One of the best food tours, and great stories everywhere we went

This tour is definitely worth taking, especially with Cale, whose encyclopedic knowledge of the history and culture of Times Square, Central Park, and Hell’s Kitchen was impressive. He had great stories everywhere we went. And the food tour was one of the best I have ever taken: a wide range of ethnic cuisines, well chosen for quality and creativity, all delicious.

Worth it!

Jake was a fabulous guide! Having spent most of the day with him during our Times Square, Hell's Kitchen and Central Park tour, my daughter and I were so impressed with the knowledge he was able to share with us. I highly recommend the tour and ask for Jake!

Amazing Tour and Guide

Cake was an amazing tour guide! I have taken dozens of tours and I know how hard it is to come across a tour guide who is interesting, fun, and knowledgeable. He knew the history of the buildings, the areas, and the restaurants we visited. I definitely recommend this tour and try to get Cale, if you can!

5 Stars from Solo Traveller

I did the triple combo tour of Times Square Hells Kitchen and Central Park hosted by Jonathan. As a solo female traveller I highly recommend this tour and Jonathan to anyone. The food choices during the HK tour were fantastic and a great variety and association to the NY history of the area. Jonathan is very knowledgeable of NY history and made the day so enjoyable. I was initially hesitant in booking walking tours as I thought I largely knew a lot of NY history. I am more than pleased with my experience. I also need to provide an extra shout out to Jonathan saving me from being hit by a speeding car. Many thanks
