We had the pleasure of having Conner all to ourselves. We were a group of four and spent the most delightful afternoon with Connor. Our stops a unique Jerky shop a quirky bodega, some of the oldest temples in the US, the pickle guy, bialys and bagels, economy candy, Katz's deli and much more. Even better than the food was Conner's wonderful historical knowledge of the Lower East Side and quick wit and kindness. Conner looked out for our welfare and made us laugh. What more could you ask for in a tour guide. I highly recommend this tour. Maybe you will get lucky enough to have Conner as your tour guide.

Gabi was a great tour guide! She really enjoyed her job and shared anything you asked her about. She was respectful and fun. Was very insightful and educational as well. Just the right amount of time.

Lots of fun - the right length of tour with some delicious stops along the way. Gabbi was a food lover with lots of good insight- and the pickles were a real highlight.
