A Walk Down Mafia Lane - Dennis was an amazing guide. His knowledge of the lower east side and mafia history is encyclopedic. His life story is also fascinating and added a lot of color to the presentation. I am a lifetime New Yorker, but what I learned today about the history of the mafia enterprise in our city Was truly amazing. I recommend this tour to any visitor to New York and to my fellow New Yorkers also.

Would go again - Amazing tour. Loved every part of it. The history Dennis knows is unmatched. On top of that, the connections Dennis has and how nice he is to say we can reach out to him and he will get us a table at certain places is amazing.

Great walking tour - Dennis was our tour guide. What a great experience! We really enjoyed this walking tour and learning some of the stories of the legends of the Mafia. It was also great to hear some of his personal stories from growing up in the area as well as his experiences with the police department. Both of the eating venues were great! My favorite was the pastry shop! I loved hearing their family story! Thanks for a wonderful tour Dennis!

Too many people - They had way too many people on the tour. They need to limit the size for a more enjoyable experience. The guide was knowledgeable but overall the number of people was just too much.
