Traveler reviews

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.
Response from the operator: 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.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind review. We’re glad you enjoyed the romantic puzzle adventure and that it helped you discover parts of Pisa you might have missed. It’s great to hear you found the route well planned and a good value. We hope you’ll join us on another quest soon.

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!
Response from the operator: Thanks a bunch for sharing your experience! It sounds like you had a blast exploring Pisa with the app. Glad to hear you enjoyed the route and found some cool spots you might've missed otherwise. Can't wait to see where your next Questo adventure takes you!

Nice adventurous walk through Pisa
The part where we found more infos about the objectives - recommend to do it at evening (the lighting is much more romantic)
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback and the helpful tip about doing the part with more information about the objectives in the evening for a more romantic atmosphere. We appreciate your suggestion, and we hope you had an enjoyable experience exploring with Questo.

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.
Response from the operator: 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. It's fantastic that you also learned about the city's history during the adventure. If you ever find yourself in another city, don't hesitate to try out one of our activities; there's always more to explore and learn. Happy adventuring! 🏛️🗺️🌟

Pisa Romantic Quest: Solve the Curse of Rosa: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Pisa.
How much does Pisa Romantic Quest: Solve the Curse of Rosa 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 Pisa usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Pisa Romantic Quest: Solve the Curse of Rosa take?
+
Plan for about 0.6 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 Pisa is not rushed.
Is Pisa Romantic Quest: Solve the Curse of Rosa worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Pisa, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Pisa Romantic Quest: Solve the Curse of Rosa?
+
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 Pisa Romantic Quest: Solve the Curse of Rosa suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Pisa Romantic Quest: Solve the Curse of Rosa?
+
Around 2 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 Pisa 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 Pisa and add a light layer if any part of the 0.6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Pisa Romantic Quest: Solve the Curse of Rosa 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 Pisa 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 Pisa?
+
On Outty we rank every Pisa experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pisa’s Ultimate Food Tour: Full Tuscan Meal by Do Eat Better, Pisa: Beyond the Tower (1h round-trip tour), Pisa: Self-Guided Bike Tour to the Sea. 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 Pisa?
+
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 Pisa?
+
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.
