Really fun tour and super informative!…read more Great for big group or small groups. We had 4 people in our party but the tour total was about 25 people & by the end of the tour we had gotten to know everyone and were all friends. At least half of our tour were locals from NY which right off the bat was a great sign this isn't your typical touristy thing. Such a great activity to do with out of town friends b/c It feels like a local secret, you learn a lot about the history of beer in NYC, and you drink a lot of tasty beer. We went on the Express Tour. I cannot wait to go on the regular tour next time!

You get great views of the tree color transitions and just great photo opportunities. It does get cold on the water so bring a jacket. Experience is as excellent as last time with beverages and snacks for purchase. If you enjoy fall colors, great scenery and boats then you have to do this at least once.

Every tour stop was not only a great photo spot, but also a moment in history. We ate a wide variety of local food from pizza to dumplings and left with a profound sense of place and full bellies. Thank you, Angelo!

I can't say enough good things about this entire experience. The tour we wanted was sold out,…read morebummer. Sent a message to see what was recommended as far as the availability of a wait list or moving tickets from walking to bus tour would be easy. Scott himself responded, almost immediately with his recommendations. Purchased the walking tour tickets, put ourselves on the wait list for the bus tour and watched emails like a hawk for the few days before our scheduled date. The pizza tour Gods smiled on us and the wait list opened up. I called to get our tickets moved and talked to Scott who handled the whole transfer quickly for me because once the wait list opens up it opens up for everyone on it. He was very helpful in scoring those seats for us and understood the urgency. LOL. That's ALL before we even got to our first meeting place. We met the tour and Scott at Keste in the Financial District. I had read in my research that the tour stops aren't planned ahead and I was skeptical, but you could see him figuring it out as he figured out his group for the day. One of the attendees had taken the tour a year prior, they played a game of guess the spot so he didn't repeat stops for her and the very large group of family that she brought with her on this tour. There was one request for a spot in Brooklyn but he couldn't make it happen due to their hours, not that he wouldn't have moved heaven and earth if he could have. We had a smaller than usual tour group because of timing and a LI RR strike and you could just see that this opened up other options for places to go. After Keste we were able to do two stops in the Bronx, one in East Harlem. There was even an ice cream, water ice store next door to the last pizzeria. So much thought went into this route. Scott was able to take this group to places he hadn't been to in quite some time due to the distance and size of the group. Back to Keste-- what tour guide takes his entire group and takes over the kitchen, helping himself to dough balls and creating pies as he discussed pizza history?? We saw the kitchen and oven in each establishment and each shop was welcoming and friendly. Scott is a wealth of knowledge and enjoyed sharing his story and the story of all of the stops we visited. Pizza is an absolute passion project for him. Highly recommend!

The energy is uplifting, the stories about pizza are captivating, and everyone's mouths are sure to water as you watch those fresh slices come out--crispy crust, melted cheese, and that classic New York aroma.

From the time we signed up, to the time we boarded the plane to return home, TEP took care of every detail. We commented amongst ourselves that we felt like kids on vacation with our parents, as we didn't have to worry about any of the details - just show up and follow Neptali (our guide). From airport pickup in Cusco in luxury Mercedes vans where we were promptly served Coca tea to help with the altitude acclimation, to group dinners at amazing Peruvian restaurants, to historical tours and education on the history of the Inca - everything was covered and taken care of for us. And that was all before the amazing trek along the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu! Of course the trek itself was the highlight of the trip, and although it was extremely challenging for us, TEP's unbelievable attention to detail did not fail us on the trail. With nearly a 2:1 porter to trekker ration, our every need was met on the trail. We dined like kings every meal, and were consistently amazed with the quality (and nutritional appropriateness) of the food our chef and sous chef were able to put out with minimal kitchen conveniences. The thing I felt was most special about TEP's approach to this trip was the focus on gaining a cultural and historical appreciation for what we were experiencing. Every step along the way, we learned about the native people of Peru, the Inca civilization, the many ruins we came across, the vegetation we saw and how it was and is used, and the history of modern Peru. It was the trip of a lifetime, and have the help of The Explorer's Passage made it so much more enjoyable, and so much more memorable. The value of what they provide is amazing for the cost....rather, for the investment. I highly recommend them!

DON'T do this tour. There are plenty of other food tours in NYC that you can do instead which will…read moregive you a much better value and experience than Adrienne's. Where to begin... I did the Carroll Gardens tour, aka Cool Down on Court Street, on Sat July 28 with two friends who had a gift certificate. Our first stop was Milk bar, which I had been to before, but I was excited to try other things I hadn't tasted yet. All we were given was a sample size dollop of cereal milk ice cream, served in those small taste tester cups you get at a fro yo place. That was it. Our second stop appeared to be a local Italian deli, but I can't say for sure because we weren't taken inside. As we stood outside on the sidewalk, Adrienne pulled a container of soppressata out of a paper bag that she had been carrying and passed it around for us to try. She said it was from the same deli, but who knew if that was true? It became very clear at this point in the tour that she was being incredibly cheap, and that we were going to get the tiniest sample portion at each stop. Not to mention that soppressata is supposed to be stored in a refrigerator. Given that it was a hot summer day, Adrienne created a potential food safety concern by not storing it properly. Who knows how old it was?? I hope no one got sick! The next stop was at a pastry shop, where we had a pastry that was like a cross between a bagel and a biali. For a group of 8 people, she bought 2 of these and cut them into four pieces, so that each portion size was a few bites. She did the same thing at the sandwich shop. By the end of the tour, we were all still hungry. At our last stop, a sit down restaurant, we asked Adrienne if we could order more food because we were still hungry, and she told us that she was ordering dessert and that we'd be fine. We each got half of a dessert, a small piece of chocolate cake that was split into two. The tour was advertised as 2.5 hours, yet we arrived at the last stop only 1.5 hours in and were expected to sit at the restaurant for the last hour. The little amount of food we received at each stop did not nearly justify the $50 cost for the tour, so PLEASE find another tour - there are great ones in NYC for the same price where you don't leave hungry and dissatisfied at the end. By the way, I emailed Adrienne to explain my dissatisfaction and to ask her for a 50% refund, and she was most unprofessional in her response. So here I am writing my first Yelp review instead. I suspect the positive reviews that are on here are written by her family and friends (indeed her mother wrote the first one, as she says herself). Adrienne's dad was on the tour with us, along with another guy that was clearly a friend, so take that as you will. Whatever you do, avoid this tour!!!

Her tours are very good value, and in addiition to feeding your mind and your body, you get a little walking excercise in the bargain. A great way to experience the magic of this city.

Spent the day snowboarding, grabbed lunch and drinks (without having to worry about driving later) and then got back on the bus at 4:30pm, dozed off and was back in the neighborhood by 10:30pm - bus stopped for a snack at service station that offered Panera Bread, Shake Shack and Chic-fil-A; prime choices IMO. What more can one ask for? Sleep, enjoy the slopes, food and drinks on the mountain, and then more sleep! The cherry on this sundae was the trip leader, Saed.
