A fun way to get in some steps and learn more about the city. I will be doing more of these in different cities. Nice way to spend a couple of hours.
A good site to book guesthouses and tourists places, very easy to operate in terms of choosing your choice
Get to see interesting sites in the city and have an interesting anecdote or story associated with the location. You can go at your own pace or try to achieve a timed goal.
A big shout-out to the hard work of Eric Santos at the Toronto airport who took our delayed flight and missing luggage as a personal quest and got us completely fixed up in record time. It is not often a delayed flight and lost baggage will merit an 'attaboy', but in this case, his caring attitude and prompt service in resolving our issues were greatly appreciated.
Very fun experience with my wife, going around the city to find clues is really enjoyable. We were also able to pause to get food
My husband and I did this as a way to travel around and sight see. Had we not we would have missed so much of the history in Toronto.
It was a great thing to do and we learned a lot about the darker but very interesting history of old Toronto. The Storyline was great, as was the places of interest it took you to. Would recommend to residents and visitors
Fun story and a fantastic to get out and walk the city and learn some interesting history along the way.
This was such a great surprise. I love walking around a city and this just made my experience 10x better. I cannot recommend Questo enough and will definitely use it every time i travel abroad!
What a great way to visit Toronto! I loved the seek and find aspect of this app and especially going at our own pace!
We usually have a hard time finding things to do in Toronto any more. You can only see dinosaur bones and mummies at the ROM so many times. Once you've visited the AGO, Ripley's Aquarium and the CN tower, what's next? We found our Quest tour to be a breath of fresh air, breathing life into tired landmarks we've walked past many times. The convenience of the self-guided tour at your own pace made it fun for even two active septuagenarians like us. It was a great value and also led us to a great restaurant we passed during our journey. Well done Questo! The text was well written and were we 50 years younger we may have had the enthusiasm to act it out as well.
Very funny, i liked to know more about Toronto history while playing. Because of the game I went to places that doesnt appears on common websites for visiting, as King Hotel and The Pasture.
Great way to get to know a city and it’s unknown past to most visitors. A must do on anyones visit itinerary.
A fun adventure game where you travel around the city trying to solve clues about historical sites. Great for couples or a small group of friends.
très belle expérience pour explorer la ville et apprendre des choses. Tout en prenant notre temps ! Nous le recommandons à tous!
