If you are sensitive to spices you may want to think through this trip. Very enjoyable and the tour guide Gracie made it interesting but the food can be spicy. Other than that thoroughly enjoyable trip very interesting to see Chinatown and Little Italy.

Excellent little hidden gems to eat at
Need good walking shoes, Chinatown can be hard to navigate footpath at times

Megan was our guide and she was a delight. Lots of great food at little places we never would have found ourselves. Plus lots of good context about the neighborhood and its history.

Traveling on a mother/daughter trip to New York’s China Town in Manhattan. We had a great time with Lance, as our guide on our tour of China Town. The 5 food stops we encountered were all different & overall a great variety of culinary delights! We learned a few tidbits of history along the way as well! We would definitely recommend this tour if you are wanting to experience China Town for history & food.

We went on the ultimate Chinatown food tour with Megan. She was a great tour guide giving us a history lesson and sharing all the tips on navigating Chinatown. It was great to visit places outside of the more well visited areas of Chinatown. Would highly recommend this tour!

Lara was such a fun tour guide. Her knowledge of Chinatown was great. We learned a lot about the area and how it changed over the years. The food choices were perfect. We definitely went off the beaten path with the restaurant choices. The amount of food and the length of the tour was perfect. We would highly recommend the tour and Lara.

Delightful experience eating some very delicious food. We were taken to legit places that felt like getting a real insider's secret on the best places to eat in Chinatown. Our guide was very gracious and hospitable and added extra sunshine to the experience!

Loved our food walking tour of Chinatown. I went with our three adult children and we all loved it. Our guide, Lance, was the best and took us to 5 places we would have never found on our own - he also shared little tidbits of the area as we were walking from place to place. Everything we tried was delicious and their was plenty of food at each stop. Highly recommend.

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.

Lauren was an excellent guide who made the whole experience feel like visiting a local friend who knows all the best spots to eat. We experienced a variety of Chinese restaurants and foods that we never would have found if we hadn’t done this tour. A perfect way to experience a vibrant slice of New York!
