We are a group of language students and we played the game with our teacher: a great and fun way to practise, and learn interesting stuff about our city that we didn't know.
Perfect with a group of A Level pupils. Loved it.
Quests for classes
A school day with Questo in Naples is spent on foot in the old centre around Via dei Tribunali and Via San Gregorio Armeno, the Spanish Quarter off Via Toledo, the market district by Piazza Mercato and the royal streets near Castel Nuovo. For Key Stage 2, Old Town Naples: The Story of Real Pizza starts at L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele and follows the city's historic pizzerias. In search of "Cazzimma" through Naples loops from Via San Gregorio Armeno past the Maradona mural and Toledo metro station. Older pupils can take Haunted Naples: The Alchemist Prince to Cappella Sansevero and Napoli Sotterranea. The quests cover ages 8 to 18.
