It started off well and was interesting. However, when you reach the cathedral the instructions are not clear enough and you lose internet connectivity. Also, the route took me through Norwich School which was a prohibited route. The groundsman jokingly said that this happens all the time. Please fix the routes for the next customer. I loved the historical knowledge however.

Loved doing this. Fun way to explore the highlights of the city. Enjoyed learning the history too. Would recommend

LondonAppDev

I was pleasantly surprised. Make sure you set the app up and download the files before you leave, but it was overall a great experience. If you're in a group, it's a good idea to have someone who's comfortable reading out all the information.

Confusing at parts. My partner’s app also stopped working so we’d wasted £6 on that. Overall, an okay game. Enjoyed seeing the sights, but use Google maps as Apple Maps let us down a lot - took much longer to find places at it took us the wrong way!

samspurple o

Fun and easy to follow. Good instructions with the option to follow the map (using GPS). The questions weren't so hard you give up either! A great way to see a city. This one was our local city where we've been shopping a million times but this took us to places we didn't know existed. We will definitely do other places

Richard H

A fun and easy way to explore the sites of Norwich, with instructions which were easy to follow. We were a group of 8, but only paid for one download, which worked fine.

EssexQuest

I did this Questo during a weekend in Norwich, after I enjoyed the one in Colchester earlier this year. We learnt so much about the Strangers, but also about Norwich and walked along some lovely streets too.
