Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and informative, he was highly entertaining and the whole tour was really great fun
We had a fabulous tour. Loved our girl. Learned fun pizza facts, and loved the trying different styles of NY pizza. Coming form Chicago, we love out pizza!!
My husband and I spent 5 amazing days in New York City. We took in several tours and intentionally saved this one for our final day because, quite honestly, it was the tour that excited us most. The only preconceived notion that I came into the tour with is I am going to eat delicious pizza. Thankfully, I did, in fact, eat delicious pizza which is the sole reason I rated the tour as high as I did. Otherwise, the execution of this tour left A LOT to be desired. Two hours into the three-hour tour, we had only eaten one slice of pizza. I overheard a disgruntled fellow tour participant telling his girlfriend how he would prefer less talking and more eating. My husband and I quietly concurred. For those of you who count steps, you will not be disappointed. There was plenty of walking which I love, but we walked far more than we ate. Also, beverages are NOT included in the 40/person tour price nor are toppings of any kind. Cheese pizza. The end. The idea of feeding tour participants fresh-from-the-oven pizza and not providing drinks is somewhat absurd. Also, we were only allowed to dine in the 1st of the 3 pizza venues we visited. To be fair, one of the venues we visited was walk-up only but the 3rd was simply amazing inside with quirky, graffiti-riddled benches and NYC pizzeria charm. I only found this out by ignoring the tour guide's requests for us to stand outside of the building insisting that the restaurant was too small inside. For the record, the restaurant had an abundance of open booths. It would have been wonderful to eat inside of that pizzeria. In summation, the pizza was great...the tour, not so much. It is nothing special and definitely lacks secret sauce of any kind. My suggestion is to carve out a day to stroll through Manhattan hitting all of the prominent pizzerias from a relatively basic Google search. For the 40/person that this tour costs, you can do it at your own pace, buy toppings and soda, and have PLENTY of money left over for gelato.
