New York Food Cart Walking Tour
New York Date Night
Oct 06, 2022
By: Greg K
Amanda - was a fantastic guide - we were the only people on the tour so we got to ask lots of questions and it was a great conversation between the 3 of us. She truly seemed to care about our history and background and was able to speak freely about the food cart situation in NYC. She enriched our knowledge of the different types of carts, trucks and kiosks!!! BTW the food was great and we were stuffed at the end - the Pork souvlaki were to die for
Response from Virgin Experience Gifts
Hello Gregory ,
Thanks for sharing your review with us! I'm so pleased to hear that you had a 5 star experience and that you were able to learn so much about the tour. We truly work with the best of the best and glad you had Amanda as your guide. I will be sure to pass this review to her. It truly sounds like a great adventure when you get to learn something new and eat delicious cuisine!
Thanks,

It went very well. Everything was good. The organizer Manhattan by Sail was very responsive and the whole
Sailing experience was great
I have a problem with virgin. They need to have a customer service hotline to call. I did not get confirmation of my trip until
Just 4 days before the trip. After sending multiple emails I finally got confirmation. Other than that it was a good experience
Response from Virgin Experience Gifts
Hello Madhu,
Thanks for sharing your review with us. I’m glad to hear you had a great experience out on the sail. I have passed all of your feedback to my team. We do have a live chat system that is available Monday through Friday and apologize for missing you. I hope you enjoyed the scenic views and hope we have the opportunity to get you out on another adventure.

All-Day Central Park Rollerblade Rental
New York Date Night
Sep 15, 2022
By: Elisa C
The rental gave me rollerblades different between them, same size but different brand = one with big wheels, one with small wheels.
I used them for 30 minutes and then I came back
Response from Virgin Experience Gifts
Hello Elisa, Thank you for reaching out and taking the time to share your review with us. How silly of them to give you two different rollerblades with two different sized wheels! I can understand how that might make things a little more challenging. I hope you were able to get this corrected with them, and they were able to get you some new rollerblades to further enjoy your experience! I do hope we can make this up to you by getting you out on another adventure in the future! Best regards, Brooke

Not much of a beer tasting. Just cans of beer available. No cheese etc.Sail was fun but getting tickets etc was difficult and very little help from vendor. No phone contact, no web site.

I am happy to hear that the sail was enjoyable! I am sorry to hear that the beer tasting was less than expectations. Apologies on the difficulties that were experienced. We strive to make every process smooth and seamless from start to finish. Of course, there is always room for improvement.
I hope that we can work together again in the future on another great experience!

By: Lindsay B
We had a great time on our tour. Our guide Adam was super friendly and very knowledgeable, and he showed us several cool places and told us lots of fun facts about NYC and the Village. We loved all the stops on the tour and would go back to any/all of them. The beer and pizza were fantastic and we were definitely full when finished! The stops were all a perfect distance apart to enjoy walking from one to the next. Highly recommend this tour!
Response from Virgin Experience Gifts
Hi Lindsay,
This amazing review has me ready to pack my bags for NYC! I am so glad that Adam was able to share his knowledge of NYC and the Village with you--he truly sounds like a superb guide! And the cherry on top? Delicious pizza and beer! Sign me up! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us, I will definitely check out this tour the next time I am in NYC.
Cheers to you,

Williamsburg Food Tour

Dec 28, 2021
By: Diane B
Wow!!! I wonder if I could say all of the great things about this tour. We had Walter. He initially struck me as a quieter guy when I first me him, but the minute the tour started...he was wonderful!! He gets you as excited about the unique food that you'll be experiencing as he does about the history of the area of Williamsburg. And he engaged the entire group with questions to make them feel a part - whether they were residents or tourists. Sign up for this Williamsburg food tour WITH Walter!!
Response from Virgin Experience Gifts
Hello Diane,
Sounds like an awesome experience! It always makes the adventure more exciting when you have a guide that is passionate, knowledgeable and goes out of their way to engage with the entire group. We will be sure to pass your kind words with our partner. What a unique way to enjoy the streets and history of Williamsburg while feeding your inner foodie!
Thanks,
Ryan

By: VICTORIA F
The guide got confused and went to the wrong tour so we had to wait 25+ mins for him to arrive. We only got a couple extra minutes added on so missed a lot of the tour and was rushed. We got an extra tasting to make up for it though. The guide was knowledgeable about the area but not much shared about the food. Was ok but would do that tour again.
Response from Virgin Experience Gifts
Hi there, Victoria! Thanks for sharing your experience with us - it is greatly appreciated! Oh no, I'm sorry to hear of that delay to your tour. I am happy to hear things were able to get back on track and include an extra tasting! We have added $25 to your account to ensure we can get you out on another experience that might be a bit more your speed! Cheers, Jake.

I loved seeing Bob Dylan's hangout, the Friend's apartment, understanding NY's gentrification situation, and the walks weren't too long or tiring. Oh, the cupcakes!!!!!! Yum!
Response from Virgin Experience Gifts
Hi Janet, That's fantastic! I'll definitely be sure to pass your compliments along to the guide. And wow - that certainly sounds like you spanned a ton of New York history, along with the so much of its foodie scene. Cheers to good food in a good city! Best, Inah
New York Harbor Sail
New York Date Night
Jul 03, 2019
By: Deborah P
It is hot waiting in line so stay in the shade and don’t forget sun screen. There were ppl who wore dresses which blew away. We really enjoyed our cruise and we avoided a storm which made it really exciting. Loved the views and the watching the workings of the sails. We got really close to the statue. We left late because they did wait for someone running late even though they advertised they will not wait. Then we had to get a tow bc of the wind to get out of the harbor. Once we were on the water we loved it. They have us a drink bc of the wait but then they never came back to get your empty can. So we were trying to take pics while holding the drinks, awkward. The kids loved moving up front to king of the world it. They did take our pics when we asked them to which was nice. We had an eventful time because there was a storm in the distance but we enjoyed it. Maybe if the water was smoother you could enjoy drinks but we really didn’t take advantage of that. But to wrap up, it was a super fun time, awesome way to see the statue and wonderful views of the city. We are so glad we did this experience!

It was fun, but as a native New Yorker, he brought us to a lot of places we've already been. We were hoping to find some gems, but ended up at some basic spots. When my friend asked our guide why we went to this specific bagel shop, he said it was because it was on the way, no other reason. It was fine and would be more fun for out-of-towners!
Response from Virgin Experience Gifts
Hi Paige, Thank you for taking the time to write in about your experience and for your honest feedback. We truly appreciate it as we can only improve from it. I know that our guides strive to impress locals especially, and it sounds like we fell short of it on this tour. I'll definitely pass your comments on to our tour partner as I know they're always looking to do better as well. Warm Regards, Inah

Sep 04, 2018
By: Betsy B
Sweet friendly tour guide. The dessert stops were picked more based on story, especially connection to NYC theater, and location than for quality. They were fine, but only one or two were memorable. They also are not New York specific other than existing here. How do you have a NYC dessert tour with no cheesecake? A lack of information about the food and dishes themselves other than at one stop where we happened to catch the owner. I would not recommend this tour unless you are a tourist wanting to get a glimpse of a neighborhood eating some okay sweets. It was nice that the tours are just small groups. It was just us and one other couple.

Our tour guide was FANTASTIC! She was one of those people who is basically born to do this. Full of energy, super friendly, very informative. Where some other tour guides could deliver the same facts and lose you half way through, I learned so much from listening to her because she was incredibly engaging. The only reason this isn't a 5-star rating is because the food itself wasn't very good. The first stop in Eatly was really the only enjoyable item. So not her fault, of course, and everything else was great.

We are local New Yorkers, not visiting tourists, and we very much enjoyed this sailing experience. It is a beautiful view to see the city and the Statue of Liberty from the harbor while being on a sail boat instead of a crowded ferry. The experience was relaxing, the crew and captain were fun and engaging, and the onboard bar allowed for a nice glass of wine. We would highly recommend this sail and would consider gifting it to friends as well. Great for couples, families with kids, or a group of friends.

The food stops were fascinating and gave us plenty of nourishment (not sure about calorie intake, but the 3 hours of walking made up for it). Highly recommend.

The bus tour of the Brooklyn Navy Yard was very interesting. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the actual tour, much more history, civil engineering, and subjects of local interest. He was an excellent speaker, and I could hear and understand every word he spoke. The historical photographs he showed us of the Navy Yard enhanced our views on the ground considerably. The starting point for the tour, Building 92, was a great destination in itself. It is a nicely done exhibit of the Navy Yard, past and present. I want to spend some more time there in the future.

We sat for 40 minutes (this is not an approximation or exaggeration -- I clocked it) off the shore not moving, with no explanation as why we were there, and then as soon as it was almost at the 2 hour mark we went back and docked. It was listed as a 2 hour tour. And yes, we were on the water/boat for 2 hours -- but otherwise very misleading and frustrating. Book with another tour operator. This was terrible. (Terrible for a paid tour; we were still on the water looking back at NY so the experience itself still had some merit.)

I wasn't as interested in the theater landmarks he pointed out, but I'm sure they would have been very welcome to someone else. The food stops were a little underwhelming; I must have been expecting shops that were a little more off the beaten path. But, the food was good, and getting to see all the little streets was fun.

My only critique concerns the information provided about the location. A street address was provided, but it would have been helpful to know that the venue was located in Eisenhower Park near the aquatic center. Also, you should tell customers that they will need to pay a park fee if they are not residents of Nassau County. Luckily we had some cash with us!

I bought this for my husband's 32 birthday and we both loved the experience. We live here in the city but never get to get out on the water and see the city from the view this boat was able to provide. Though we have both seen the Statue of Liberty, we were in awe of the beauty with the sun setting as its backdrop. We also thought the boat was not to crowded which was nice to be able to sit some and stand/walk around. Towards the end of the ride it got chilly and the boat staff handed out blankets. This was greatly appreciated since it was late June and no one was expecting it to be as cool as it was. Overall the experience was great and highly recommended.

The selection of individually owned stores and the background information on the owners made the tour unusually interesting. All the desserts were outstanding and our reception in the stores was friendly. I really enjoyed the experience.
New York Food Cart Walking Tour
New York Date Night
Jan 08, 2014
By: Patricia P
We will never look at a food carts the same, after taking the Financial District Food Cart's Tour within New York City. Brian was our guide, and did an outstanding job educating us on the various aspects of New York City's tastiest food carts! As one who knows his subject, Brian was witty, knowledgeable and friendly. His enthusiasm was infectious as he led us through the streets of New York's financial district, lending us some very tasty food cart cuisine!
When you think of it, those food carts located within the financial district would likely be the very best, because they, unlike those in touristy Manhattan, survive on repeat/local business (you know...those white collar types who really know what good food is).
Thus, our tour was one we'll remember, not only because of the tasty treats we were given, but because of the wealth of interesting facts Brian provided about the cart's history, what one must go through to even get a cart on the street, the cleanliness factor of the carts, and even the history of many of the characters who operate them.
Our tour was one of the most fun things we did while in The Big Apple (and we visit annually and do lots of stuff). The food from the several carts was tasty (we're not talking hot dogs here), and Brian was the perfect guide, gentleman and entertainer!
Plan to walk a bit...not a tour for those who have difficulty navigating the sidewalk.
We heartily recommend this tour without abandon!

I have been to New York plenty of times, and while this included a lot of history I knew, I still learned a lot. The eateries chosen were very diverse and represented the city well. My tour guide was excellent and friendly. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants a taste of New York City.

Oh I had a great time. We were allowed to help raise the sails. Wow- a lot of fun-but hard work- and there were about six of us helping- LOL!
It was also a beautiful sunny day. And the dark and stormy drinks were also quite good!!!

I bought the Shearwater sailing tour around NY Harbor. We found the dock very easily. However, I had a little trouble finding the boat b/c the sign for it was below sight level. Other than that, we had a great experience. The boat is beautiful and the staff were great. They were very attentive and answered any questions anyone had. It is a very relaxing way to see the New York City Skyline. It was one of the most beautiful days of the summer so that helped to enjoy it even more. I would highly recommend this trip.

This is not a narrated tour so if you want to learn about the sites you are seeing this is not the tour for you. For a great, relaxing evening and picturesque views at sunset and dusk, this is a fabulous trip. Limited seating so come early to secure a spot if you are unable to stand for 2 hours.

I will be recommending Cloud 9 Living to my friends. The booking was easy and the language was clear.
My family very much enjoyed the tour to the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Alex, the tour guide, was friendly and knowledgeable. He met the group in the museum building which had bathrooms and water. The tour was part bus & part walking. The bus was air conditioned and comfortable. There was just the right amount of walking. The Brooklyn Navy Yard has an amazing history and future. The tour provides a great way to learn all about it.

The crew was very pleasant, helpful and knowledgeable. The ship itself was clean, beautiful and unique when you went under the deck. The only issue I would say is the seating is a little scarce, but my girlfriend and I were lucky enough to get the seat we wanted and had a wonderful time!

New York City Lights Sail
New York Date Night
Aug 18, 2012
By: Frank T
Although the weather was absolutely perfect and the view of the city lights was beautiful, the actual experience was somewhat disappointing. The Captain offered no commentary at all. All you did was sit and admire the view of the city lights but you didn't know what you were seeing. For those who were not from the area, the experience could have been enhanced had the captain shared that information. To add credibility to my comment, a fellow passenger asked me what some of the sights were.
On a positive note, the crew did raise the sails and the engine was shut down so the boat was then being powered by the wind and sails. That was a very nice experience for someone who has never sailed before. Additionally, the crew was very friendly and accommodating.

It was a wonderful experience. I came much earlier then required and your staff was nice enough to take care of me and give me my tickets. That was the start of a good time being booked in. Had the pleasure of seeing a wedding unboard your earlier ship. What a beautiful experience, you should adversite more for getting married on the ship.

We had a great time. This staff was friendly and funny. We were highly entertained. The boat was clean and well maintained. We especially enjoyed the bartender. She was very friendly and outgoing. She was mixing drinks that tasted very good, especially the ones with Jamaican Ginger Beer, something we never heard of. We enjoyed ourselves very much.

We truly enjoyed our 2 hour sail on the Clipper City Tall Ship from 7-9pm. The evening started out with a huge thunder storm while we were waiting to board the vessel, and it seemed like the sail would be called off.But because of the expert experience and good judgement of Captain Robert Griffith, we all waited out the storm on the dock, the skies soon cleared, and off we sailed to enjoy a beautiful evening aboard this magnificent vessel. Capt. Griffith and the crew were outstanding and made everyone on board feel relaxed and comfortable. We had a great time, and I have recommended the evening sail to many of our family and friends. Thank you for a most enjoyable experience!
