Q&A

Q: Is there a recommended age limit for this crime tour? I want to get it for my teenager.

A: The tour is suitable for older teens, but I'd recommend it for ages 14 and up. Some stories can get a bit gritty, so it might depend on your teen's comfort level with true crime stuff. Just make sure they’re interested in history and can handle darker themes!

Q: How long does the tour take if we want to take breaks? Can we really go at our own pace?

A: Yes, you can totally go at your own pace! The tour is designed to last 2-3 hours if you don’t take breaks, but I stretched mine out over a whole day with lunch and coffee stops. It’s really flexible—just make sure you have the app open and the access code handy!

Q: What happens if it rains on the day of our tour? Do we get a chance to reschedule?

A: Good news! Since it's self-guided, you can choose to go whenever the weather permits. Just check the forecast and if it looks bad, you can easily reschedule your walk for a sunny day. The access code gives you lifetime access, so no worries!

Just took the NY Crime Tour and it was epic!

I did the self-guided crime tour last weekend in NYC, and wow, it was a blast! The app worked perfectly, and I really loved how it played stories automatically as I reached each stop. I took my time with the 16 stops, probably took about 4 hours with breaks for coffee. Perfect for anyone who loves dark history or true crime! I highly recommend it as a gift for friends who are into that stuff!

Thinking about gifting this crime tour...any thoughts?

I’m looking at getting this NY Crime tour for my sister's birthday. She loves true crime shows and NYC. Is it fun? Is there a lot of walking? I want her to enjoy it, but she doesn’t do well with too much exercise.
