11/10, no notes. Truly....
11/10, no notes. Truly. Our tour guide Ben was awesome, and we had such a great time. From the moment we met, he instantly put us at ease, broke the ice for the group, and made everyone feel comfortable. We left with big smiles on our faces, a renewed admiration of sandwiches, very full stomachs, and an overwhelming feeling of satisfaction (yes, it was that good of a tour!). This was definitely worth the time and money. Plus, you can definitely feel the passion from Ben as he shares his love and knowledge of sandwiches with others, which was very genuine.
I’m going to recommend this tour to anyone visiting NYC (or living in NYC), especially for those wanted to experience from a different angle.

A sandwich tour to beat all sandwich tours
We had a fantastic experience on our very own private sandwich tour with Stef. A great couple of hours eating delicious sandwiches and benefiting from all of the knowledge our excellent tour guide had. Stef literally knew everything there is to know about a sandwich, as well as local history thrown in too.
We certainly ate in places that we would have otherwise walked past and opened our eyes(and tastebuds) to New Yorks hidden gems.
Thanks for a brilliant afternoon.

Viva la Sandwich!
Much like a sandwich, this tour is layered. Come hungry and ready to debate (in a friendly way) as Ben, your amiable host, guides you on a culinary tour of the East Village.
Can't wait to see what they have planned for the 2026 World Cup!

The best food comes in between bread 🥪
What an amazing afternoon had with Ben, a man totally devoted to the humble sandwich. The tour was not rushed and we felt relaxed and comfortable in the group, all sharing our own experiences of New York and beyond. Stopping off at points to eat our sandwiches and soak up the atmosphere of the East side of New York. We would highly recommend this experience.
Thanks for a memorable experience Ben.

Delicious and unique tour
We don’t usually take food tours, but so glad we did this one. Tim was very knowledgeable, and his love for sandwiches was clear! All the food was delicious (3 half sandwiches was more than enough for each of us) and we loved their focus on supporting small businesses. Highly recommend.

An Unforgettable Sandwich Tour with Ben in New York
Ben’s New York sandwich tour was incredibly helpful. He was extremely kind and felt like a “sandwich ChatGPT” who knew absolutely everything about sandwiches!
We were also lucky enough to have a private tour, and it felt like he carefully selected sandwich spots based on our personal taste preferences. Since it was our first tour in New York, it was such a great opportunity.
As sandwich shop owners from Korea, Ben’s philosophy on sandwiches was truly inspiring and valuable to us. I would definitely recommend this tour to any friends visiting New York in the future!
It was absolutely worth the money, and we were incredibly full by the end of the tour.

Really fun (and tasty!) sandwich adventure
Ben and his team were phenomenal! We had a private tour for my husband’s birthday and they joined the group like we had known them for years, which made the whole experience really enjoyable. Not only got to great sandwiches, but also learned the history behind them, and engaged in friendly group debate about how we define a sandwich. Highly recommend!
