My wife and I very much enjoyed our tour of Little Italy with Vince. This was our first visit to NYC and he certainly provided an outstanding and humorous introduction to the local area. Vince's knowledge of Little Italy's history and food is unmatched. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m thrilled to hear you enjoyed your Little Italy tour with Vince. He loves sharing the history (and food stories!) of the neighborhood, and we carefully handpick each food stop to make the experience special. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again on another tour!
This is an excellent tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable, funny, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout. Food selections were spectacular and our guide made great accommodations for our needs and gave us wonderful options when a stop we wanted to see is closed on Mondays. I would highly recommend this tour 10/10.
Hi Frank, thank you for your review. We love to provide the most delicious tours and we are glad that you liked it. :)
Our excellent guide, Vince, kept us entertained with great stories and history. The food was good but not excellent... But I would definitely recommend it!
This tour was oustanding! I would highly recommend it. There is so much knowledge, and history in Little Italy. We visited places that have been in the same family for over 100 years. We tasted amazing food, and could not help going back and purchasing what we sampled. Our tour guide, Vincent, was truly amazing!!! He is a native of NYC, and an extremely knowledgeable tour guide. We learned so much history, and enjoyed his sense of humor. Thank you again for a great Sunday Birthday celebration. We had a blast!
We took this tour on Sunday, Dec 15th and had a great time. Vince, our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed the mix of both food and history and would recommend this to anyone wanting to learn about Little Italy and experience some of the food.
The tour was amazing. Our guide Liam was a wealth of knowledge and answered all our questions. The food was outstanding and the people we met were genuine. We would recommend to anyone.
Hi, we are happy to know that the tour went well with you and our guide Liam. We hope to see you in our other tours as well. We always aim good service for our guests with a superb experience. Thank you!
This trip was one of the highlights of our NY trip. The guide was delightful, charming, funny and so very New York! We went places we never would have ventured on our own. The food was outstanding and the history of the food and buildings and neighborhood was priceless. My only regret is we did this on our last day instead of earlier. This felt like a real New York experience and as a huge fan of The Godfather movies, I knew just where we were as we visited places I had seen only in the movies. We had ages 15 to 67 in our group and we loved being in Little Italy. Makes me want to go back and do it again.
Hello, Rhonda! We are pleased and happy to know that you enjoyed the tour. We always aim to be better and provide good service to all our guests. Thank you!
Our guide never turned up. No response from the contact us form and still waiting on a refund. Pretty disappointing.
Hello, Leigh. Thanks for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry your experience didn’t match your expectations. It was an uncommon instance and we’ll do better in the future.
Loved the different places we got to see . Wish there was some more variety including eggplant . Sponge cake and pizza were the best
We had a lovely tour. We had some very rare experiences and got a good bit of history with our food tasting!
