My 2 teenage daughters and I wanted to do a food tour while visiting New York and after looking into different options we chose Danteās Lower East Side tour and were very pleased we did!
Danteās tour groups are small (Max 12 people) and Dante does a great job of engaging everyone. He has an easy, relaxed manner that makes you feel like youāre being shown around by a friend.
We found Dante was very knowledgeable and entertaining and obviously enjoys his job. The tour we did was a great way of experiencing not only the food, but also learning about the history and culture in a part of the city that is less touristy.
The 8 food stops were all unique, delicious and carefully chosen to allow you to experience local foods that most of us would not otherwise have found. The amount of food is also perfect. We finished the tour feeling like weād eaten more than enough but not like weād over-eaten.
When I asked my 14yo daughters what they liked about the tour their comments included āDante was really nice and really funnyā and āit was great how you learned about the history of the food and the area, as well as got to try all the yummy foodā.
We found Danteās tour was excellent value for money and would highly recommend it to anyone, especially families.
