We enjoyed the cupcakes and our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the city. Unfortunately it was a rainy cold day and we were provided with the wrong meeting spot. We texted the guide to ask where they were and they apologized saying the spot had changed and we just weren’t notified. We walked about 3/4 of a mile to the new meeting spot. Not great given the weather. We also weren’t crazy that the guide walked through no-walking street signs and left members of the group behind to wait for traffic several times. I’ve lived in New York and completely understand the fast walking but given that we had an 8 year old with us, it didn’t feel appropriate.

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!

I 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.
