    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.

      Mallory was awesome! She was very knowledgeable, very friendly and engaged with the whole group. Even our 5 year old was engaged and had a fantastic time. Yes, the cupcakes were all great, but the experience as a whole was without doubt one of the best food tours we have ever participated in.

        Was a great time!

        I did this tour for my daughter's birthday trip to New York and we had a great time! Definitely recommend not going shopping before the tour so you're not carrying a bunch of stuff while doing so much walking! But it was great and our tour guide Mallory was exceptional! She had lots of little details to tell us about the area as we went around and had a great personality and really made the trip fun! Not to mention all the yummy treats we got the try all along the way! It's definitely a great time and I would recommend it to anyone!!
