the question about boar was confusing as it is clear which part is the most shining but just the use of english vocabulary was not clear (we tried nose and sniff)

Florence Hidden Gems: The Kidnapper is on the loose in Florence.

This was a fun way to explore the city. We were able to walk through little Vias that we never would have experienced. Fun facts and great way to see the city.

Frequently asked questions

How do self-guided walking tours in Florence work?
Download the Questo app, pick a walking tour in Florence, and start walking. The app guides you with GPS to each stop, where you solve a clue or puzzle before moving on. Most tours take 60-120 minutes. No booking needed, start anytime.
How many walking tours are available in Florence?

Do I need to book a walking tour in Florence in advance?
No, Questo walking tours are self-guided and available anytime. There is no booking, no fixed time, and no guide to meet. Just open the app when you are ready and start exploring Florence at your own pace.
What makes these quests in Florence more fun than a regular walking tour?

Because you're not just watching—you’re part of a story. You’ll wander past the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, Uffizi—all while following clues, solving puzzles, and uncovering secrets nobody mentions in guidebooks.

What’s a romantic thing to do in Florence if I’m here with my partner?

Try Saving Michelangelo: The Florence Mission or a mystery quest around sunset. Stroll through Piazza della Signoria, cross Ponte Vecchio, get golden-light views from Piazzale Michelangelo—plus puzzles to share.

Is Florence good for families and kids with these quests?

Definitely for families with older kids who like solving things and listening to stories. Some quests are lighter and playful, with ghost tales or kid-friendly mysteries. If small kids are along, pick a route that has breaks and interesting visuals.

Is it safe and easy to walk these quests?

Yup. Most routes go through well-populated, popular parts of the city—old town, piazzas, main streets. Some stairs or steeper streets in the hills (like around Oltrarno or up to Piazzale Michelangelo), so comfy shoes help.

Can I do these quests solo, or are they better with friends?

Both work. Solo means you go at your own speed, soak up moments quietly; with friends or a partner you get to solve together, laugh, argue over the clues—makes it more social.

Do I need to reserve in advance or meet someone?

No need. These are self-guided games. Just choose one, go to the starting point (usually a landmark), and you can begin when it suits you.

Walk through Florence with Questo's self-guided walking tours. Follow app-guided clues from the Duomo across the Ponte Vecchio and into the artisan workshops of the Oltrarno. Medici intrigue, Renaissance masterpieces, and quiet piazzas beyond the crowds, explore the city at your own pace, no guide needed.

About Florence

In Florence, Questo turns a walk through Italy into a self-guided city game. Pick one of 8 active Questo quests, follow clues on your phone, solve puzzles, and unlock a story as you move from stop to stop. There is no guide to meet and no fixed start time, so you can begin when the day works for you. Florence works well for travelers who want more than a checklist of sights. Each quest gives you a route, a reason to look closer, and small challenges that make the city feel interactive. Use the game as a playful way to plan time around local places such as Piazza Santo Spirito Florence, Gelateria Perche No Florence, and Piazza Del Duomo. It suits couples, families, groups of friends, and solo explorers who like flexible outdoor activities. Choose a focused set of city games, pause whenever you want, and turn time in Florence into a walk with a plot.
