About this tour

This 120-minute New York Pizza and Rats Tour visits neighborhoods including Little Italy, Chinatown, and the Lower East Side, pairing classic food with a closer look at how the city operates behind the scenes.

As you enjoy pizza, your guide shares neighborhood history and explains how restaurant inspection grades, sanitation, trash, and infrastructure relate to rat activity. The experience moves between familiar streets and alleys, offering a distinctive perspective on the conditions that help rats thrive. Pizza is provided, typically half plain and half pepperoni; let the team know about dietary restrictions in advance. The exact meeting location arrives by text after booking.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
