We had a private group tour for about 30 international clients on Thursday, Nov 21. We worked with Josh to set it up and then Matt and Adam as our tour guides. Everything was incredibly easy, ran smooth, and Matt and Adam were wonderful guides. Highly recommend!

My sister and I just did this tour today. Learned about the West Village and visited seven different spots - much more food than anticipated....also delicious and a great variety! Adam was a proud New Yorker and happy to show us his city! Highly recommend this tour- easily enough food for lunch. Might even cover dinner too.

We had an amazing experience on this food tour with Matt. He was so knowledgeable and personal. He made us laugh while telling us the history of the area in a fun way. He said he's an actor and his delivery was spot on. The food was delicious. We were pleasantly full by the end. Our favorite stop was the Cuban and Thai restaurants for empanadas, spring rolls and chicken satay. They really feed you on this tour so come hungry. Walking in between the food places was nice to walk off the calories. Overall, it was a fun activity with an excellent guide. Do it. You won't be disappointed.
