This food tour was amazing, Cale was our guide and was very good at describing all the history of Hells Kitchen. The food choices were superb! The cheese boat was an experience and highly recommend trying. I would recommend this food tour and look forward to doing another one when I visit in November. Cale, thank you so much for spending the time to speak about Hells Kitchen, you were the best!!

Go hungry. It’s a great variety of foods, so give them all a taste, you might be surprised. The guide gives great history of the area, and is very accommodating. Went with a bad back, and she really took care of me. And also, remember to tip, usually $15 - $20 a person is fair.

Alex was great! Very knowledgeable and personable. We would definitely recommend this tour or any other tour led by him.

Excellent tour and guide! Our guide, Alex made this tour top notch! He was so personable and filled with knowledge about the history of Hell's Kitchen...it was so interesting and his anecdotes and trivia on the infamous gangsters of the different time periods were fascinating. Alex brought our tour group of 6 to each restaurant seamlessly with no waiting on tables and our servers being polite and attentive. And the food....delicious! The Japanese BBQ, Indian tiki masala taco, Georgian cheesebread, Mediterranean mezzo, and the Schmackary cookies left us full and happy. A must do experience!

Wow! If you want delicious unique food and a fascinating history of Hell’s Kitchen, this is the tour for you! Our guide, Dave, knew everything about everything and even took the time to show us some cool stuff, like the diner where the idea for Seinfeld was born (across the street from where Larry David lived). The food was plentiful, we were stuffed for the day! This tour is a must-do if you really want to explore NYC in a genuine way!

Kimberly_A, May 2026
This was a fun experience and Alex was a great guide. We loved the history and stories, and most of the food was good. There were definitely some vendors that were not as delicious as others and we were a little underwhelmed by some of them. The experience was overall great and worth doing, but the food was not as good as other tours we have done.
Jessica_B, May 2026
Fantastic visit with Alex- learned so much amazing history and great food! When I originally booked this tour I didn’t realize it was so heavy on history, we loved it! Alex was entertaining and so knowledgable. We absolutely loved the food too! I brought my 14 year old and she said it was the highlight of our trip to NYC. Would 100% do it again.

New York has so much to offer and trying to figure out where to experience great food can be difficult. Taking this tour removes that guess work and provides an amazing opportunity to discover food and history. Our guide, Robin, was nothing short of amazing. Highly recommend!

100/10, it was so fun and our tour guide Jake was hilarious. The food was so good but I really loved getting the whole backstory and history of Hell’s Kitchen!!

Expect not too much walking, a lovely variety of food in hole-in-the-wall establishments, and a tour guide who clearly loves the history of his city.
