New York City is an iconic city in the United States and it’s also true that most tourists arrive here just to experience the cityscape. This large metropolitan is divided into five boroughs and you can clearly see that exploring the city is not so simple.

That is why people need local guides–but what to do when you don’t have family or friends there? You need not feel alone when you have the best Tours4Fun tours in New York City as their affordable plans will help you explore the Big Apple very well.

Do you remember that part treasure hunting, part-city guide TV series from the early 2000s, where participant tourist couples were given riddles related to the city and some clues over SMS on their Nokia phones, and they were to solve it by either deciphering the message or through the help of locals? More or less, this tour will be a similar experience, players will be sent 22 questions on their smartphones and the time limit to solve them is three-and-a-half hours.
