My wife and I had a great time on this tour. Our guide, Gabby, did an excellent job of teaching us about the area, local buildings and of course the local food. Although we are from the NYC area, we were surprised to learn about the immigrants who came to the LES and how the area changed with each immigration wave. Gabby kept the tour moving and allowed us to sample (buy) food at local spots, even fitting in a bathroom break. Highly recommend this tour.
