Incredibly fun experience for all ages. Our guide made sure the tour was fun, educational, and, of course, delicious! As out of towners we learned about areas of the city we had yet to visit. The tour was suggested by a local New Yorker who found it equally as fun.

Tour was great except that many of the shops were very small which made for an awkward wait because it was freezing outside so we all wanted to squeeze inside. Not the tour’s fault at all. Cupcakes and gelato were very tasty but definitely bring your sweet tooth!

This is more than just a cupcake tour. Lots of interesting informative facts about New York as well. This aspect may not interest the younger set. As well, be on notice that we put on 8,500 steps in two hours. Quite strenuous! Our guide, Justin, was interesting, knowledgeable and amusing.
