of the instructions for the next spot was probably wrong or at best very unclear. Otherwise a fun way to get to know the city and its history. The riddles aren't very challenging.
Neat way to explore the city!

5.00It really is a nice way to get to know the city in your own pace and see/read some things a normal tour bus wouldn't show/tell you.
Some historical sites, and in general a nice city

3.00Some historical sites, and in general a nice city in general, but there are plenty of more interesting places to visit in Norway. Construction work and the never ending maintenance of roads in the high season ( summer time ) isnt a thumbs up for tourists. Also experiencing a lot of NGO beggars in the street, which is more than annoying when they are as aggressive as Red Cross or Flyktninghjelpen.
Exciting App

5.00We enjoyed the Questo App as it took us around Oslo. Learning the history was exciting, Some directions were a little off but we were able to find our way. I wish there was a way to download the transcript to review the history at a later time and help the little ones remember what we learned.
Great App!
