“This was such a great family activity. My husband and I brought our sons (13 and 21). Everyone loved it and Leaf was fantastic. A great teacher, personable and funny. We would highly recommend.”

“I was a bit disappointed with this tour having read the reviews. The museum itself is 1 very small room and the guide we had - to be honest - really didn't do anything. We were shown a video, then he explained a few items maybe 4 and then gave us a headset to explore ourselves. This trip is advertised at 2 hours - we did it in 1 hour and didn't leave anything out!! It's a cheap visit and the photos are amazing and very moving - but if you're going to the 9/11 museum I wouldn't bother with this one.”

“Very fun experience. And you get a unique piece of art that you made to take home as well! The teacher was fun and helped us out when needed but also let us make some creative decisions.”

“This was the second time I did this class and there’s a huge difference according to the teacher. First time was so great with a teacher that helps us by correcting our posture, she took the time for each of us. And the class actually lasted 1h30. The second time I did this class was ok but disappointed. The teacher went very fast for a yoga class, it lasted barely one hour, which is annoying as we paid for 1h30. We were only 4 attending the class and I felt like she hasn’t take the time for us at all. Otherwise the concept is really nice especially when there’s a…”

“I enjoyed this tour a lot! The photographer was personable and professional. I learned many techniques. We visited many areas around the city, and I got the chance to take pictures of people, objects, scenery, and buildings using the techniques I learned. The experience was amazing!”

“Would like to make the dough. Time was filled well. Enjoyed seeing the whole process of how bagels are made. Will definitely try this at home. Would have liked to receive recipes at the venue.”

“Everything was perfectly organized: clear instructions, great timing, a comfortable ride, and so many interesting facts. Ricky knows the history of Central Park inside out, adds humor, and stops at the best photo spots. He’s a true professional who genuinely loves what he does and makes every guest feel special. If you want to discover Central Park through the eyes of a local expert choose Ricky!”

“Great experience! Oliver and Danny made everything so simple, so that we made sushi ourselves and enjoyed the most tasty meals!”

“I have completed several Aperture tours across the globe. I decided while in New York to work with someone locally and was so happy I did. David Castillo was absolutely world class to work with. He was so kind, helpful, informative and I learned a lot with him not only about photography but New York City. I would highly recommend this tour and if you the privilege to work with David, it will be a memorable photography evening out! Thanks again Aperture and David.”

“Wonderful experience, very professional class and a mix of locals and tourists made it very special with a very warm welcome”

“Le cours était incroyable!!!! Je le referais sans hésiter !!!”

“My husband loves to cook and bake so this was perfect. We made enough bagels to take home 12 with us. I had two for breakfast and they were awesome. Sam loves what he does and it shows. The time went by fast. My bagels were delicious. The history of bagels was even very interesting. You get to actually roll and form the bagels, then get to boil them before you coat them in your choice of various seeds or seasoning. Then they get baked. Before you leave with your fresh bagels, Sam and Reva cook up the odd extra bagels to serve us with various spreads and of course…”

“It’s was a great experience. Mary and Nonni were excellent hosts, very warm and welcoming. Our group enjoyed hanging out, preparing the meal and then, of course partaking in the meal. That night felt like a warm hug as we all sat around the table enjoying each others company and listening as Mary and Nonni shared their stories of living in New York.”

“We chose this class for a birthday celebration/date night and had the best time! Our Cozymeal chef made the experience really relaxed and informative and we learned a lot while having so much fun. I would absolutely book again!”

“Outstanding - learned technique making the ricotta crostini, gnocchi, and tiramisu. Chef Jamie was warm, engaging, and knowledgeable.”
