What have CityDays adventurers been up to?
Had an amazing time. Cleverly written. Suggest comfortable shoes and spare about 3 hours to finish. Answer questions precisely. Highly recommend.
Great way of learning about NYC!
We had a great time exploring our city and noticing lots of new things we had just walked by before! Great way to experience a city, whether you live here or are visiting.
Honestly, I did not know what to expect from this experience. I booked it as a mystery day to surprise my mom and sister as we are big Amazing Race fans, love escape rooms, and travel. This experience combines them all! We had so much fun exploring parts of Boston we had never been to before. The day flew by, we were having so much fun. I will definitely be booking again! I highly recommend this experience and can't wait to try it in another city!
So fun! Loved it.
A really informative and fun treasure hunt, taking in lots of interesting sites. Unfortunately part of the route was blocked because it went past a court house where Donald Trump was on trial, but we can't really blame City days for that...
