Per one customer who booked the NYC: Chinatown & Little Italy Food Tour with 6 Flavorful Dishes, "I've taken food tours all over the US, and this was literally one of the best I've ever been on! Renee was a dream! She was informative, personable, and so kind! She shared so many tidbits and suggestions! She is literally a dream guide! The variety of samples made this a well-rounded opportunity to sample all kinds of foods with ample quantities. The walking tour itself had incredibly rich historical context. Seeing both territories created a really robust experience. Could not recommend this tour with Renee more!"
