Best NYC Tour! - I highly recommend Tom and this Tour. He has a deep and authentic knowledge of NYC and shares it in a relatable way. His conversational style of educating his guests makes it easy to remember the information that he shares. He is also clearly deeply connected to the shop owners that participate in his tour, treating them all with love and respect.

Amazing 10/10 Best Food Tour - Tom was amazing. His in depth knowledge and history of the city makes for fun and engaging conversations. He is friends with all the owners so you get the authentic experience. He treats you as one of his friends who is coming in for a visit. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience the real spots of New York.

This is not a mainstream... - This is not a mainstream run of the mill food tour. Tom (our guide) is the owner of the business, lives locally, is passionate about the local history and has a great relationship with the ma and pa’s along the tour. You will meet the real people who put their heart and soul into their food and are willing to share their time talking to you. If you are lucky ( we were) Tom may even surprise you with an extra talent of his 😊Highly recommended

Not to be missed! - Tom personally knows the proprietors of the different stores and restaurants on the tour, and shares anecdotes from his own family food businesses and the history of the neighborhoods on the tour. He makes it a fascinating time.

Best authentic food tour - Tom was an amazing guide through Little Italy and Chinatown. Between history facts, movie references, food fun facts and a music-related surprise, my group had an amazing time! He made it special walking us through this special slice of the city (pun intended). Tom has relationships with all of the mom and pop shops. Support small businesses and book this tour over the other ones!
