I’ve lived here for a few years for work, though I’m gone most of the time. Normally just wander on my own. Joined the tour with friends and had a real great time. Perfect blend of good food, great company and an excellent tour of Little Italy. Bert was top notch. I couldn’t recommend this more for tourists and people like me who are in and out for work and may have a short time for a tour. When family and friends visit this will definitely be on all future itineraries.

Jackie was an amazing tour guide on the Little Italy and NOLITA Connection tour! Lots of great food and good balance between sitting and standing/walking. Big portions and more food than you’d expect on a tour.

Great food and history tour of Little Italy NYC. Really enjoyed the pizza at Emporio and the Spanish Market Despana. Also had a great walking tour around the neighborhood.
