I did not start the quest as after finding the start point (which is not in the centre of town), the first clue is then a 15 minute walk away. Immediately I felt fed up! And children unhappy
The starting point is communicated clearly when purchasing. You booking this knowing the starting point, but then leaving a 1 star rating is nonsense. We love our customers, and always put them first, but we don't appreciate people leaving poor reviews that affect our business because of their lack of attention.
Really great way to explore; fun story with great facts on Belgium and Brussels included too. Some of the clues were a little easy but otherwise superb. Would recommend and will be doing more!
Thank you for the great feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed exploring Brussels and learning about its comic heritage through the quest. We appreciate your note on clue difficulty and will keep it in mind. Looking forward to having you join more adventures soon!
Fun quest with children looking for frescoes. We would have preferred a little more detailed beginning of the story to better fit in.
Merci pour votre retour. Nous sommes heureux que vous ayez apprécié la balade et prenons note de votre remarque afin d’améliorer l’introduction de l’histoire.
I absolutely loved how they made self guided walking tours a game! There were clues I had to solve and one of the quests had a story line where I had to return all the comic book dogs to their murals whilst walking around the city. It was awesome. I wish I had time to do more.
It’s wonderful to hear that you loved the interactive experience of exploring the city! The quest you described sounds incredibly fun. We appreciate your enthusiasm and wish you had more time for additional adventures. We look forward to having you back for more exciting quests in the future!
Walked around a lot and stopped quite often. Easy enough to follow. It’s nice as I walked in mainly peaceful areas. Would highly recommend if you don’t have much planned
Thank you for your review! It's great to hear that you enjoyed a peaceful walk through the area and found the route easy to follow. I'm glad it provided a nice way to explore at a relaxed pace. If you're ever looking for another pleasant outing, we'd love to have you join us again!
The route was well done, the history interesting and we discovered places that we did not know. The only criticism is that the stopping points were for some a little too imprecise, hence having to go back and forth until finding the right place. Otherwise, my 12 year old granddaughter was very interested.
Glad you enjoyed the well-laid-out route and intriguing story! We appreciate your feedback about some stopping points being imprecise, please reach out to us at care@questoapp.com so we may address them.

It's a fun way to discover beautiful places in Brussels! I went alone and it wasn't boring at all, though you may have more fun if you go with friends. I absolutely recommend it!

Nice walk around town ! Cheap way of sightseeing and exploring the city in an interesting way. Fun for a family time with children too ! The climax, the final riddle, was a little disappointing (boring), but overall a great experience.
