Food tour with Rose
Come hungry! This tour gives you plenty to eat. There is sponge cake & tea drink, 4 dumplings, large slice of pizza, & drink of choice ending with a mini canoli. The food was great as was the tour guide & the history of the areas we saw.

Perfect food tour with William!
William was an incredible guide for our food tour! Full of great info: history, food, theater, pretty much everything! The tour itself was exactly what we wanted: four food stops to get a taste of Chinatown and Little Italy coupled with an enormous amount of info about the neighborhoods themselves. William also gave us recommendations for other restaurants that weren’t part of the tour so we can come back later and try them. Great bang for the buck!
Operator response
Thank you so much! We’re glad you had such a great time with William. We really try to combine great food with the history and character of Chinatown and Little Italy, so it’s great to hear you enjoyed both. Hope you get a chance to check out some of William’s other recommendations too!

Food walking and history tour all in one
William was a great tour guide, a great walking history of that part of NY - the movie locations, the immigrant history, the food and store histories. Very fun and engaging guide who goes out of his way to make it a good experience. Full of great ideas about NY life.
Operator response
Thanks for joining us! We’re really happy you enjoyed William’s mix of food, history, and stories about the neighborhood. That combination is exactly what we want the tour to be about. Thanks again for the great review!
