Our guide Marci I thinkwas outstanding. The desserts were great. We not only ate some great desserts, we learned about the area.

After waiting for an hour for a pre paid tour along side 16 other people we realized no one was coming. There was no tour. Extremely dissapointing, we were really looking forward to it.

I give it zero stars because THERE WAS NO TOUR!! The tour guide never showed up as we WAITED AND WAITED on the corner. All the adults looked for help from your website but none was given. If you are reading this and thinking of booking a tour with DO NOT BOTHER!!!!! It was a TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!

You would not want to miss this tour. Be ready to indulge in all the sweet goodies that came with the tour. Our guide was excellent, very knowledgeable. She brought us to Bisous, Ciao luxurious and chic French macarons, Magnolia bakery, Molly's Baker, Gelato New York, Milk and Cookies Bakery and Baked by Melissa. My favorite was Bisous, Ciao. The macarons are fluffy in texture but dense in flavor and the balance of the cream and the cookie is excellent.

Mallory gave us a fantastic tour of iconic and delicious NYC desserts. It was also a great way to see unique, less touristy neighborhoods. This is a must do!

the tour we booked said 6 outlets would be visitied but we only went to 5 of which one was closed for a private function so we have to wait out side. the guide did not have us booked on the tour even though we had booked previously and had confirmation. the guide was informitive after a slow start. we enjoyed the tour of Greenwich village but some of the cupcakes were a disappointment as we werent given a choice just had to have what was given which was not what was indicated on the description. thought was overpriced for what we recieved.

Far too many people were allowed on the same trip which meant it felt crowded.
Review by: Dorothea E, July 2015
This tour is highly recommendable. We enjoyed every single step and every single step was worth to go. Because at every stop there was a delicious dessert waiting for us. I liked the icecream and my nice liked all sweets. Mallory has been an awesome tour guide. We had a lot of fun and got some lovely New York City inside information. Only one complaint: It could have been more sweeties -

We had a great time, and our guide did a fantastic job!
Review by: Melissa H, June 2015
We enjoyed our tour with Mallory. It was nice to walk through Greenwhich village and by NYU. The portion sizes were just right. We would definitely do it again.
Review by: Kathryn L, April 2015
I was expecting more, esp at $50/person. For start, there was no clear direction of where the tour started. we had to search. The tour was over sold so we could never stay in the shop, and it was cold.. The gelato was great but a big bowl shared by 20 is ridiculous. We should have each had our own.
Review by: Lili W, April 2015
We had a great tour guide (Jessie) and a tour group consisting of 16 people in total. The delicious cupcakes of various sizes and gelato sampled filled our tummies up to the point where we didn't need to have lunch that day!

Fun tour and tasting of delicious delights! Marcie was a very knowledgable tour guide and was an excellent way to spend 2 hours seeing Greenwich Village

Tour was amazingly yummy and tour guide, Jessie was very nice
Review by: Ambili P, August 2014
Was an excellent tour - got way more than just cupcakes and sweet treats as our wonderful guide also fed us historical tidbits along the way. Only thing was there was actually more cupcakes than I could eat by the end! I suggest a nice palate cleanser would sort that out.

We had a great time! Jessie was a fantastic tour guide. The dessert tastings were amazing. Didn't know we would learn so much about the area while we walked from bakery to bakery!
Review by: Toni-Lynn M, July 2014
Jessi was fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of this tour. Obviously the food was fantastic!! And there was actually more than you could eat - luckily we were able to get boxes/bags for samples we couldn't finish!! We thoroughly enjoyed all of the neighborhood information that was shared along the way - and boy did we cover a lot of ground! It was really awesome that the tour was so much more than just the food.
Review by: Michelle O, May 2014
Was great. Our tour guide Mallory was totally professional while also being fun and approachable. My 12 year old Amelia particularly took a shine to her. Had a lovely, warm sunny day. Cakes and all samples were delicious. Loved that we got a discount for purchases. Overall very happy. Local knowledge was added bonus.
Review by: Lisa G, May 2014
We have enjoyed a lot of tours in many cities, but this one was a waste of our time and money. The guide was very flat, and didn't seem comfortable in her job. Our advice...map out the bakeries on your phone and do this yourself. For what you pay for the tour, you could have a sample in every bakery and still have money left over for a great lunch in the Village.

This tour was great fun! Mallory was our guide and she was exceptional!

The tour itself was fab, the beginning was a bit of a nightmare.
Review by: Kathleen M J, January 2014
It was a fabulous experience! The tour guide was fun and knowledgeable! The treats were divine. I am waiting anxiously for my next tour.
Review by: Joy Y, December 2013
I just loved this tour! I'm from Hawaii and we have a few cupcake places but no where close to how good new yorks cupcakes were! It was a bit much at the end because there's so muh sweets (and I'm a huge sweets eater) but everything was so good I had to eat everything! You must go on this tour!!
Review by: Charmaine D, December 2013
If you are looking for something a little different to do, this is it. I enjoyed touring Greenwich which was a great neighbour to visit. Molly's was my favorite stop. Although I am a huge gelato fan didn't love the mango gelato, but otherwise everything else was great, including our tour guide Mallory!!
Review by: Cecilia H, November 2013
We were not saticfied with the tour. I think that we got very little value for the money.
