## Testimonials

PreviousNext

The guys did an amazing job. The content was fantastic, very well-structured, and just a lot of fun. What can I do now? Make a pizza that tastes like how I imagine a New York City pizza should taste.

#### — Jan

A perfect experience for colleagues, clients, or even a big group of friends. Ricky, Rufus, and Shah were incredible hosts who taught us every step of making great pizza.

#### — Chris

Our group made 28 pizzas in 4 hours, and we had so much fun making up pizza combos and trying different variations. And now we know how to make delicious pizza at home from scratch!

#### — Duane

It was nice to have that unique experience in the city beyond the stuff that everybody else does. The time flew by. The teacher was able to answer all our questions. I hope we can make the trip out to do it again.

#### — Samuel

The tour is amazing for families. Our guide, Sean, covered the historical, cultural and food aspects along the route. Highly recommended.

#### — Harry

Someone had recommended this tour, and she was not wrong! I too highly recommend it! Our guide was charismatic, enthusiastic and super knowledgeable — about all sorts, not just this area. The Sicilian pizza was fab too — tucked in so fast, forgot the obligatory photo.

#### — CK

I learned a lot from our friendly and very knowledgeable guide, Clair. There are lots of stunning views of Manhattan along the way, and the food was yummy. Wonderful tour!

#### — Charlene

Great experience with an expert guide. Jett was very knowledgeable, entertaining, and very well organized. He knows The Met inside and out, and is passionate about art.

#### — Patty

I had the pleasure of taking a tour at the Metropolitan Museum of Art with Chris Lee as my guide, and it was an unforgettable experience! Chris brought every exhibit to life with his enthusiasm, professionalism, and a great sense of humor.

#### — Tina

I recommend Erika. She was funny and thoughtful in her storytelling. She took us along on a journey that felt like she transported us back to that moment in time. What a special memory for us.

#### — Danielle

We truly appreciated your expert guidance, which transformed our visit into an immersive and enlightening journey through art and history. Your profound knowledge, combined with your engaging and captivating storytelling, brought the collections to life, transporting us across different eras and cultures.

#### — Herman

Kevin was very knowledgeable and insightful. He made our tour unforgettable! 10/10 would recommend again.

#### — Hana

Jon was amazing. He was very knowledgeable, and the passion he has for what he does is truly exceptional. His passionate storytelling of the events of 9/11 brought us to tears more than once.

#### — Pam

Ray was one of the best tour guides we have ever had in any city. He made the tour incredibly personal and relatable, sharing his experience as a native New Yorker working in Manhattan that day. It was really interesting, and very moving, to hear someone's experience first hand.

#### — Lan

We were a family of 4 with two kids, ages 11 and 14\. Daniel gave us firsthand insight into the sights, sounds and emotions of that horrible day. I loved the personal aspect as it really helped our children connect and understand, as best they can, an event that we should never forget.

#### — Jackie

The best tour I've ever been on! I've been to the city multiple times and yet everything felt new. Jorge also took the time to share his in-depth knowledge of different cultures and communities. The tour itself felt like it was trying to be ethical by supporting small businesses. I would do it again!

#### — Khaliah

Incredible guide. Ray's dedication and involvement in the tour were exceptional. He didn't just recite facts; he brought the boroughs to life with his personal anecdotes, deep knowledge, and engaging sense of humor.

#### — Adrian

Chris, our tour guide, was so knowledgeable, funny, and kind. A great tour of the spots you wouldn’t usually visit as a tourist in NYC! Absolutely spectacular.

#### — Niki

This tour surpassed all expectations. Tom, our tour guide, was absolutely lovely and has a vast knowledge of the history of NYC. So glad I booked this particular tour as it really was a highlight of my trip.

#### — Maeve

Ray, our tour guide, was a fount of knowledge with plenty of tales and fun stories to share. The itinerary was full but well designed so it flowed well. I feel like we learnt so much about this beautiful city from a born and bred New Yorker who clearly loves this special place.

#### — Karen

Our private tour with Jorge was amazing! We saw so many things in just one day and his knowledge was incredible. We had 4 moms and 4 teens, and he was able to keep us all happy and engaged all day. Highly recommend this as a way to see the NYC highlights in a day!
