Melissa_B, Feb 2026
Good coverage of three neighborhoods that I was unfamiliar with, especially Chinatown. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and made for a fun afternoon!

A wonderful experience!

Stephen_B, Sep 2025
Our guide Patrick was very knowledgeable about all the 3 neighborhoods that we visited. He was particularly good at explaining the history of each area. He was the best!!!

Adair_N, Jul 2025
Maddie was an excellent tour guide! My 8 year old loved the tour and said “she was sooo nice!” It was good to get an overview of the neighborhoods with some historic details before exploring on our own. Would definitely recommend to anyone on their first visit to this part of NYC!

not great

Jayashree_S, Dec 2024
the lack if energy and enthusiasm by the tour guide really took away from the experience . the places were interesting but the experience was not great

Great tour of Soho, Little Italy and Chinatown

Bob_M, Sep 2024
Our guide on this great tour was Francesca, a very engaging young lady from Italy. She was very entertaining and knew a great deal about these parts of Manhattan. We really enjoyed our tour with Fran and highly recommend it for anyone! Bob an Laura.

The Best Tour of SoHo, Little Italy and Chinatown

Holly_S, Jul 2024
Francesca provided a fabulous tour. She was so personable and the mix of history and local stories made this tour one of my favorites. Also, being from Rome she gave very interesting perspectives on the Little Italy. She recommended two locally owned stores where I got marinara sauces and homemade pasta. I highly recommended Francesca and this tour.

Fantastic Fran!

Lynne_P, Jun 2024
Fran was a fantastic tour guide - it’s was sooo hot but she managed to pace it so we could see everything but have a few breaks too.

Very informative

SimoneWetton_w, Apr 2024
Luke our guide was amazing and super knowledgable. The tour was informative and gave us time to survey our surroundings and also gave us time to buy things along the way!

a little disappointed in the information shared

Patricia_O, Mar 2024
Our tour guide, Connor, was very personable, however we were hoping for some more factual information about architecture and history. The stories shared were a bit long winded (ie the well in the basement of the federalist style building). A quicker story would have allowed for more information on other spots. Connor shared with us that it was his first time doing this particular trip so I would assume he was given the script so we did not hold him responsible. The ipad used to share some historical photos was cracked and difficult to see. The tour exposed us to new neighborhoods, however information was lacking.

Thanks Josh - very informative

Diana, Sep 2023
Very interesting - glad to find out more information about Soho, Little Italy and Chinatown. Thanks Josh

Great tour

Jane_P, Aug 2023
Claire was an excellent guide and introduced us to the neighborhoods with so much information and stories. From the cronut to Little Italy’s cannolis to blood alley in Chinatown, we learned so much and had alot of fun. Thanks Claire and Alex for making the tour so special.

The history and our knowledgeable guide. It was good exercise too. Chinattown was really cool and I’ve been to New York many times and never made it down to this area

Walking tour of Little Italy

George_J, May 2023
Great guide. Showed us best of SOHO, Little Italy and Chinatown. Perfect introduction to South New York

Fun, informative, and easy walk.

deniseculin, May 2023
Josh was a great guide. We had a very informative, laid back, enjoyable walk around the three suburbs. Would definitely recommend.

Personalized tour

Doreen_G, Mar 2023
I appreciated that it was a semi-private tour. It was easier to ask questions and felt more personalized Our your guide, Thomas, made sure he interacted with each person on the tour

Informative & Fun

Tommy_S, Dec 2022
Informative & Fun We had fun time and the tour guide Claire was great. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for something different to do.

Thomas, the ultimate tour guide!

Norm_F, Dec 2022
Thomas was just fantastic. He was vibrant and passionate. He was well informed and knowledgeable. My family and I throughly enjoyed our time on the Soho tour.

A local’s perspective of NYC

Kelly_S, Oct 2022
There were so many but I think to be shown an incredible dumpling restaurant that would otherwise be disregarded was priceless. Elle was so warm and enthusiastic which made each detail of NYC so interesting!

Seeing the city through history

Judith_M, Oct 2022
Buddhist temple, new streets and restaurants, beautiful day to walk thru city streets. Learning about the evolution of neighborhoods thru financial forces, immigration, & cultural and artistic influences.

Very enjoyable

Daniel_K, Oct 2022
It was fun learning about the history of the neighborhoods and how they continue to evolve today. Alex is a great guide. He obviously loves his adopted city. Having traveled all the way from Detroit, we enjoyed joining the others from Germany, England and Italy.

Great tour

Nomsa_N, Oct 2022
Our tour guide Ephraim was great he was knowledgeable on history of the buildings to include the city.

chris_w, Aug 2022
Our guide Efraim was excellent and knowledgeable. He took time to answer questions and gave interesting facts about the neighborhoods we were seeing.

It was an Okay trip! ...

vsmith01, Jul 2022
It was an Okay trip! Probably should find more shade for tourists when stopping to listen to tour guide, as it was very hot that day. No real stops in China town, which I figured there would be. No bathrooms on route and when we got to the end where there was a bathroom, well I definitely don't recommend that at all. Gross! Disappointed that there weren't that many stops in either place, but I guess that's why it's a walking tour. Wear sneakers, that's for sure.

NYC WALKING TOUR

Billy_P, Jun 2022
Christine was very knowledgeable of not only the neighborhoods we visited on the tour but in all of NYC neighborhoods. Very knowledgeable of things to do and notable restaurants.

Waste

Rachel_L, Jun 2022
Went all the way to NYC just to miss the tour. What a waste of time and money. $94 that I will never see again.
