I can't wait for my next trip to take another walking tour with this tour company. Onel is knowledgeable, personable, engaging, humorous, thoughtful and kept us on time! He knew exactly where to stop for photo ops and gave us plenty of time for them - I appreciated the scheduled bathroom break at clean bathrooms and the stop for drinks/snacks at the most perfect grocery store that I wish was in my neighborhood. The tour ended at lunchtime in the perfect location with several food options as well as close to both the ferry and trains for the return commute to Manhattan. I highly recommend this walking tour with Onel as your guide - you won't regret it!

Five stars for Scott's Pizza Tours, and that's only because six is not an option Yelp provides…read more Imagine a man who has taken the idea of pizza, which most people treat as a thing you fold in half on a street corner, and decided it deserves a Rosetta Stone. That man is Scott. We met him at Keste in the Financial District, and before he said much of anything, I noticed something unusual. Several of the people on our tour had done it before. They were back for more. That seemed as telling as anything else. People do not go on vacation and repeat the same bus ride unless something extraordinary is waiting for them on the other end. Scott does not work from a script. He looks at the group, he looks at the day, and then he consults the secret weather system in his head. Out came our route. Four stops, starting at our meeting point in Manhattan's Financial District and three more scattered like wayward toppings on the city map. Queens. The Bronx. Harlem. Lucky us. Scott told us that combination hardly ever happens. To him it was chance. To the rest of us it was magic. The stops themselves were like chapters in a book. At Keste we learned about the precision of Neapolitan tradition. At Patsy's in Harlem we felt the weight of history, coal ovens burning with the same stubbornness they have for generations. At Mario's on Arthur Avenue in the Bronx, an owner with stories longer than the line outside the door talked to us like we were old friends. At Philomena's in Queens, Scott was so at home that he even took a customer's order when the restaurant was swamped by our presence. Every stop had its secrets revealed. Oven temperatures. Dough hydration percentages. Family feuds. Bake times. Flour suppliers. How long a pizza can sit before the soul leaks out of it. Scott called over owners, opened kitchen doors, and invited us to peer inside the fiery mouths of the ovens like pilgrims gazing at sacred relics. Scott himself is difficult to explain without sounding untrustworthy. He is a human encyclopedia with a perfectly tuned sense of joy. He has a Rolodex in his brain that seems to contain the phone number of every pizza maker on earth. I mentioned Hamilton and he talks about Papa's and DeLorenzo's as if we were neighbors. Others mentioned Seattle and Las Vegas, and he told them where to eat, who to meet, and when to go. He casually suggested lowering the water percentage from 66 to 63 for another guest's home pizza dough, as if adjusting the tides. Then he mentioned that after our tour he would be home making 16 doughs for his guides, who were planning to test a new oven. I believed him. He also radiates decency. He runs Slice Out Hunger, a nonprofit that takes the love of pizza and turns it into meals for people who need them most. It is good to know a person can devote their life to melted cheese and still be entirely serious about kindness. This tour filled us with more than pizza. It gave us a sense of belonging. Everyone, from my ten year old to a pizza shop owner who happened to be along for the ride, was entertained and educated and full. Scott's Pizza Tours is not just about pizza, although the pizza is wonderful. It is about a man who has built a community, and who invites strangers to step inside it for a few hours. If you are a casual eater, a home chef, or someone who has already built your own pizzeria, this is for you. Five stars. The highest recommendation.

We traveled…read morefrom Houston and did Pizza School NYC on a Saturday and Scott's Pizza Tours on the following Monday. Our guide, David, was marvelous. We could tell that he has studied the history of the places he took us to, but he also knew quite a bit about the science of pizza making. Further, he was extremely polite and just generally a fun dude to hang out with. It was very obvious that David did not consider this to be work, even though it's his job. We chose to have the majority of our tour was in Greenwich Village, and it included some rich, historical pizzerias. We had our favorites, but every location was clutch. And we returned to the hotel very full! We are national and international travelers, and we have taken our fair share of tours. Scott's Pizza Tours and our guide, David, rank near the top of our experiences.

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!!!

Adrienne puts together a very interesting, and more importantly entertaining tour, that not only gives you a slice of NYC, sights and history, but a taste of NY and it's edible culture too. 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.
