Response from the operator: Thanks for the heads-up! Having a solid internet connection definitely ensures the smoothest experience while playing. I hope you still managed to enjoy uncovering the secrets of the Medici family, and we hope to see you on another quest soon! Thanks, Alex – Founder of Questo

Fun activity
Lots of fun with this activity. Locations could be slightly more accurate and unable to get to one location. A great way to see the city and learn some history.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the feedback! We're glad you had fun and appreciate the note on location accuracy—it's something we're working to improve.

FInd a guided tour instead
I traveled with a friend that was interested in the history of the Medici family, so I thought this app would be the perfect way to explore without being in a tour guide. We both followed all of the instructions for downloading the app and the game prior to arriving in Florence. The app says that once it's downloaded, it can be used offline. This proved to not be the case, since my friend did not have have data on her phone, and could not use the game at all, despite it being downloaded and ready to go before arrival. We wound up just using mine, which kind of defeated the "game" element of it. Several of the locations that we sent to were inaccurate with the GPS and did not put us where the clue was, one clue was rubbed off the plaque that it was on and was not readable, several of the spots where the clues were supposed to be were inaccessible due to either construction and scaffolding. We gave up altogether at probably the halfway point and did not complete the entire experience. I'm sad to say it was a waste of our time and money. I wouldn't use it again.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience, and we're truly sorry to hear about the challenges you encountered. We strive to provide seamless experiences, and it's disappointing to learn that you faced issues with offline functionality and GPS accuracy. Your feedback is invaluable, and we'd like to address this matter. Please reach out to us directly at care@questoapp.com so we can further assist you and make things right. We appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to exceed your expectations in the future.

Not family fun
This turned out to be a bad fit for my family. I have two teenagers who preferred this idea to a traditional city orientation tour with a guide. This sounded like it would be a great alternative, but instead it was just frustrating. The information you unlock along the way was not for beginner level visitors, it assumed you already knew something about the Medici family and their place in the history of Florence. The clues were sometimes very hard with unclear directions. One was even totally covered by new scaffolding. It was too hot and sunny, and we all got cranky trying to figure things out. It might be a good fit for my husband and I to have done alone on a cloudy day in the autumn, but I still wouldn't put this at the top of your list.
Response from the operator: We would like to apologize for your negative experience. Thank you for letting us know about your concern. Rest assured we will take a look at this. Our goal is the total satisfaction of our customers and to provide a positive experience Hope to see you giving it a try playing one of our games in the future.

Big Yes
Great story and riddles. It's perfect way for sightseeing, allowed us to visit both tourist main attractions and some "undiscovered" places.
Response from the operator: Thank you for exploring Florence with Questo. We appreciate your feedback, and would love to see you playing more games soon.

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Medici Secrets & Mysteries: Interactive Walking Tour Game: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Medici Secrets & Mysteries: Interactive Walking Tour Game cost?
+
Prices start at $8 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Florence usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Medici Secrets & Mysteries: Interactive Walking Tour Game take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Florence is not rushed.
Is Medici Secrets & Mysteries: Interactive Walking Tour Game worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 38 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Medici Secrets & Mysteries: Interactive Walking Tour Game?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Medici Secrets & Mysteries: Interactive Walking Tour Game suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Medici Secrets & Mysteries: Interactive Walking Tour Game?
+
Around 13 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Florence can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Florence and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Medici Secrets & Mysteries: Interactive Walking Tour Game start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Florence within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Florence?
+
On Outty we rank every Florence experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best tour in Florence: Renaissance & Medici Tales - guided by a STORYTELLER, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class & Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Florence?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Florence?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
