My boyfriend and I visited NYC and took this tour on a Sunday, in about 20 degree weather. Our guide Alana showed up right on time, was courteous and polite, and took us on a nice adventure through Chinatown and Little Italy. Both my boyfriend and I had spent some time in NYC before (as students) but all of the places Alana took us were places we had never been to before. We visited an Italian dairy market (awesome mozzarella), an Italian bakery (TO DIE FOR cannolis), a fried dumpling shop, a Japanese snack store, and a few other places in between. You get to sample small portions of each location's food.
Our final stop was for lunch at a Thai restaurant (decent Thai, but we've had better).
Overall, I would highly recommend this tour. Alana shared great facts and insight about this area, and it was long enough to learn some very interesting things, but not too long that it felt dragged out.
After the tour, we re-visited the Italian bakery and Fried Dumpling spots to get more goodies!
We booked this tour from a special on the NYC tourism site and we felt it was worth the amount we paid. This is a great way to experience NYC through your culinary senses!
