Conner was great! They were really knowledgeable and took us to lots of tasty food places in the area, with lots of history and local knowledge shared. We didn't feel rushed at all, but at the same time, there was a good pace and no dead time. Would recommend. I do prefer to have food pre paid for, but paying for it individually does allow one to only buy things that one really wants.

Our guide Cameron was very nice and informative about the area. We learned a fair amount about the history of the area as well as the history of several great food spots. My family and I liked that we had the opportunity to pick our own food on the tour as we could pick and choose what we wanted and were given plenty of time to do so. My only recommendation would be to try to pre-arrange a table at Katz's and include the opportunity to get food there, since it was included in the list we assumed we would get to eat there and were disappointed that we just stopped by outside because of the line. We ended nearby and could have gone back but felt done by that point. Another option would be to have that as the last stop and give the tour members the opportunity to wait to go in if they wanted. Overall a fun experience though.

Cameron was very knowledgeable about the history of the Lower East Side. The food stops were delicious and they all had a good history to them! My belly was full the entire time!
