First and foremost - this was a terrific tour and a great value. Mike knows the businesses and history, and he's good with a group. We tasted cannoli, a fresh pasta with homemade marinara, fresh mozzerella with prosciutto, a couple of fantastic Italian cheeses, and some olives in Little Italy. We learned a lot about the history of Little Italy and about the families that built the businesses we visited.
In Chinatown, we got to taste some fantastic food, including the best egg rolls and steamed pork buns I've ever eaten (and I like egg rolls and steamed pork buns)! Again, there was plenty of history of the area and the families whose businesses we visited. We got to walk right past some long lines, which was a real treat.
For us, one of the most valuable parts of the tour is that we won't need to do it again. Ahoy provided us with tour programs that included a bunch of recommendations and some coupons. We came back the next day and visited several businesses that we had passed by on our tour, and we were perfectly comfortable finding them again.
In addition to the information provided, Mike told plenty of amusing anecdotes and engaged each of us personally. The tour group wasn't too large - thirteen people, which felt quite manageable.
