Nice walk in a quarter of London we probably would not have gotten to without this quest. 10 riddles, perfect lengh. Nevertheless, one was unsolvable as the app would just not accept the correct answer (and would then reveal exactly the answer we gave as the correct one). Would love to have a feature that would read all that text for you via iPods rather than reading pages and pages by yourself while strolling through a city

Whoever set this up apparently hasn’t done it in a very long time. Without giving hints away, the first clue had us looking for two Union Jack flags. They are no longer there, just an empty flagpole and one with a battered white flag that was probably a Union Jack at one time. After the second clue, we quit.
Nice canal ride seeing a part of London not as often visited. If you start the ride so you end in Camden Market, you can then walk around and have lunch. We had very good fish and chips at Poppies.
Really enjoyed this one ! Liked being able to break it and spend a good amount of time in the beautiful local garden centre !
just to put feed back that is cheating there is no canal tour. there is no tour operator at the post code provided
What an absolute pleasure this boat trip was. Staff were so knowledgeable from start to finish. It was a great trip and the best way to get from Camden to Paddington.
Lovely area to walk around. Found out some interesting facts & enjoyed the quest. Pretty route & good instructions. I liked the flexibility of starting and finishing in your own time.
The view was amazing. Went early in the morning. It wasnt crowded. So it was really nice to walk around and take in the sights.
A good experience. It gave you quite a bit of detail about Little Venice with you playing a game at the same time
We really enjoyed this experience and felt like it was worth every penny we spent. We saw some really unique parts of London we wouldn't have found without this particular game. It was well executed, the puzzles were fun and not punishing or too difficult. We will look to see if one of these is available in the future on our next trip to a city we are exploring.
What a great experience! My husband and I would have enjoyed Little Venice just walking around (it’s a beautiful area) but the Charming Little Venice Outdoor Escape Game added such a fun - and informative - twist to our afternoon there. We both totally got into it, discovered new places and learned so much, it truly was a highlight of our week in London!
Lovely walk finding hidden gems. Great adventure with clever clues. Well put together and produced. Will be back to this lovely area.
Came across this after looking for something unique to do in London. You can start your adventure at any time and you’re not held up by other groups or waiting for your turn. The story was rich and easy to get into with some places to visit that you’d otherwise walk past. The puzzles are not too difficult but instead encourage your exploration of the areas. Would highly recommend them. I have to contact their support team as had an issue with my email and they resolved that for me within minutes. Fantastic all round.
Even though the ending was very difficult, the construction of the entire puzzle kept the group members engaged and constantly challenged. To sum it up in two words, the whole game stimulated creativity and perseverance in us producing an unique and impactful experience.
Very much enjoyed this little adventure discovering interesting things and places that we would otherwise have passed by. The questions were simple enough for children but it was well-written with enough atmosphere to engage adults too. Would have been 5 stars but it could have been a little longer, and the directions in one place were unclear. (When you cross the canal for the first time make sure you then walk south east along the canal.)
We were visiting from out of town and having previously lived in London decided to try something different. Is it a quest, tour or walk. It's all of these. Our whole family found this an interesting way to explore this lovely part of London. Hope to do more similar tours in the future
The story is very inspiring and touching. Quite a few hidden gems for an area I already know well. I'd highly recommend.
The tour was more of a game, and it was all in our phones, which meant that if we had done it "correctly," we would have been standing around reading long passages awkwardly in front of homes, businesses and parks all throughout Little Venice. Some of the clues were easy to solve and fun to search for answers, some were either based on out-of-date information or too difficult for us, meaning we had to circumvent the game to go on to the next step. I would have greatly preferred an audio tour with a map on the phone to guide us from stop to stop in this delightful little part of London.
My wife and I had a stressful morning and the tour was suggested to ease the stress. How pleasant the trip was, so restful going down the canal with such a knowledgeable and informative Nikki making the trip so interesting. We will certainly recommend the tour to anyone wanting to spend a restful time on the water.
It's something good to do if you want to take a walk and see new aspects of the city. I lived in London for 8 years and I didn't know few things I've learnt today!
It was great, enjoyed the walk and exploring the area. Really pretty sceneries and very informative at the same time.
My friend and I had an amazing time playing this quest. We live in the area but there were still many gems we didn't know about! We also played it during a boat fair by chance, which made the experience more magical!
It was a fun and informative way to explore the area. We enjoyed it immensely and would highly recommend it.
Great way to spend an afternoon with kids, fun for all the famly! Following these quests gets you around London, seeing abnd learning so much you had never even notced.
Amazing walk around a part of London I had no idea even existed!! Well put together, easy to follow and loved having to solve the clues. I'll definitely do more of these. Highly recommended.
An interesting game through which you can discover London! I would do this tour again as I did with many other tours from this app.
I greatly enjoyed wandering around a previously unknown area of London. Everything is at your own pace and you can spend as much or as little time as you like in each section. I really enjoyed a Garden shop along the way, and had a leisurely tea at a shop just happened upon. I will do more Questo tours in the future. took tour in Nov. 2019.
Last year, I celebrated my birthday on a boat trip to Little Venice, so I thought I knew everything, and yet the area's charm lured me to go back again. I bought this tour for my birthday and it was really exciting embarking on an adventure which is entertaining and yet safe. I had to contact the Questo team to confirm my booking. Alex got back to me and I was nicely surprised by his amiable personality and eagerness to help. This curious quest with an intriguing plot allowed me and my mum to fully explore Little Venice. We found many new places and were able to look out for all small details which make the area enchanting. The tour is not about staring at your phone at all. Rather, it is about using your phone as a means to get to a destination - not virtually, but with your feet. For example, we walked eight and a half kilometers and it felt so refreshing. We only used a hint during the second task, because we could not locate the Real Ale's logo on its windows. Just to inform everyone, the questions you have to answer require a concentration on the present moment, a good orientation, and nothing which is scary and impossible! The storyline is well-written and inclusive, aiming at making the player feeling part of the magical atmosphere. What is more, the Questo tours are ideal in these dangerous times, as they do not require physical interaction, strict time schedule and being part of a group. They are perfectly modernised, combining technological benefits with actual, real-life exploration, which you can do even on your own, without feeling alone! I believe this is the future, and the Questo team puts great effort in the production and the visual storytelling. I will definitely explore London with Questo again!
Always nice to slide through the Regent Canal and contemplate the settlement and housing and gardens, and not least other canal boats. Think of the heavy work that took place here in the last century when this was an important transportation route, and even horses drove sailors and boats through. Suverenous to sit and observe....recommended
A good time to join Camdem Market. A nice break in the bustling London life. To do as a couple or family.
boat uncomfortable by the seats and want to bring in as many visitors as possible A few words in French would be welcome
