Excellent Tour Experience & Great Food! - My partner and I enjoyed a two person food tour with Jon Noto around East Village/Noho in January 2025. Despite the cold weather, we had a wonderful time with Jon and found him to be very informative on the local food and culture of the city. Each location was thoughtfully included in the tour and all of the food was 10/10!! This tour was a highlight of our trip, especially the pub he brought us to, which we returned to on the following day. It was amazing to visit these hidden gems, meet local vendors and live like a local for a day. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an exciting, informative, unique and fun-filled experience in New York City. A big thank you to Jon and we look forward to taking another tour with City Shuffles on our next trip to the city!

Great food, great tour. - it was easily one of the best experiences of my trip! Jon is knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate. We stopped at several incredible spots, each thoughtfully chosen to showcase the history of the area. I loved how Jon not only explained the dishes, but also shared stories about the area as went. There are definitely a few places that I will go back to! An amazing tour by an excellent guide. I strongly recommend this tour!

10/10 nyc tour - The split pea soup I had was amazing and the dumplings were superb, and the cannolis at the end were out of this world good! Jon kept us dry in the rain because there were so many indoor locations, and the Michael Jackson story at the end was the cherry on top to the whole thing! Highly recommend this down to earth tour with Jon, don’t miss out on this!
