It was nice to have a self guided tour without a group or host...and clues were clear and when we needed hints they were helpful. But... The description said we could do anytime and while that was technically true, most of the places we visited were closed...it decreased the value of the trip bc we couldnt expand exploration of each stop ... ny library, magic shop, etc. In addition tour was supposed to be 90 approx time to complete but 2 hours in we were not even half way done...way too long. Would recommend with these revisions and would do again with these adjustments.

Absolutely fantastic experience and the story was immersive too! I learned so much about the main attractions in the midtown area that I would've otherwise not come across. Highly recommended if your time is limited or if you want to pretend you're a tourist in your hometown. You never know what new stuff you can learn!

Description of tour says approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes It took us 9 hours...we did stop along the way to look at things and take pictures so I'd say we spent about 6and a half to 7 hours actually doing this tour. Still way more than an hour and 15 minutes. Someone really needs to rework the directions to follow in the app because to get to prometheus directions were wonky. Directions to the roundels were completely off we never did actually find the roundels and the directions to 6 and 1/2 Ave had us 4 streets over from where we should have been. But even after all that it was still a fun time.
