Description

Pisa, 1501. Banished from your homeland, you and your twin sister Rosa were sent to this city of quiet beauty and hidden resistance. While you sought peace, Rosa chose rebellion — and when the French caught her, they didn't imprison her. They cursed her. Now Rosa fades with each passing day. Using the free Questo app, follow clues through 10 of Pisa's most atmospheric locations, solve coded puzzles, and uncover the truth behind the witch's curse — all at your own pace, no guide needed, ~50 minutes. The trail ends at the Leaning Tower itself, where the final revelation awaits. Woven through real Pisa history — the scandalous love life of Galileo, Dante Alighieri's unrequited obsession, and the secret power of the Medici — this self-guided romantic mystery is perfect for couples, friends, and curious travelers ready to see Pisa in a completely new way. Start anytime. The coven is waiting.

It was a fun way to...

It was a fun way to explore a new city even if the story was a little cheesy. I was annoyed because Viator made me buy 2 tickets for 2 people when we only needed one to do the experience.

Operator response

Thanks for the feedback! I am glad you found it a fun way to explore Pisa, even if the story was a bit cheesy. I am very sorry for the frustration with the booking process; you only need one ticket per device, so please email us at explore@questoapp.com so we can investigate this with Viator and offer you a free quest to make things right. Thanks, Alex – Founder of Questo

Fun and value for money

A bit of fun and a good way to see parts of the city that you might otherwise miss. Good value for money and the route was well put together.

Sounds great, was great.

You download the app then you enter the code and can start playing once you are at the starting point. Navigating instructions were clear (as much as they should be), app worked well. I think that for this price, you get what you deserve: captivating story, nice route through Pisa (we wouldn't go this way if it wasn't for the game), interesting information about some sights and riddles. You can go at your own pace without problems and also pause if you need, then you just get to the place were you stopped playing and continue. However, riddles were quite easy also, I would maybe like more historical information or so, but overall it was great and we enjoyed it very much. Definitely recommend!

Operator response

Great if you’re looking for something to do in Pisa

Aside from the Leaning Tower there didn’t appear to be too much else to do in Pisa, so this walking tour was a great way to explore some sights we would have missed otherwise! Learnt quite a bit about the history of the city.

Operator response

We're delighted to hear that our walking tour in Pisa helped you explore more than just the Leaning Tower and discover hidden sights you might have missed otherwise.

I really enjoy this type of sightseeing, it gives a good tour and story of the city and places you would never seek out without. The app gives you time to take a break whenever it fits you for a cold drink or a meal.
