I recently took the Little Italy, Greenwich Village, Soho & Chinatown Private Tour in New York City with my family, including two teenagers, and it was absolutely fantastic. Robin, our guide, was knowledgeable, engaging, and incredibly good at capturing everyone’s attention—including the teens, which is no small feat! She shared fascinating stories and little-known facts about each neighborhood, making history come alive in a way that was fun and memorable for all of us. We loved exploring the vibrant streets of Chinatown, the rich heritage of Little Italy, the charm of Greenwich Village, and the stylish corners of Soho. The guide also had great recommendations for food and hidden gems along the way. If we had tried to do this on our own with just a travel guidebook, it would have taken forever and we never would have discovered so many unique details. Having an expert lead the way made all the difference. This was the perfect way to see some of New York’s most iconic areas through the eyes of a true New Yorker. Highly recommended for families who want an authentic and engaging experience!
Robin is an incredible guide and her knowledge has given me an exceptional understanding of these amazing areas. Her knowledge of history made so much come alive that I would have walked on without knowing if hadn’t done her tour.
