A very interesting multi-ethnicity food excursion combined with rich and nuanced information about the local area. Even as a native New Yorker I learned facts I did not previously know. Dave, our guide, was knowledgeable, and took pleasure in introducing us to places and things he enjoyed.
The tour guide was very knowledgeable, fun to chat with, and every food stop was excellent. We did three food tours and this one was definitely the best !
We had a great experience with Hell's Kitchen food tour. Easy to locate met up spot. Robin was ready to show us the local vibe and eats. She provided Interesting histories, neat local stories, pointed out historic buildings, and had some people watching too! We experienced Asian, local cookie treat, Mexican, Georgian, and Mediterranean! I enjoyed them all but Cheeseboat (Georgian) is one of my new favs! Will go back given the chance to tryout Robin's other recommendations on or near Restaurant Row.
Our guide Robin was fantastic who was very knowledgeable and visited delicious venue to experience the food.
Robin our guide was very welcoming and provided fantastic information of Hell's Kitchen. Recommend this tour.
Hells Kitchen is a fascinating NYC neighborhood with an amazing variety of cuisines. Jake, our tour leader, is very knowledgeable and personable. He guided us through the history and the rich sampling of cuisines with great skill. We highly recommend the tour.
We Loved Alex so much !!!! He was so kind and had so many amazing stories !!! 10/10 would recommend. The food was also amazing
Go hungry. It’s a great variety of foods, so give them all a taste, you might be surprised. The guide gives great history of the area, and is very accommodating. Went with a bad back, and she really took care of me. And also, remember to tip, usually $15 - $20 a person is fair.
Alex was great! Very knowledgeable and personable. We would definitely recommend this tour or any other tour led by him.
Highly recommended tour and guide for the stories and getting to know the history of Hell’s Kitchen and NYC. The food sequence and selections could be better. First, when you get you cookie at the second stop - SAVE IT -DONT EAT IT UNTIL THE END. Nonetheless, eating it second did not overwhelm the Taco Majal - delicious. The Georgian cheese boat was interesting but cheesy and SALTY. The last stop was Mediterranean pita, hummus, tzatziki and stuffed grape leaves - would have preferred tasty pastries with an espresso to finish. Despite the need for improvement, Alex saved the tour with his stories.
