So much food and fun! What a great way to fill up delicious food while learning about the area! Hannah was the bomb!
We went on the Chinatown/Little Italy food tour this weekend. Our tour guide, Hannah, was fantastic. She is extremely knowledgeable about the history of the area and the food and establishments visited. She was friendly and energetic and with her ice breaker, got the group talking and enjoying the tour and learning about each other. The food tasted was all very good! Plenty of food to try.
We had a wonderful walking food tour with Hannah through Little Italy and Chinatown. Years ago, we had a tour with Alaina and absolutely loved it; we even remember many of the stops we went to. Fast forward to 2026, we now have two teenagers and we were excited to take them on this tour. It was a scorching hot NYC summer day yet we enjoyed every minute and every bite of food. Thank you for offering this wonderful small group tour and making it even better than we remembered! Highly recommend!
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.
