Loved her narrative and historic knowledge. She also had much experience in culinary history and customs.
Lily was spectacular - more enjoyable even than the food! Her knowledge of the development of these communities in NYC was impressive and obvious love of her city.
I really enjoyed all the places we visited! Liz is very organized and enthusiastic! She gave us an overview of the tour as we sipped tea at the first cafe. As we travelled to each of the eight stops, she did a great job educating us on the history of both Little Italy and Chinatown in the early years of immigration to the present. She is very knowledge about the food and the regions they represented! I learned a lot in the three hours we spent together. Highly recommend!
Liz was very bubbly and excited for the tour!! Great food choices and took her time to explain about the foods.
Great Food and Great History of Little Italy and Chinatown. Food was great and supported restaurants that have been in this area for Generations. Patrick was a great guide and very knowledgeable. We learned a lot and never felt rushed.
Had a great time! Food was awesome, but the guide was the best part. She was funny, knowledgeable, and energetic. Would highly recommend.
Thank you so much for this great review. We love that you enjoyed yourselves and feel so proud that the best part was your guide. That truly means so much.
We had such a great day in Chinatown and Little Italy. Our guide was super sweet and informative. The food was spectacular!!
This was an all around fantastic experience! We got to taste things we wouldn't have normally tasted and had a really great time. Liz was an enthusiastic and informative guide who provided excellent information and insight into the areas we visited. Heads up, pace yourself when starting this tour as you start out with a delicious pork bun that's rather large! The price was decent compared to other tours I checked and it ran approximately 3 hours as advertised. Each establishment we visited was incredibly welcoming and inviting (even if they were crowded for lunch). We had a smallish size group which was really nice. There were 9 of us total. I'd say it's probably best for older teens and up as there is a lot of information given that might not interest a young crowd.
Wow, thank you so much for this excellent review! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed yourselves and your time with your guide. We hope you come back and visit us.
Lily was truly amazing. She gave a phenomenal presentation with lots of history along with the great food tasting from chinatown and little Italy. The eggplant rollatina was the best!!! Definitely will use Aloy again!!
Patrick was friendly, knowledgeable and fun! We learned a lot about the area, ate some tasty bites and really enjoyed it.
