We did the Broadway/Times Square tour. It was a great way to get to know the city better, for natives and visitors, and this self-guided walking tour appealed to our whole group which included adults, teens and tweens. The clues were not so difficult that it became work but not so obviously easy that it became a boring tourist attraction,... More

Our family of six just recently did the 5th Ave hunt and it was truly amazing. We gained knowledge of things we never knew and went into places that we would never have gone into. Highly recommended for some fun quality family time.

This was a great way to explore the city I've lived in all my life! It was worth the money, it took my friends and I a full 5 or 6 hours (we did it very leisurely with breaks). I was exhausted by the end of the day with a camera full of awesome pictures and an unforgettable experience. Will... More

I have so far checked out one of the NYC and one of the Boston hunts and both were amazing! Whether in a couple, or in a group, this was a fantastic way to check out a city without looking too tourist-y (a thing I can't stand.) Whenever I was stuck on where to turn next, I found that any... More

We did the Stray Boots Wall St. area walking tour. There were 2 of us in our 50s & 2 in their 20s, & everyone learned something & had a lot of fun. You get clues via text on a cell phone. One phone died in the middle & we easily switched to another one. It was an unusual way... More

Great fun, go at your own pace, focus on a manageable size portion of the vast New York City! Totally affordable and quite educational, too, if you want it to be. We had a great time and felt like we'd been productive (instead of the normal, "let's meet up for dinner or drinks!"). Highly recommend it to all.

We did the Stray Boots scavenger hunt for the Rockefeller Center/GCT area. We're both New Yorkers, but we visited some places we'd never been until that day. It was a really fun way to pass an afternoon, and we're going to do another one soon. Highly recommend!

I did this tour solo...it would have been BETTER with someone else with me but was interesting nonetheless. It's an awesome way to see the city and I was able to see things I hadn't before. I travel to the city a LOT but have never gone as a tourist. This is an AWESOME way for anyone - native or... More

I read about this online and thought that it would be an easy way to see the holiday sights in Manhattan. I cant wait to experience this in other cities. The scavenger hunt was really easy. I did it via text messaging even though I have an iPhone and it was responsive, informative, innovative and exciting for us to find... More

Keeps kids entertained and is something really good to do for those who have never been to NYC. I hope they change the way they do their questions though, for the holiday version there were some questions I could not answer because the place in which the answer was was way too crowded to get into and that brought down...
