Great Tour Of Hell's Kitchen with Robin!

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.

Great food Great stories

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!!!
