| Overall I think it was very creative and well planned. However, I thought the premise and some of the actors were very...hokey. It was obvious they were actors and were overly dramatic. I think they should have add libbed a bit more and not stuck to their "script" so much. I caughtmyself drifting off several times during their "schtick". It was not captivating or engaging. In particular, the man on the Brooklyn Bridge and Bunnie.
Although the website does warn you to wear comfortable shoes, I think the walking involved was extensive. We had a pregnant woman in our group and she found the trip to be exhausting and overwhleming. |

| Not recommended for groups of 2, especially when you get stuck with a group of 6. Each Accomplice mission is conducted with 8 people. We were a father/son team of 2, hoping to be paired with other smaller teams of 2-3, which would've worked well. Instead, we were stuck with 6 dysfunctional high school girl friends (that were now in their mid-30s). It didn't help that 2-3 of them showed up half drunk. The result was, when these girls weren't busy being belligerent to the Accomplice actors, they were looking for a toilet. The other less vocal half of the six-pack were very nice and some fun was had. Overall though, very disappointing. |

| We had a great time, and everyone walked away feeling like they had been treated to an unusual and fun experience. We all live in new york, and three of us are natives. I am relatively outgoing and I think this could be a fun thing to do as a single person, but if you are more shy, having a group of friends is definitely a plus to ensure that everyone gets to participate equally. We had a couple of uncanny experiences, where people not associated with us or the AccompliceNY group interacted with us in meaningful ways and helped us on our way. This is not just a tour of New York, it is a tour of some of the weird experiences that living in the city can provide. |

| As "real" New Yorkers we have seen and done it all --or so we thought. This experience was a ton of fun. The players are superb and we found it to be very well thought out and professionally put together. Our group had a fabulous time. This was a perfect Saturday afternoon activity. Definitely bring your walking shoes, a sense of adventure and a love of kitsh --you won't be disappointed. |

| This was one of the most fun, unique experiences we have ever had in New York. The six of us were joined by a young couple, recently engaged, and we ran all around the downtown area anxiously awaiting "the next clue". We would highly recommend this activity and look forward to participating in the sequel. We also would consider participating in other cities.
Kudos to the writers/creators - what a fabulous idea! The casting of this was brilliant as well. It's really difficult to describe the show to others but just know that it is definitely worth your time and money. We also think that it spans the age range from the very young to those our age or older... as long as you can walk for three hours with a few short pitstops. We will recommend it to our twenty-something kids and their friends, as well as bringing our husbands the next time we let them come with us to "play" in New York!
Caveats: Be sure you are up to lots of walking at a rather brisk pace. Depending on the season, it can also be through some very crowded New York City streets, brimming with tourists - or are they cops??? or "others"??? You can never be sure! They aren't kidding about the comfortable shoes, and don't be toting a big or heavy purse or you'll be sorry.
One of the best experiences we had on our "girls weekend in the city" ... and by girls I mean almost 50 year olds ;-) |

| This was one of the best activities we did our whole vacation. Sure there was a lot of walking but there were numerous moments we could sit and relax. Most of the event will depend on who you are grouped with but we really just had an incredible, incredible time. I recommend this to anyone! |

| It was a fantastic experience. The idea and execution were excellent.
The actors were hilarious and the fact that we got free drinks and food along the way (it was quite a long walk) helped the experience and also bonded the group.
I can't say enough about how much fun we had on this. It was an especially nice touch to meet the creators of the tour at the end.
Thanks again and we will be telling everyone we meet about it
