Fun but occasionally confusing

This is fun and a really brilliant idea. Got lost a few times as the directions to the next place aren’t always clear. It would be better to get an address of the next place so you can put it in your preferred map app and not get lost in an unfamiliar city. Overall fun and a good way to explore! Worth the cost!

Operator response

Thanks for the great feedback! I'm thrilled to hear you found it fun and a brilliant way to explore Oslo, even if the directions got a bit confusing at times. I really appreciate the suggestion about providing addresses for back-up navigation, and I'll share this with the team to see how we can improve. Hope to see you on another quest soon! Thanks, Alex – Founder of Questo

Cool little challenge to help you explore central Oslo

Cool little challenge to help you explore central Oslo. Game took us a few hours but we did lots of side trips which extended it by half at least. Great value for money.

Operator response

Thank you for the great feedback! We're happy to hear you enjoyed the challenge and took the time to explore Oslo beyond the main route. That’s exactly the kind of adventure we hope to inspire. Glad you found it great value—we’d love to have you join us again in another city!

Oslo in June 2025

Excellent activity! We were on two tours around Oslo, walking and on bus, walked around ourselves. This Questo activity took us across all places we've already knew and then to some we did not find previously. The best time spending before leaving the city.

Operator response

Thank you for your great review! We're glad the Viking Quest added something new to your Oslo visit, even after your other tours. It’s wonderful to hear it was a memorable way to wrap up your trip. Safe travels and hope to see you on another quest soon!

Fun activity

One of the instructions for the next spot was probably wrong or at best very unclear. Otherwise a fun way to get to know the city and its history. The riddles aren't very challenging.

Operator response

Thanks for the review! Sorry to hear about the confusion, if you would like please send us an email at care@questoapp.com with more details so we can investigate. Still, we're glad you had fun exploring the city and learning its history. Your feedback will help us make the experience even better. Happy exploring!
