“This was such a terrific was to see a different side of Rome. The quest took us slightly off the beaten track and it was fantastic. We decided to make a day of it and thought that racing across the city trying to post the fastest time was such a waste. We stopped for lunch at a lovely 'family run' restaurant along the way which was why one part of our quest took over 2 hours!!! It was the first time I had tried one of these app led encounters and now it will be the first thing I look for wherever I go next. The only downside was that…”
