| This is a fun thing to do solo, on a date or in a group. All you need to do is show up looking to have a good time and that is exactly what you will get. I have told all my friends about it and some have already booked tickets. The idea for the show is brilliant and the cast is great. Thanks for a great time. |

| . . . but then we'd have to kill ya. Part tour, part game, part theater - a great way to see the "lower" side of NYC (bring cumfy walking shoes). All the rave reviews are well deserved. We can't wait to do the Greenwich Accomplice during our next visit. Gotta go - off to start a life of crime!

| The acting was superb in most cases. The script is childish, not too comical. The idea and the places visited, even for a New Yorker, where fun and out of the regular. An overall good experience, may need more surprises and laughs. |

Fabulous if you like that sort of thing

| I am so not the right audience for Accomplice: New York because I really don't enjoy interacting with people who are "in character" as characters other than themselves. Unfortunately, that's what Accomplice: New York turned out to be, which is something that I'd have known if I'd bothered to read the material on the web site -- or even the review that my daughter brought to my attention.
Because I'm not really the right sort of audience member for this sort of theatre-on-the-street, I felt pretty uncomfortable when having to interact with the various fictional characters. However, the actors' performances seemed campy, engaging and fun; the performers gave off vibes that made them seem nice -- even when they were supposed to be tough characters -- and everyone seemed to want to engage the audience members / tourists. In fact, everyone else on my tour seemed to be having a great time, including my daughter. And parts of the tour did seem surprising and original.
I had been interested in Accomplice: New York because of its promise to us sights that we as tourists might not ordinarily see. On that count, the tour succeeded pretty well, although the actual number of identifiable "spots" were few and (this is a strength) obscure. I will tell you that, when my daughter and I found ourselves in unfamiliar territory two days later, we were able to find our ways back to familiar neighborhoods and the subway by retracing the path from the tour -- a real boon that made the experience worth the money in my book. |

| They cancelled on us last minute and it was the one activity I was looking forward to during my New York vacation. They did a poor job of notifying everyone in our group--in fact, they only contacted one person and that one person assumed we all knew it was cancelled, when in actuality we didn't. However, they did provide a full refund and one free ticket for a future visit. |

| I am afraid that I was not able to make the walk - no fault of Accomplice I hasten to add. I am recovering from a broken ankle and it was just a bit too ambitious.
I should however like to say that I was in contact with Tom of Accomplice and he was most courteous, helpful and efficient at all times, and I hope to take part in one of your activities the next time I am in New York. |

| The whole event was well planned, and very interactive. The actors were excellent and funny. And we got to see parts of Manhattan that we rarely visit up close and personal. |

| We had a blast and enjoyed every bit of it. I wish it was more personalized like that site stated. We gave in stories about my friend (who's bday we were celebrating) but the actors along the way didn't make much references and if they did they couldn't remember the details. Over all it was fun fun fun! |

| I had bought tickets to this with one other friend. We were put into a group of pretty diverse people that I had initially thought had held promise but the group I participated with were really passive and stiff. I would recommend doing it with a big group of friends where you know would all have fun. The actual actors that are part of the activity were terrific. They were funny and very engaging. It was a really fun and different type of experience and I would recommend it to anyone with an open mind. |
