Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Laura was wonderful and very knowledgeable. We learned a ton and highly recommend her. "
"Earl was fantastic and we had a great time on the tour he has a great knowledge of NY and the history Highly recommend him as a guide"
"We booked the 10 stop tasting tour of Little Italy but before we arrived Earl suggested splitting it between China town and Little Italy which was fantastic news as that’s what we wanted to do. Earl’s communication before the trip was great and directions clear. We had an absolutely fantastic time exploring both areas and Earl was a fountain of historic knowledge wherever we went. It was great that it wasn’t just about the food but we really got a feel for the history of these areas and went to places there’s no way we’d have visited other wise. Each food option was absolutely delicious with a fantastic variety of savoury and sweet. Couldn’t recommend more. Thank you Earl! "
"Our family had a lovely afternoon with Earl eating delicious food, exploring unique parts of the city, and learning the historical details of the areas. We did half Chinatown/half little Italy, which made for a diverse food experience! I would highly recommend Earl as your guide! He did a wonderful job."
"Earl's NY knowledge is wide and deep. We much appreciated his generosity in tailoring the tour to our particular needs and interests. He's great company too. Thanks too for the NY style pizza you treated us to in Little Italy, Earl! "
"Earl was amazing! He has an in-depth knowledge of the city and the best historical establishments to both taste and learn about! We loved it and next time we're in NYC, we will go again with him! "
"Laura's guided tour of New York City was an outstanding success, leaving an indelible mark on both of our clients. Her dedication to providing a memorable and enriching experience is a testament to her skills as a tour guide. As a travel agent we will always keep in touch with future guests, and for anyone seeking to explore the wonders of New York City, under Laura's expert guidance. You will not be disappointed. Thanks again! Chevy S. Noratli"
"My daughter and I had a wonderful time exploring Chinatown and Little Italy with this very personable and knowledgeable guide. Earl was perfect - he gave us much insight into the history of the areas we visited and engaged in discussion about so many things. There was not one dull moment! I would highly recommend having Earl show you around - even though I have lived in the City previously I learned so much! Thank you Earl! "
"Laura showed us all around Midtown and taught us a lot about the city and buildings. She was responsive to our questions and added an additional sight to the tour she thought we would like based on what she learned about us. She took us into places we hadn’t explored before and shared the history of each. She offered to provide recommendations for other places to visit or eat and made herself available for questions even after the tour was over. She was warm, funny, and personable. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with her!"
"Earl gave us a tour tasting bites from Chinatown and Little Italy. We had quite a selection of different tastes representing both cuisines. We liked everything and were pleasantly full at the end and even had some leftovers for later snacks! He also took us around the neighborhoods and taught us about some historical sites as well as cultural events. We even walked on the Brooklyn Bridge some too. We’d happily join Earl again for another tour!"
