Amazing guided tour of Chinatown! - Food was amazing but what really made the day was our guide Robert. He is engaging, informative, and talked everything NYC and Chinatown. We love history and the stories about the city during and between food stops exceeded all of our expectations.

Fantastic Chinatown Food Tour - Fantastic tour! Our guide Richard was wonderful, shared lots of interesting history and also personal experience with the area, which added an extra special touch. The food was amazing, definitely some of the best dumplings and steamed buns I’ve ever had. The restaurants were all super welcoming as well, and we were the only tour group at any place. Ver well paced with nice walking around the neighborhood as well. Highly recommend! Definitely 5 stars. Go hungry!

Great food, great time! - We had an awesome time on our food tour with Scott! The food was amazing, the places we went were spots my entire group (including a few New Yorkers) agreed we probably never would've ended up otherwise, and we got a healthy dose of history too! Plus he was more than willing to accommodate the pescatarian in my group and we both left totally stuffed. Would highly recommend!

Great Koreatown food tour - We went on the Koreatown food tour with Robert last week. It was awesome! Robert was a great guide. He knew lots of interesting and fun history. We made 5 stops. The food was fabulous and the portions were huge! My favorite was the cold noodle dish. I would highly recommend this tour

One of the best tours I've been on! - This tour is accurately rated a 5/5 :) Scott was an unbelievable guide who brought the city of New York (specifically Chinatown) come to life. Every place we went, we were greeted with big smiles from the restaurant owners. I am a New York native and learned more than I thought I would. He also brought us to restaurants right under my nose that I would never have known to step in on. Can't wait to check out your other tours, see you soon!

Great tour for someone new to Chinatown - We were part of Meghan's tour group on June 8th. Meghan was very knowledgeable about the food and area. She was also great at maintaining conversations with each group member and making sure we were having a good experience. My favorite stop on the tour was the first one but I did enjoy trying food at the other stops. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to check out Chinatown, but has no idea where to start.

Food & Culture in Chinatown - Robert, our guide, was amazing. His knowledge is immense as is his obvious love and passion for his community. We ate wonderful food that we never would’ve found on our own and we learned a lot about how Chinatown’s rich history and culture has shaped the rest of New York. It was a wonderful experience. So much so, I’ll book Robert again for our next trip.
