Armed with clues in the Questo app, decode tags, solve visual puzzles, and piece together a story that unfolds on the walls around you.

The route covers 2.2 km through Stokes Croft, The Lanes, and Park Street. Best in daylight when the colours pop. Start anytime, pause whenever you like, and play at your own pace. Perfect for couples and art lovers. Download the Questo app, enter your booking code, and head to Bell Lane to begin.

Born in Los Angeles and self-trained, El Mac has become a quoted street artist, getting commissions to paint murals all over the world. ‘Clothed with the Sun’ represents El Mac’s girlfriend holding a baby in his characteristic photorealistic style. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.
Painted by the young Spanish artist Aryz when invited to attend the See No Evil festival in Bristol, it covers the side of a 5-floors building. Aryz is said to have finished it in only… one and half day. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.
Robots and Sci-Fi creatures are what makes Pixel Pancho paintings unique and very easy to recognise. His mythological mechanical bird has become one of the landmarks in Bristol. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.
Another story behind the image is that Banksy was portraying his former agent and art dealer, who apparently stole Banksy's art work for his own profit. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.

Save your money. Great idea. Terrible execution. I’d have gladly paid double for a simple map and descriptions of the art. Instead, first we had to navigate an activation process that was nigh on impossible. After about 20 minutes of downloading apps and receiving emails and codes, we followed some questionable directions to see some art, which was great, but was overshadowed by the ridiculous story which just gets in the way. All in all. Save your money and just go for a walk round the city.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear about the difficulties you experienced with the activation process and that the format of the game didn’t meet your expectations. We’ll review the onboarding steps to make them as simple and smooth as possible. We also appreciate your comments about the storyline and directions, and will take them into account as we improve the experience. While we regret that this tour wasn’t the right fit for you, we do hope you were still able to enjoy Bristol’s incredible street art.
Fab experience nice to do something different not recommended if you have wheelchair or pushchair. Lovely to see all the art work and seeing where it will take you next and following story
Thank you so much for your kind words. We're really glad you enjoyed the experience and found it a fun and different way to discover Bristol's street art and Banksy's story. We appreciate your feedback regarding accessibility and will make sure to highlight this more clearly for future players. Thanks again for joining the adventure, and we hope to see you on another quest soon.
The clues were very varied from too easy to musleading. We wanted more information and less game. We gave up about halfway through thinking we might return after a meal - but weren’t sufficiently motivated and went home.
Thanks for your feedback — we’re sorry to hear this quest didn’t meet your expectations. Just so you know, our quests come in different styles and difficulty levels — some are more game-focused, others are more story- or info-driven. No two quests are the same, and we’re confident there’s one that matches exactly what you’re looking for. We’d love to see you give Questo another try — and if you let us know what kind of experience you prefer, we’d be happy to recommend the perfect quest for your next outing!
Good to see a Banksy. Easy to find, protected by fencing. Will start to go see some more now. In an industrial estate on the harbourside.
Thank you for your feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed spotting a Banksy artwork. It's always exciting to uncover hidden gems, especially in unique settings like an industrial estate by the harbor. If you ever feel inspired to explore more street art or delve into other artistic experiences, we hope to be part of your journey again soon!
The App and the instructions were far too complicated. Involved changing screens all the time. I was looking for a self guided walk taking myself and 4 friends around a route to look at “Banksy Art”. - which is what was described after all! But this appears to be some sort of competitive quiz game, v irritating! There were other murals nothing to do with Banksy either, some that could have been mentioned as well, to help confirm I was walking in the expected direction. 3 of us downloaded the app but they also felt confused and disappointed as well and that’s when we agreed to abandoned the walk. A waste of money as we then did our own walk around Bristol together, as 2 of us know Bristol reasonably well. Luckily it was lovely weather.
We understand your frustration and we are really sorry to hear that the experience didn’t meet your expectations. It sounds like you were hoping for a straightforward self-guided walk focused on Banksy art, but ended up feeling confused by the app’s instructions. That must have been quite disappointing, especially since you had your friends with you. We always strive to provide clear guidance and an enjoyable experience, so your feedback is valuable. If you're open to it, we’d love to assist you further. Please feel free to reach out to our Customer Support Team via chat, available 24/7, or email us at care@questoapp.com. We want to make sure you have a better experience in the future!
Difficult to navigate the start. Ended up using a different tour application after paying for this one.

There WAS NO EXPERIENCE. We found no trace of a tour or anyone that knew anything at all about it. Very disappointed and I’d like a refund of my full charges.

Great time was had! It was fun and engaging- really love this type of thing! Brilliant activity!!! Great
We're thrilled to hear you had such a great time! It's wonderful to know you found the activity fun and engaging. Thank you for your enthusiastic feedback!
We had such fun exploring the city by following the street art trail. Took a little while to find the start, but then instructions were clear and easy to follow. Lots of hills and steps so pretty hard work!
Sounds like you had an adventurous time exploring the street art trail! We're glad to hear that despite the initial challenge of finding the start, the instructions were clear and easy to follow. Exploring hilly areas can definitely be a workout, but it sounds like it was worth it for the fun experience! Can't wait to welcome you back!
Unable to skip without paying more in app currency. We were stuck about 5 questions in and had to abandon as we were not able to skip
That does not sound right, you are not required to pay anything extra! Please reach out to us at care@questoapp.com so we may resolve this for you. Looking forward to helping you.
