📝 About this app
Narrated walking tour of lower Manhattan. The best, easiest to use New York City tour app around! Why strain your eyes to see a distant statue from a tour bus, or get rushed through your favorite sight? See NYC the way it was meant to be seen: on foot.
Sixteen sights are included in the tour, covering about 3.5 miles. Rain? Take a break and resume later. It's like having your own personal tour guide, at a fraction of the price.
Two Buck Tours include narration (in English), maps with GPS, directions, photos, and interesting information about each sight. Good for tourists and locals of all ages. No schedules, no crowds, no worries.

★★★★★ Tourists will like this app!
Definitely worth the $2. It shows you many of the sights on the tip of Manhattan, including Federal Hall and Wall Street. The tour doesn't take you to the Statue of Liberty, but does give you tips on how you can see it from the free fe…
★★★★★ Good for student groups visiting NY
The high school group we had seemed to like the iPhone format of the tour - even better than the guided tours we took. We chaperones liked that we could start in different places and still meet up for lunch. The tour itself was informative …

★☆☆☆☆ Where is the rest
If the app had ‘Manhattan’ rather than a small fraction close to the financial district and battery park only then it may be 5 star. Considering this is left without updates or completion then it simply isn’t a minimal viable product and sh…
★★★★★ Great way to explore the city!
Very detailed, and it was great to be able to pause the tour in the middle — we got to grab lunch and spend a while poking around some of the sites. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys a more in-depth look at a city, or who just wants …

🌍Geographic ReachNot ranked
This app is currently outside the top 100 grossing in all 9 countries we monitor (US, UK, DE, FR, JP, CA, AU, BR, IN). Niche or new apps often launch this way — popularity rankings appear once daily revenue clears the regional threshold.
Profile is built from iTunes Lookup + developer site scrape + ML revenue model. Empty fields show "Not found" — additional sources (Crunchbase, X, IndieHackers, Acquire.com) coming.
