Robin was great. A true story teller that was fun and informative. We had a great time and the food was diverse and delicious. Thanks Robin, you’re a pro. Do this if you get a chance.
Amazing tastings from Japan to Georgia, the Mediterranean. So much delicious FOOD! Don’t miss this food adventure 😎
We toured Hells Kitchen with Alex and had a great afternoon. There was a variety of food along with historical points and history of Hells Kitchen, NY. Highly recommend this experience!
We booked a food/walking tour of the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of Manhattan as company outing. Our tour guide Robin was punctual, friendly and full of local knowledge! She came prepared with photos of "the old days" and explained the pace of the tour up front so we knew what to expect. The restaurants were prepared for our arrival and highlighted the diverse - and VERY delicious - flavors of the neighborhood. Robin was able to keep a large group engaged and moving on a super hot day. In addition to the history of the neighborhood, Robin, a former entertainment journalist, shared interesting facts about the celebrities who called Hell's Kitchen home. Overall, I recommend Manhattan Walking Tours and especially our tour guide Robin. I'd love to take her other tours - Greenwich Village and Lower East Side.
This NYC food tour is an absolute must-do! Every single bite was amazing, but the best part was our tour guide. She was incredibly sweet, welcoming, and knowledgeable, making the whole experience feel like a fun afternoon stroll with a local friend. Highly recommend!

Alex was very knowledgeable about the history of Hell's Kitchen. He wove a coherent narrative - rich with details! The food spots were unique and very tasty! We highly recommend the tour.
Alex was an amazing tour guide and excellent speaker. He made it very entertaining and you can tell he loves what he does. The food stops were all great and we especially loved the cheeseboat! Would definitely recommend this to all.
Tour Guide Alex was fantastic! We ate delicious food and learned a great deal about Hells Kitchen. I would highly recommend this tour.
Cale was so very entertaining and the insiders knowledge of things (because he actually loves Hells Kitchen and spends his time here) is very fascinating. The food was quite yummy and unique but the stories of Hell's Kitchen were the best part!!!
