Cavtat Exploration Game: 2,000 Years from Rome to Bukovac
Description
Walk through Cavtat's old town, a small Dalmatian coastal town just 18 km south of Dubrovnik, where two thousand years of history survive in stone, canvas, and silence. Set on the wooded Rat peninsula, Cavtat was once the Roman city of Epidaurum. Later it lived under the Republic of Dubrovnik, and later still it became the birthplace of Vlaho Bukovac, Croatia's most celebrated painter. This self-guided game connects all of it: ancient walls, a Rector's Palace, a small art gallery, a mausoleum that won the Grand Prix in Paris, a Franciscan monastery, and the house where a boy who sailed to New York came home and put paint on the walls. Nine stops, 1.3 km, about 75 minutes at your own pace. No guide, no group, just you, the Questo app, and a peninsula that has been carrying footsteps for a thousand years. The antidote to crowded Dubrovnik.

Love love loved doing this! Intend to how do this in other places. It have a purpose to wandering the streets - stopped my 8 tea R old moaning when I love looking up alleys and looking on the back streets Yes as there was a prose and clues to find! Would say was a bit tough for us in places as also carrying push chair up steep steps lol but we managed. It gave us history to nice buildings we wouldn’t have known without a tour guide or a specific book. It also wasn’t to long, under an hour for us and we then went as promised to our boy to swim in one of the many sea spots. We had fun doing this and we let our son click the clues and follow the ap on my phone, so worth it! Cavtat is a gorgeous town so every street seem quaint and scenic - preferred it to Dubrovnik tbh
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. We’re delighted you and your family enjoyed discovering Cavtat in such a fun and engaging way. Great job completing the clues (pushchair and all!) and we’re glad it added purpose and history to your walk. We’d love to have you join us for another quest in a different city soon.
Very nice game to spend time in Cavtat in a different way and discover its highlights. The duration is about an hour.
Grazie mille per la sua recensione. Siamo felici che il gioco le sia piaciuto e che abbia potuto scoprire Cavtat in un modo diverso e divertente. Speriamo di rivederla presto per una nuova avventura.
Challenging to download, thought we’d have to give up on it but once we got it going it was very enjoyable
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear you had some trouble getting started, but we’re very happy you enjoyed the experience once it got going. We appreciate you giving it a chance and hope to see you on another adventure soon!
We stopped to make time before we took the plane. Very cute little summer village, with marina and beach. Breakfast in a cafeteria and quite expensive.
Thank you for sharing your feedback! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the Questo game as a way to explore the summer resort town and its marina. It's great to know you found it engaging during your time before catching the plane. We appreciate your input and hope the game added to your overall experience!
Interesting but lack of explanation on every steps (actually, there is none). Either it aims to be a game, then question might be a little bit more elaborated, or it aims to be a trip advisor, then explanation on each steps would be more than welcome.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We're glad you found the experience interesting. We apologize for the absence of detailed guidance at each step. We appreciate your suggestion and will work on providing more comprehensive questions and information to enhance the overall experience. If you have any further suggestions or need assistance, please feel free to email us at care@questoapp.com. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve.
This self guided walking tour of Cavtat is great, the questions are simple enough to be answered by children, although as two adults we still enjoyed finding out about he local area. The only disappointment was that some of the plaques you needed to look at for the answeres had been taken down, but that meant you had to find other ways to discover the answer to the questions, so maybe that just adds to the experience. If anything, it would have been nice to have made it longer by taking the walk around the peninsula or making more of the harbour area. We really enjoyed it.
The route and the self guided tour was fantastic and informative, we visited places we may have not found otherwise. After we finished we stopped at the Vlaho Bukovac birth house for a visit, well worth!
Glad to hear you enjoyed the route and tour! It's always great when you discover new places along the way. Thanks for sharing your experience! Can't wait to welcome you back!
