Wonderful experience! Alana was animated, knowledgeable, and caring. One of the best guides we have ever had. Food delicious! Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review of your time on tour with Alana. She is the OG guide and is definitely the best at what she does. We hope you come back on another foodie adventure.
So much food and fun! What a great way to fill up delicious food while learning about the area! Hannah was the bomb!
Thanks so much for this lovely review. We agree, Hannah is totally the bomb! We look forward to seeing you again on another foodie adventure.
We went on the Chinatown/Little Italy food tour this weekend. Our tour guide, Hannah, was fantastic. She is extremely knowledgeable about the history of the area and the food and establishments visited. She was friendly and energetic and with her ice breaker, got the group talking and enjoying the tour and learning about each other. The food tasted was all very good! Plenty of food to try.
Thank you so much for this lovely review. We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your time on tour with Hannah. We hope you come back and visit us again on another foodie adventure.
We had a wonderful walking food tour with Hannah through Little Italy and Chinatown. Years ago, we had a tour with Alaina and absolutely loved it; we even remember many of the stops we went to. Fast forward to 2026, we now have two teenagers and we were excited to take them on this tour. It was a scorching hot NYC summer day yet we enjoyed every minute and every bite of food. Thank you for offering this wonderful small group tour and making it even better than we remembered! Highly recommend!
Wow!! Thank you so much for coming back to visit after all this time. I guess we could say we all grew together and it truly warms our hearts to have you come back with your teens. We hope you come back and visit as we continue to celebrate more years together.
Loved her narrative and historic knowledge. She also had much experience in culinary history and customs.
Thanks so much for this great review. We hope you visit us again very soon.
Lily was spectacular - more enjoyable even than the food! Her knowledge of the development of these communities in NYC was impressive and obvious love of her city.
Wow, thanks so much for this spectacular review. We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed your time with Lily.
I really enjoyed all the places we visited! Liz is very organized and enthusiastic! She gave us an overview of the tour as we sipped tea at the first cafe. As we travelled to each of the eight stops, she did a great job educating us on the history of both Little Italy and Chinatown in the early years of immigration to the present. She is very knowledge about the food and the regions they represented! I learned a lot in the three hours we spent together. Highly recommend!
Wow, thanks so much for this awesome review. We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your time with us.
Liz was very bubbly and excited for the tour!! Great food choices and took her time to explain about the foods.
Thanks so much for this lovely review. We are happy to hear you enjoyed the food and your guide.
Great Food and Great History of Little Italy and Chinatown. Food was great and supported restaurants that have been in this area for Generations. Patrick was a great guide and very knowledgeable. We learned a lot and never felt rushed.
