Delicious desserts - Wanted to do another tour with Like A Local and my wife and I really enjoyed this dessert tour. We have done food tours but never one focused on dessert and it was delicious and fun. Friendly guide, great stops and learned a lot about the neighborhoods. Nice way to experience the village and Chelsea.

Perfect Girls’ Trip Experience! - Such an incredible tour! We enjoyed our NY girls’ trip to celebrate Christmas and birthdays, and this tour checked every box. Delicious destinations at every stop and we thoroughly enjoyed the history and information that was shared for the neighborhoods. Our teenage daughters loved every second, and us moms couldn’t be happier. Thank you Lora and Like A Local Tours!

Yummiest tour in town - We had so much fun on our dessert tour! We are already headed back to get more of the desserts we loved on the tour. We are locals and didn’t know about any of these spots! Loved learning the history of the area too. It was a good amount of walking too, which we loved. We highly recommend!!

Fun way to explore some neighborhoods and eat along the way - Fun way to see parts of the city and try some new foods. Appreciated the focus on supporting local and small businesses. Enjoyed the extra little pieces of NY history in the neighborhoods and the walk along the High Line. All of the desserts were pretty good--nothing so amazing that we would go out of our way to return to them.
