About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- sarahmG8026YB0 contributionsGreat time!Purchased this tour through Groupon and was surprisingly pleased! Vince was so knowledgeable about the history and took us all through Greenwich Village. The desserts were good but honestly his tour was the best part. He walks fast and talks fast but he’s a local so keep up! Definitely recommend and hopefully you get Vince!Written December 7, 2024
- kaleyr1110 contributionsFun and FactualThis tour was incredible! Our guide was Vince, who was super knowledgable and kind. He touched on all the spooky ghost stories of the village, but also catered the tour to our interests in literature as well. Definitely go, and ask for Vince!Written October 29, 2024
- NorthStar2083440 contributionsThis is a waste of money!!We went on this tour and while the tour guide was a nice, young man, it fell far short of what we were expecting because we've been on several other food tours in other areas of the USA. This one we only sat down once, was never offered any water to drink, and we received so little food that we ended up going out to eat after. One of the stops was to get a sugar coated mini donut!! And how do you just taste olive oil without any bread? The stories about the culture and area was lacking totally. This was a waste of time and money. The company needs to train their guides to do a much, much better job than this. To say we were disappointed would be an understatement. Don't go with this company!!! We didn't get what they advertised and feel we should get our money back.Written October 10, 2024
- GrantN1830 contributionsDon’t do this tour it is a ripoffThis tour is not a food tour it is going to places to get free samples from businesses that would be giving free samples anyways. Guide was late uninformed and didn’t know where they were going most of the time. It was 100 percent ripoff. Be aware that this. The people that we were with knew more than our guide.Written October 1, 2024
- ImaBlueman0 contributionsAbsolutely TerribleMy wife and I have been on quite a few food tours in various states, but without even being close, this is the WORST we have ever been on. All previous food tours we have been on included sit down tastings or food at selected restaurants, and by the time the tour is over, you are very full. On this tours website, they have scale in pictures of 1-5 with 1 being hungry and 5 stuffed. They rate this tour as a 4. Couldn't be farther from the truth. We sat only 1 time during the tour at the 1 place you could use a bathroom. My memory of the "highly and nutritious" samples along the way included a slice of cinnamon bread, one cookie, 3 small slices of assorted deli meat, taste of dip, bite of cheeses. The time we actually sat down was a small pepperoni roll. Most times the tour guide held a little plate that you took a sample off. When the tour was over, we went to find a bathroom and get something to eat. Skip this! Waste of time and money.Written September 18, 2024
- Freedom1007600 contributionsAn Epic NYC Adventure with SethSeth was wonderful and incredibly knowledgeable, turning our NYC tour into an unforgettable experience! He skillfully connected the city's iconic spots with fascinating superhero lore, making us feel like we were walking through the pages of a comic book. From hidden filming locations to stories behind the city's real-life heroes, Seth brought New York’s superhero side to life in such an engaging and fun way. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just looking to explore the city from a new angle, Seth’s tour is a must. Highly recommended for anyone looking to add a bit of super to their New York adventure!Written September 9, 2024
- M9830SZmicheleb0 contributionsWhat a joke!Having been on food tours in the past, this tour fell far below expectations. The tour guide was not knowledgeable of the local history or area. The food was lacking (free samples, other tours we've been on have served substantial portions). The businesses we visited were extremely busy, our small group seemed like a nuisance to the businesses that were already busy with customers. The guide had absolutely no rapport or connection to the shops. The tour does a disservice to the Strip District area of Pittsburgh. Which we discovered (on our own after the tour) is a very cool part of Pittsburgh. Save your money and explore the Strip District on your own.Written August 30, 2024
- lisaf9410 contributionsThe Guide Makes The Tour!Met at a beautiful church to start the tour. Roman, our tour guide took us to many ethnic restaurants and markets. He was very knowledgeable as to the history of each business. My only quibble is the amount of food we would get was not as described in the brochure. The best part of our tour was our guide. He was entertaining and a very good listener to us old folks.Written August 21, 2024
- NorthStar587622401260 contributionsworst food tourI was so excited to bring my son and his girlfriend on the cupcake tour which turned into a disaster. Shah our guide was unprepared and unhelpful. We should have known we were in trouble when she misidentified the Freedom Tower as the Empire State building. The other guests were from Mississippi. She explained why they were called cupcakes-a cup of each ingredient which was also wrong. She got us to the first stop Melissa's and misidentified the flavors of the cupcakes. She informed us the next stop would be 20 minute walk. She walked us for 50 minutes around the Jefferson Library after identifying it as a catholic church in victorian style. She was just making things up. at the 50 minute mark I asked her if she was lost and it was ok we could help her. She emphatically said no and whispered to a stranger for directions who started laughing. Her phone died and she had to borrow someone's and tried to tell us she took us around the not catholic church on purpose. She was almost belligerent when we all noticed we were walking down the same street. All 8 of us agreed and my child even had a picture to prove it. My husband told her you have 5 minutes she then walked us halfway down a block the wrong way again and that was it for my family. They were hungry. In addition she had us jaywalking and referred to Union Square as the hood I wish I was exaggerating but we wrote all this down when we had lunch after leaving our one cupcake tour.Written August 3, 2024
- pohlingo0 contributionsSuperhero walking tourSeth was very knowledgeable on all things New York, building architecture and a plethora of superhero artifacts. He was also great with our kids and flexible to accommodating their needs. They really got to see New York and it's iconic tourist spots the way they could consume the information and quickly relate. What a great tour!Written July 25, 2024
- martynet20180 contributionsAmazing guideAmazing guide and a great tour! We love everything. The only thing is that i booked This tour because you offer the french tour but we don’t have it in french.Written July 20, 2024
- cheechz20240 contributionsAwesome trip for a group of four!It was an awesome tour! My two daughters enjoyed it as well. We visited NYC for the first time and were amazed at the wonderful time we had. The beautiful places we visited were a highlight of our trip.Written May 29, 2024
- vyanned20240 contributionsFun tour if you want to learn about NYC history and eat cupcakes along the wayThe best part of the tour was our guide Vince who was very knowledgeable about NYC history and told us many interesting stories. He had a great sense of humor too. We passed by many historical/pop culture landmarks. The cupcakes were just a bonus - I would consider this more of a history tour than a cupcake tour. We didn’t mind that two of the cupcakes were mini because by the end we were so sugared out. It was a fun experience but I received this as a gift otherwise I don’t think it’s worth paying the full price.Written April 22, 2024
- KristiM8720 contributionsGreat Walking Tour of Greenwich Village...Vincent, our tour guide, was a wealth of information and a fantastic storyteller. We loved walking through the beautiful West Village hearing about the early days of Bob Dylan, Jimmy Hendrix, Bruce Springsteen, Tony Bennett, Stonewall Riots, Death location of Alexander Hamilton, "Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" locations and on and on. If I had to critique this tour at all, it was only that the cupcake part of the tour was limited to three cupcake stops (two of which were only mini cupcakes) and the others were cookies and creme puffs. Maybe change the name of the tour instead of making it all about the cupcakes...but again, overall a great experience.Written April 11, 2024
- kennym7420 contributionsHorrible and no contact from tour provider.This tour is a scan. No tour guide showed up at the meeting place. The people at the shop in the meeting area had no idea of a cupcake tour. We four paid for the tour and no one showed. I’ll dispute the charge with my credit card company. What a ripoff.Written December 8, 2023
