Sightseeker Tours

Forget those guided city tours (too expensive, too scheduled, too groupy) and those self-guided city-tour apps (too dry, too boring). Come Sightseeking instead. Sightseeker “quests” aren’t so much self-guided walking tours as journeys for the imagination. Each one tells an essential story that carries you back into the city’s past and brings it vividly to life through 20+ sights, professional storytelling, and over 100 full-screen images and illustrations. Recommended foodie stops (Best Bites) and optional detours mean you can explore on your own schedule, at your own pace (quests can take as short as two hours or as long as half a day). Scavenger-hunt clues help you to look closer and see more. So, choose a quest that appeals to your location, age, and special interest (history, culture, nature, shopping, food, etc.). Download it for offline use, share it (free) with up to two others, and let’s be on our way. TRY THESE NYC QUESTS Where It All Began: the birth of New York (and the nation) The Great Central Park Safari: in search of wondrous beasts The Eighth Wonder of the World: crossing the Brooklyn Bridge The Stories of Central Park: rockers, rebels, and raving-mad queens A Walk Through Time: Fifth Avenue and the making of midtown KEY FEATURES Try before you buy (one taste and you will be hooked) Intriguing and surprising stories (not just a dry collection of random facts) Full-screen illustrations (up to 100 historical images, maps, art works, and illustrations per quest) Fully customizable (listen or read, automatic or manual progression, back/pause/forward controls) Scavenger-hunt clues (everything is more fun if it’s a game) Downloadable for offline use (no signal, no problem) Sharing for up to two other people (no extra cost) GPS navigation and/or written directions (so you never get lost) Recommended detours (don’t be too attached to the plan) Best Bites (food recommendations, because Sightseeking is hungry work)
