Walking tour of Little Italy

George_J, May 2023

Great guide. Showed us best of SOHO, Little Italy and Chinatown. Perfect introduction to South New York

Fun, informative, and easy walk.

deniseculin, May 2023

Josh was a great guide. We had a very informative, laid back, enjoyable walk around the three suburbs. Would definitely recommend.

Personalized tour

Doreen_G, Mar 2023

I appreciated that it was a semi-private tour. It was easier to ask questions and felt more personalized Our your guide, Thomas, made sure he interacted with each person on the tour

Informative & Fun

Tommy_S, Dec 2022

Thomas, the ultimate tour guide!

Norm_F, Dec 2022

Thomas was just fantastic. He was vibrant and passionate. He was well informed and knowledgeable. My family and I throughly enjoyed our time on the Soho tour.

A local’s perspective of NYC

Kelly_S, Oct 2022

There were so many but I think to be shown an incredible dumpling restaurant that would otherwise be disregarded was priceless. Elle was so warm and enthusiastic which made each detail of NYC so interesting!

Seeing the city through history

Judith_M, Oct 2022

Buddhist temple, new streets and restaurants, beautiful day to walk thru city streets. Learning about the evolution of neighborhoods thru financial forces, immigration, & cultural and artistic influences.

Very enjoyable

Daniel_K, Oct 2022

It was fun learning about the history of the neighborhoods and how they continue to evolve today. Alex is a great guide. He obviously loves his adopted city. Having traveled all the way from Detroit, we enjoyed joining the others from Germany, England and Italy.

Great tour

Nomsa_N, Oct 2022

Our tour guide Ephraim was great he was knowledgeable on history of the buildings to include the city.

Awesome Walking Tour

Amelia_J, Sept 2022

Great guid

DiannMoore_M, Aug 2022

His knowledge of areas. Well worth the cost he was very personable. So much to see in that area - places you would never find on your own.

Our guide Efraim was...

chris_w, Aug 2022

Our guide Efraim was excellent and knowledgeable. He took time to answer questions and gave interesting facts about the neighborhoods we were seeing.

It was an Okay trip! ...

vsmith01, July 2022

It was an Okay trip! Probably should find more shade for tourists when stopping to listen to tour guide, as it was very hot that day. No real stops in China town, which I figured there would be. No bathrooms on route and when we got to the end where there was a bathroom, well I definitely don't recommend that at all. Gross! Disappointed that there weren't that many stops in either place, but I guess that's why it's a walking tour. Wear sneakers, that's for sure.

NYC WALKING TOUR

Billy_P, June 2022

Christine was very knowledgeable of not only the neighborhoods we visited on the tour but in all of NYC neighborhoods. Very knowledgeable of things to do and notable restaurants.

Waste

Rachel_L, June 2022

Went all the way to NYC just to miss the tour. What a waste of time and money. $94 that I will never see again.

So glad we did this

technosports, May 2022

Been to NYC several times, but didn't know much about the Neighborhoods. Our guide Cecilia was marvellous. Highly recommend

Our guide was...

Jane_H, Apr 2022

Our guide was enthusiastic and enjoyable. Just believe the tour could have icluded more facts about nteresting buildings and places. The Buddhist temple was a total letdown inside.

Soho, Little Italy and Chinatown

Teia_L, Apr 2022

Had a great guide who gave us a lot of history and information of the different areas. The walking wasn't to bad and was kept to a slower pace which was helpful to some in our group.

Awesome

Dina_V, Apr 2022

Great tour guide Makenzie was awesome very informative! This is a great tour to do!we all liked it very much!!

Wonderful Tour

Richard_S, Mar 2022

Been to NYC more than a dozen times and never had the pleasure of strolling through Chinatown or Little Italy. This tour brought another part if the city to life for us. So glad we were able to do it with Alexis.
