      Tasty bites with a history lesson

      "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! "

      Wonderful experience!

      "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."

      A wonderful day exploring NYC with Earl!

      "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! "

      Yum! And histoy too!

      "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!"

      A Fun and Delicious NYC Sandwich Tour

      "Ben was fantastic and made the NYC sandwich tour such a fun and memorable experience for our clients. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and shared great stories about the city along with the food, which added so much value to the tour. The pacing was perfect, the sandwich spots were excellent, and he made sure everyone felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout. Our clients truly enjoyed the experience and came back raving about both the food and Ben’s energy. Highly recommend him for anyone looking to explore NYC through its iconic sandwiches!"

      Excellent tour

      "The tour was very well organised and the spots we stopped at were amazing. Earl was a great guide; he was very friendly and really took the time to show us everything (which was nice because we where able to visit quite some spots without feeling rushed). If you’re in New York and you want to discover its food while also learning about its history and culture, definitely book this tour! "

      "Earl was a fastic guide. Wandering the streets of little Italy and Chinatown, his tour was full of local history and amazing food. Food, that we simply, would never have found on our own. With his great knowledge and tips for the rest of our stay in New York City, I simply can't recommend Earl, and his tour enough."
