Excellent Chinatown experience! - Really enjoyed the tour. Perfect combination of history, culture, local knowledge, and food. The tour of the local fresh market was really interesting. Chad clearly loves the area and the food, and conveys his enthusiasm and knowledge perfectly.

PERFECT-Short, Sweet & Fun tour of Chinatown - I went with my teen daughter and we had so much fun learning the history and trying some of the yummy food suggestions along the way. Just long enough for a casual walking tour in July and we got an inside view of Chinatown with Chad! Loved the small group and VIP treatment. Chad also texted us additional suggestions for lunch/dinner options. Thanks for a great tour-we really enjoyed it!

Laid back and tasty - Just finished a tour with Chad. Great laid back walking tour of China town with history and food stops that we would not have found on our own. Suspect I will be going back for more of the food. Definitely recommend.

Chinatown history lesson and food sampling - I liked that this tour did not try to cram in little Italy and Chinatown into one tour. Chad was knowledgeable about the history of Chinatown and took us to three tastings. The first stop had the best baked char siu bao I’ve ever had. The last stop was a good sized slice of a stuffed pancake which was really tasty.

Unique NYC Experience - We were after a more unique New York experience and got it. Chris was very friendly, courteous and knowledgeable. We learned a great deal about Chinatown as far as history and the culture that is specific just to this district. We had our 3 teenage kids who us who were tricked into learning on their Spring Break and did not even mind! The food was great, we went back to get more pork buns after the tour was over!

Average - There was only my husband and I on the tour as no one else signed up On other tours we have taken it is always fun to meet other people from all over So this was a disappointment Usually try more than 3 foods but it was only a 2 hour tour ! Not our favorite tour but tour guide was very pleasant
