NYC Gangster and Mob Private Walking Tour

We booked the Little Italy Mob Tour with Mob Tours on NY, and our guide, Tom, made the experience unforgettable. From the moment we met him, it felt like we were walking through the neighborhood with an old friend. He’s a native New Yorker who is warm, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable. You can tell immediately that he genuinely enjoys sharing the history of the city. Over the course of nearly three hours, Tom kept the tour engaging, informative, and moving at the perfect pace. He brought Little Italy to life with fascinating stories about where John Gotti spent time at the Ravenite Social Club, where Crazy Joe Gallo was gunned down, and the many hidden gems and historic buildings along Mulberry Street. His personal stories of growing up in Brooklyn during the 1960s, ’70s, and ‘80s added a unique perspective that you simply can’t get from reading a history book. Our group size was just right, making it easy to ask questions, and Tom never rushed through an answer. In fact, he often expanded on questions with even more interesting stories and insider knowledge. He also shared excellent recommendations for restaurants and other places to visit after the tour, which was a nice bonus. Whether you’re a die-hard mob history fan, fascinated by Little Italy, or just looking for one of the best walking tours in New York City, this experience is worth every minute. It truly felt like walking through Little Italy with someone who lived during the era when the mob was a major part of New York’s history. Thank you, Tom, for an outstanding experience. We’ll be recommending this tour to anyone visiting NYC!

Our tour guide, Tom, was exceptional Shared so much good information about the mob.

We had a great time exploring little Italy and Chinatown. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history and also made a great recommendation for lunch. We would definitely recommend.

Really fun and informative. Bonus if you go-in knowing a little bit of mob history beforehand because the tour includes a LOT of historical names and stories, but Joel makes all of it very entertaining (and has great sound effects).

Our guide was very knowledgeable and took his time showing, and explaining events and people. My husband loved it.

Tom was so informative and energetic. Has a lot of history from the area and mob related. Would definitely recommend

Ray was phenomenal guide! He imparted his incredible depth of knowledge in a personable and engaging manner. He was also able to relate to all three generations of our group equally. The tour exceeded all of our expectations and I have already recommended it to our friends. Thank you for a wonderful walking tour and its fascinating dive into this unique aspect of New York City’s history.

Great tour overall! The guide was so knowledgeable and carefully tailored the tour to our interests. He was engaging and fun to listen to, and we appreciated the photos on his tablet which tied the tour together with historical pictures. We actually did two tours back to back, the second being a tour that led us to Little Italy. I strongly recommend both or either tour! Also, the tour was not just about mobs… he also pointed out architectural and historical points of interest too, which I loved.

Really nice experience, the team loved it, and our guide was amazing. The weather wasn't the best, but we had all the support needed for a situation like this. Thank you

We had the best time with Tom Coca. He was full of great information. Being from a Sicilian family from California, we enjoyed sharing stories and words. His stories were from personal experiences which made it that much better.
