RIP off. Don’t bother. Needs 2 apps and didn’t work for me!!!

Epic fail. Could not access the tour which requires 2 apps, Vistor and Questo. I was standing in the cold trying to get technical support. Was sent round in circles between Questo and Viator. System required my email to access my purchase and refused to let me access my purchase. It should just work! Requested charge back from my credit card

Operator response

That sounds incredibly frustrating and we’re sorry for the trouble. Accessing the game should be smooth and we’ll look into what went wrong. If you’re open to sharing more details, please reach out to us at care@questoapp.com—we want to make this right.

Learn about former Cambridge academics.

Great fun and an interesting and interactive way to enjoy the city. It was helped by good weather on the day we visited but nevertheless, we feel it would have been manageable otherwise.

Questo App City Exploration Game: An Exciting Adventure Full of Learning Opportunities

Questo App City Exploration Game is a fun and interactive game that allows you to explore new places in a unique and exciting way. As you play the game, you will feel like you are in an action-packed movie, navigating your way through different challenges and discovering interesting facts about the places you visit. One of the great things about this app is that it is very interactive. You get to visit different locations and interact with the environment in a way that feels natural and engaging. In addition, you will learn a lot about each location as you explore, which is great for anyone who loves to learn about new places. Another key feature of the Questo App City Exploration Game is the challenges that you need to pass in order to progress through the game. Each challenge is a new place to visit, and you gain points if you successfully complete the challenge. To pass the challenges, you need to answer questions correctly, which is a great way to test your knowledge and keep the game engaging. While there are some minor drawbacks to the app, such as the fact that some of the questions are free-text based and can be difficult to answer, overall this is a great app for anyone who loves adventure and learning. With a few minor improvements, such as the addition of pictures to the question pages, the Questo App City Exploration Game could become even more engaging and immersive. Pros: The app is very interactive and allows you to feel like you are exploring new places in a fun and engaging way. You will learn a lot about each location as you explore, which is great for anyone who loves to learn about new places. The challenges are a great way to keep the game engaging, and you gain points for successfully completing them. Each challenge is a new place to visit, which adds to the sense of adventure and exploration. Cons: Some of the questions are free-text based and can be difficult to answer, which can be frustrating for some players. The addition of other entry options, such as dropdown or multichoice, could make the questions easier to answer. Pictures that define the game scenario could be added to the question pages to increase the interactivity and make the game more immersive. It would be great if users could include their own photos for each location as private memories.

Operator response

Thank you very much for this detailed review, and also for your feedback and suggestions. We'll definitely take them into account. Hope to see you playing more games soon.

Awesome travel and destination

I enjoyed the feeling of travelling and learning so many things without literally leaving my home. I wish I was at least as creative as the person who wrote this story proved to be :)
