Unique experience with delicious food! - Absolutely excellent time! This was my second tour with Ben after doing his Brooklyn sandwich tour last year. The sandwiches were fantastic, Ben remains an awesome storyteller and I was still thinking about the sandwich debate a few days later. This was a great way to spend time in NYC and check out the East Village - will definitely be recommending it to friends who visit town.

You’ve got to do this! - My daughter and son-in-law brought me along for this experience as they have done it 3 times before. I had absolutely no idea that this would be one of the best ways to spend the afternoon in NYC! It was both FUN and DELICIOUS!!! Ben makes this tour come alive with his enthusiasm for sandwiches and food in general. Truly both and unforgettable experience, And unforgettable host!

Come Hungry and Find Hidden NYC Local Gems - I’ve lived in NYC for 16 years and am a major sandwich enthusiast. A hand-held balanced meal! The flavor and texture symphony! The classic sandwich shop vibe! There were many years I had one for lunch every day, never tiring of the format, because it’s wonderfully versatile. In short, I am pleased to be something of a sandwich connoisseur. Therefore, I was curious if this legendary local sandwich tour had any new spots or intel for me. I went in hoping to at least be entertained and meet fellow sandwich enthusiasts. (We are of solid, cheerful stock, I can now confirm.) It’s an excellent team adventure. I brought a couple friends, visiting from other cities. What I got was a fun, delicious educational journey with an expert host, a tour I actually want to do again and bring different sets of friends. We had a wonderful time. Ben immediately had us all laughing together, along with the other folks on the tour we had only just met (some of us exchanged info and will meet again). To my surprise, I’d never heard of most of the tour stops. They were unique NYC gems, off the beaten path. And we had a generous sandwich portion at each: you have to arrive hungry or you will not be able to complete your mission of enjoying all the fabulous flavors along the way! Definitely do this tour, even if sandwiches aren’t your passion: you will learn to love them and also get a true taste of local NYC life. Ben is a natural host and ambassador to the whole city, but particularly the sandwiches that represent our fabulous melting pot.

A perfect blend of culinary delights and neighborhood exploration, showcasing superb sandwiches. - This sandwich tour is an absolute must-try experience. Led by Ben, an exceptional host with deep knowledge of both sandwiches and the local area, this tour stands out as one of the best of its kind. The carefully curated selection of sandwiches and the choice of eateries are nothing short of superb. Ben's expertise shines through in every aspect of the tour, from the informative commentary to the delicious tastings. One word of advice: come hungry. The generous portions and mouthwatering variety will leave you fully satisfied by the end. This tour is a perfect blend of culinary adventure and neighborhood exploration, making it a truly memorable experience for any sandwich lover.

Fantastic experience - Truly special experience in NYC. Go do it, you won’t be disappointed. Great sandwiches and a great host. Highly recommended!

Perfect and educational group activity! - Very fun, educational, and thought provoking! Not to mention delicious as we loved every sandwich that we ate on the tour. A perfect and unique group activity to learn history and a great way to spend the day in the East Village. Highly recommended!

FIVE STARS - for Sandwiches AND Experience! - This tour was wonderful - I've been to NYC many times, and done many tours - and this one was awesome. We had two friends that have been NYC locals for 20 years on the tour with us, and they discovered places that they now plan to visit regularly! The food was delicious (priority #1) and I was STUFFED by the end. The tour guide (Ben) was fun and encouraged lively debate. Ben was also conscious that it was SO HOT and HUMID the day we took the tour and managed to find us shade and AC at every turn. We discovered places we never would have found on our own - and will definitely be going back to next time we're in NY! This tour is a real gem and I highly recommend it for any age! We had kids on our tour and they loved it as well.

10/10 - 10/10 would recommend this tour. Particularly liked the overall approach he takes by challenging us to think about what a sandwich actually is. In addition to tasting the various delicious sandwiches, we got to learn about the cultural and historical aspect of these sandwich shops. Ben is a friendly, personable and witty guy with an unwavering love and passion for sandwich. Can't wait to try out his online sandwich courses as well.

Best Food Tour I’ve Done - Of the half-dozen or so food tours I’ve done in big cities throughout the world this one was the best yet. Ben catered to our vegetarian needs without issue. The food was great throughout, and each stop along the way had a great story associated with it. Ben shared interesting stories about the restaurants and bars, the neighborhood (East Village) and broader city (and about his home Australia too). Good value and fantastic experience. I would recommend this to anyone who loves sandwiches and is interested in learning about the city.

Friendly guide and brilliant tastes - Amazing tour, delicious food, very friendly guide, historical twist. Loved it. The sandwiches feature different cultures and time periods of the city. Could be great to add even more options.
