Exceptional NYC experience. - The food and history walking tour gave us a "local" feel. We explored parts of new york (away from times square) we never would have alone, Nick our tour guide was fun and helpful. A must. And would do it again.

A deeper look into an area you thought you knew - While we’ve visited Little Italy and Chinatown before, we didn’t know the history or the stories behind these neighborhoods. Nick was really knowledgeable and passionate about the places on the tour and he showed us these areas in a different light. We also enjoyed the Eldridge Street Synagogue - beautiful restoration… and the pork buns!
