Questo's walking routes thread through Dam Square, the photogenic canal bridges, the Jordaan's quiet side streets, and past the Anne Frank House. Four kilometers of flat walking through one of Europe's most layered cities.

This provided us a fun and instructive way to tour parts of the city we would not have found on our own. It also gave us some fun historic facts. the tour was 100% flexible which we really liked. Thank you! We highly recommend this!

This was fun! I thought I knew Amsterdam like the back of my hand, but this app proved me wrong in the best way possible. It turns exploring into an adventure, making even familiar streets feel fresh and exciting! Whether you’re a lifelong Amsterdammer or a curious tourist, this is a must-try experience. Highly recommended!

Story was so random - the woman just loves her logs! But overall a really fun and silly way to walk around central Amsterdam with 3 adults on a Monday afternoon! would love if jt happened to include food recs as well for stops throughout!

it was the best Questo I’ve done so far! The only difficulty was that the Wagg is under construction so the clue was covered but we figured it out by looking at old pictures of the building.
