Having grown up in the NYC area and lived here for the last dozen years, I didn't think that I could learn much more about Little Italy and Chinatown. Boy was I wrong! Alex, our tour guide, was friendly, informative, engaging and passionate about the food, history and culture of these areas. He started the tour by asking people to introduce themselves, and ended by asking us about our favorite food (the pork buns were the winner). Great way to engage all of us. All of the food was outstanding, and just the right amount so you didn't fill up too fast. There were interesting tidbits about the neighborhoods. You also get a an informative pamphlet with a rundown of the restaurants you visited, fun facts, recommendations about other restaurants in the area and coupons.
I already recommended this tour to both New Yorkers and out-of-town friends who visit frequently. And I plan to take another tour with them.
