Behind each scoop, there is the hardship, vision, and grit of the founders who wanted to make life just a little sweeter for their customers. Some founded ice cream empires, and others were content with a single shop, but all of them are fascinating. While you eat, I will share these stories with you. And you will be eating a lot. There is no other tour where you can try this many types of ice cream. This NYC ice cream tour lets you taste your favorite flavors from world-class ice cream shops that you have never visited. And I gently push you to expand your palette, challenging you to taste flavors that you normally would not get a whole scoop of. After five years running this tour, I know the best flavors at every shop, and love catering the perfect mix of ice creams to the tastes of the group.
