Nolita Perfection

Liz was an amazing guide that kept us on our toes as we moved and ate our way through Nolita. She shared the cultural history of the area and how that history related to all the past and present spots we visited. It was a rainy day which caused no issue. Liz had a couple cancellations but she didn’t cancel the tour, instead we had a private tour. It was wonderful.

Operator response

Thank you so much for this amazing review of your Tasty Global Bites tour with Liz. It makes us so happy to hear you enjoyed it all.

Loved the Nolita Tour!

Loved our tour of Nolita! Our leader, Liz, was able to reroute our itinerary for the day, because of the San Gennaro festival and parade. She did a great job - lots of interesting stories about the neighborhood as well as the owners of the different restaurants we visited. She was very charismatic and seemed to genuinely enjoy leading the tour! Plus - the food selection was so delicious!! I would definitely recommend!

Operator response

Wow, thank you so much for this lovely review! We are thrilled to hear your time on the Nolita tour was enjoyable and we appreciate your patience with the reroutes. It makes us happy to know you enjoyed your tastings. We look forward to hosting you again very soon.
