Great tour in Chinatown

The food and history were fun! Chinatown can be hectic, not to everyone’s taste, but we enjoyed it. And our guide Solange was delightful!

Historical Food Tour

Come hungry because you’ll leave stuffed. Everyone in our group commented on how full they felt. We got to try ten different places. They were all delicious and authentic. The historical tidbits strewn throughout the tour were interesting. Patrick was informative and very friendly. We want to try another of their food tours the next time we visit. Overall, A+ experience.

Learning and eating!

Patrick did a great job on this tour. Each place we went to was ready for us. Patrick provided a lot of historical context for China Town and Little Italy. It was a very hot day and Patrick was very good about trying to keep us cool.

A Great Way to Explore Chinatown and Little Italy

What a great way to explore Chinatown and Little Italy. All of the food stops were excellent, and every tasting was delicious. This tour was the perfect mix of history, culture, and amazing food. Our guide, Patrick, was outstanding. I especially appreciated how well he interacted with my children, ages 10 and 12, answering their questions and making them feel like an important part of the experience. We loved the stories about the Dragon River and tap dancing. We highly recommend this tour!

History, hearty portions and huge flavors!

Our guide Liz was genuinely wonderful; informative, enthusiastic and kind. The food was delicious and the portions more than generously sized! Food tours should always offer ‘famous’ local items as well as introduce you to dishes you would not have necessarily have ordered on your own. This tour has both. Highly recommended

Great experience of the tastes and history of Chinatown and Little Italy!

In NYC to celebrate my 70th birthday with my sons. This tour was recommended to me by a friend and was the best ever! Our guide, Liz, made the experience wonderful for all of us! She was so much fun and knows her stuff on the history of Chinatown and Little Italy. The places we went to had scrumptious tastings, and there was ample time to sit down and enjoy. The walking parts were not excessive and it was great to get to know folks in the group. Great mix of fun and learning some history in a very memorable way! Liz gets top stars for this tour!!!! We all loved it!
