    About this experience

    Porto, 1942. You are Mário, a paperboy with a journalist's ambition and a city full of stories to find. Use the Questo app to walk Porto's Old Town across 10 real landmarks: São Bento Station, Rua das Flores, Prince Henry's monument by the Douro, the medieval Tower of Rua de Baixo, the Church of the Crickets, and Avenida dos Aliados. At each stop, solve a riddle or decode a hidden detail. Download the Questo app, activate your quest with the booking code, and start playing when you reach São Bento Station. Pause anytime, take photos, grab a coffee. You'll uncover stories most tourists miss: a 19th-century almond poisoning on Rua das Flores, the Siege of Porto that emptied the cathedral quarter, and Aristides de Sousa Mendes, the Portuguese diplomat who defied orders to save 30,000 Jews from Nazi-occupied France. Perfect for couples, friends, families with curious kids, and history-curious solo travellers. About 80 minutes, 3.1 km through Old Town Porto.

    I expected more

    It is a bit expensive for what it offers, the game combines very simple answers with other almost meaningless and unimaginative

    Response from the operator: Siento que la experiencia no haya cumplido tus expectativas y que los acertijos no te hayan convencido. Queremos entender mejor qué falló para mejorarlo. Por favor, escríbenos a explore@questoapp.com; nos encantaría ofrecerte una quest gratuita para que lo intentes de nuevo.

    Fun way to explore a city

    This game is a fun way to explore a city. There were some stops I would never find on my own (maybe with a guide), so it´s a nice city tour. The game makes it fun (a little competition with my sister). And you learn a little history about the city.

    Response from the operator: We're delighted to hear that you had a fun and enriching experience with our city exploration game! It's wonderful that you discovered hidden stops and enjoyed the element of competition. Learning about the city's history while playing is definitely a bonus. Thank you for sharing your positive feedback, and we hope you'll continue to enjoy our adventures in other places too!

    A good couple hours fun

    Fun interactive game that gave some purpose to wandering around the city! It’s not perfect and needs updating for recent changes but we had a good time regardless.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for sharing your experience. We are happy to see that you had a great time and rest assured we will continue to improve our games. Looking forward to seeing you playing another quest soon.

    Interesting way to see a city

    It was both challenging, educational and entertaining at the same time. It was reasonably long so we saw enough.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for the review Daniel. We are glad that you enjoyed the game in Porto. Hope to see you explore more games with us.

    Porto Old Town Quest: 1942 Paperboy Adventure: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Porto.

    How much does Porto Old Town Quest: 1942 Paperboy Adventure cost?

    +

    Prices start at $7 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Porto usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Porto Old Town Quest: 1942 Paperboy Adventure take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.3 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 Porto is not rushed.

    Is Porto Old Town Quest: 1942 Paperboy Adventure worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Porto, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Porto Old Town Quest: 1942 Paperboy Adventure?

    +

    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 Porto Old Town Quest: 1942 Paperboy Adventure suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Porto Old Town Quest: 1942 Paperboy Adventure?

    +

    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 Porto 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 Porto and add a light layer if any part of the 1.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Porto Old Town Quest: 1942 Paperboy Adventure 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 Porto 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 Porto?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Porto experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Unvanquished Tour in Porto City Center, Porto's #1 Walking Tour, Small Group Geres National Park Full Day with picnic from Porto. 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 Porto?

    +

    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 Porto?

    +

    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.
