Little Italy - Official Historic District Tour

Yesterday, my wife and I had an excellent tour of Little Italy with the talented guide Ramona. She shared fascinating anecdotes and details about the neighborhood. A highly recommended tour.

Our tour guide Ramona was great. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. And i loved and was impressed by her period clothing that she sewed herself. We were lucky that it was just i and a friend, as some other attendees canceled at the last minute. Both of us are of Italian heritage and my friend's mom actually lived on Mulberry Street. We walked all over Little Italy starting at Canal Street and going up and down Baxter, Mulberry, Mott and Elizabeth streets. We asked lots of questions and contributed to the conversation since it was just us two. I don't know the maximum size of this tour however i would recommend it be kept small due to the narrow sidewalks and the amount of people on a Saturday afternoon walking through that area. Later on we booked the Catacombs by Candlelight tour through Tommy's and were guided by none other than Tommy himself. When we told him we were on the tour with Ramona, his face lit up and he said she was a real find.

Brilliant tour with Ramona, it was really interesting! She has such a passion for history and tells the stories with enormous enthusiasm. It was freezing cold, but so worth it! Thank you Ramona!

So interesting to walk the streets and hear the history and stories from our amazing guide RAMONA. She’s all dressed up in period costumes and knows everything about the area. We did a couple of tours with her. Excellent. Be sure to tip her as she’s a real gem 💎

Hello, I'd like to express my sincere gratitude for the attentiveness and dedication of our guide, Ramona, during our tours of Little Italy and Chinatown. Her passion for her work inspired us, making our trip to New York even more enjoyable. Thank you, Ramona!

Took this tour as part of our Go City pass. Really easy to arrange and our tour guide Ramona was fantastic. The tour was very informative and Ramona made it come to life. Little Italy seems to have shrunk over the years, but still lots of history, especially about the Italian immigrants and their stories. The tour is very easy to walk with no issues even for those with disabilities. Ramona shared some interesting insights and we took her advice on a certain gelato cafe, which we visited after the tour and had a fabulous time enjoying delicious gelatos and learning about the family business history. Well worth the money and would recommend.

We had a fabulous tour of little Italy by Ramona. She was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We learnt a great deal about the history of the area and italian migration and visited some fantastic sites along the way. It was just myself and my partner and a very rainy day but she kept it engaging and fun throughout.

Thank you Ramona we thoroughly enjoyed your tour. You were passionate, knowledgeable and highly informative. We really enjoyed our 90 minutes with you, thank you, Nev and Hannah UK

Ramona is an energetic, lively, likeable, and knowledgeable character who adds to the fun experience with her charming, period hand made costume.

I had a guided tour alone with Ramona. She has an excellent command of her subject, and the tour was very rewarding. I highly recommend her.
