Corey is a phenomenal tour guide. I had such a great time hearing about the history of the neighborhood … trying spots that weren’t tourist traps either. Genuinely great food and people who worked there. I will certainly be trying more tours of his. Highly recommend!!!!
Thank you for your kind recommendation of Food On Foot Tours. We pride ourselves on only going to non-tourist neighborhoods and local places. We love that you appreciated that.
Corey was our tour guide and is the owner of the tour company. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and took us some great local restaurants and bakeries. We loved every stop!
Thank you. We love that you loved every Food On Foot Tours stop!
Don't think twice, book this now! Unfortunately my wife and I were only able to book this on our last day of our trip, the eating advice given throughout the tour will help you for your whole stay. As of writing this on our final day in NYC, my wife and I canceled our pre booked high end dinner reservations for tonight and will be going back for another bite on one of the tour stops! Corey thank you for your knowledge of the city and your hospitality!
It was so much fun hanging out together and nothing says thank you more than you going back to one of the stops on the same day! Food On Foot Tours
Corey was so insightful, friendly and informed. A delightful way to spend the day learning of the about the delicious food options in Hell's Kitchen.
Thank you Patty. One of the reasons hundreds of our Food On Foot Tour reviews say take the tour early in your stay is because of the useful local information we provide to help guests for the rest of their trip so we are thrilled you not only loved the tour but that you acknowledged the helpful information we provided. So glad you had a great day on the tour!
Nice experience to share, and great places to discover what you can eat in New York. Cory is a thoughtful guide.
Merci!
Great guide and great food. You wouldn’t find this on your own takes out the trial and error. You will enjoy it very much. Thanks!
That's what Food On Foot Tours is all about. Going to local spots most guests would not find on their own. Glad you loved the tour.
We had booked the tour and were very excited. Unfortunately, we were treated a bit like a school class... how we stand, walk and where we have food. That was a bit strange... the places were ok and the food good(especially the taccos), but it was a big group and everything took a lot of time... we wouldn't do it again.
Wir nutzen einen Übersetzungsdienst. Was man als kindische Behandlung empfindet, ist einer der Gründe, warum unsere Touren so beliebt und hoch bewertet sind. Wir legen zu Beginn der Tour lediglich ein paar einfache Regeln fest, wie z. B. keine Gehwege zu blockieren, Vorsicht an Ampeln usw. Dies trägt dazu bei, dass die Tour sowohl für kleine als auch für größere Gruppen reibungslos abläuft. Es geht um Sicherheit und Rücksichtnahme gegenüber den Bewohnern der nicht-touristischen Viertel, die wir besuchen. Es tut uns leid, dass Sie nicht verstanden haben, dass ein paar einfache Regeln die Tour für unsere Gäste einfacher, besser und unterhaltsamer machen. Sie haben auch nicht auf unsere unvoreingenommenen Restaurantempfehlungen gewartet, die ein wichtiger Teil der Tour sind und den Gästen für den Rest ihrer Reise helfen. Bitte lesen Sie bei Ihrer nächsten Tourbuchung die Tourbeschreibung. Um solche Reaktionen zu vermeiden, weisen wir vor der Tour ausdrücklich darauf hin, dass es sich um eine Großgruppentour handelt und es an jeder Haltestelle zu Wartezeiten kommt. Das liegt daran, dass wir im Gegensatz zu anderen Touren eine „Meet & Mingle“-Tour durch die echten New Yorker Stadtteile anbieten. Aufgrund Ihrer Kommentare scheinen Sie möglicherweise falsche Annahmen getroffen zu haben. Wie Sie unseren Bewertungen entnehmen können, stimmen die meisten Gäste Ihnen nicht zu.
This tour was AMAZING. Not only do you get to experience some neat, local food places that you would not likely go to on your own, but the tour really fostered comradery amongst its participants. The tour guide, Cory, was fantastic. He had so much local knowledge and was happy to chat. Recommendation for this tour came from my cousin who did it 10 years ago, and honestly I think the tours have just gotten better! Absolutely would do the tour again next time I come.
Thanks Austin. As you noted, what makes our tours so special besides the great local places is the meet and mingling aspect of the tour. making friends while seeing the real New York is so much fun. Thank you to your cousin from us. it is so nice to be remembered after ten years.
The food was some of the best I have had in New York. I would highly recommend doing this tour. Cory is so knowledgeable and takes you to authentic places
Thanks for taking our Food On Foot Tour and the nice comments. We are so happy you loved the tour. Next time you are here please try out our new local dining pass, Eat Like A New Yorker!
Great tour, tasty food and Cory is a wonderful guide. Got a lot of restaurants recommendations so we can try more food. I getting area Hell’s Kitchen and got to learn some history of the neighbourhood.
Thank you. We really care about our guests both during the tour and after. Food On Foot Tours
