Great way to see Little Italy and Chinatown. - We had a nice and informative walk with Jon. He showed us many places of history and very tasty places to grab a cannoli or a slice of pizza. I was able to see the apartments that my grandfather lived at when he arrived from Italy. We got to see points of interests where movies were made including the Godfather. I would highly recommend this tour. Thank you so much Jon!
