Great day with Claire! - We took a Hells Kitchen tour with Claire Buckinham and I highly recommend her. Claire was engaging,entertaining, quite knowledgeable about the history of NYC, and a real joy to have as a tour guide. The food is interesting and plentiful. We added a tour of Central Park which was lovely. Book the tour, but be sure to request Claire as your guide!

Top guide for a Great Hell’s Kitchen Food Tour - Our guide Alex’s charismatic personality took us on a fascinating visit in Hell’s Kitchen. Learning the whole history of the area while tasting food in the selected restaurants was so interesting as well as a palate adventure. A lot of good fun. We continued on to visiting Central Park West where Alex pointed out to several otherwise unnoticeable details on statues, benches , steel marker … loved the whole tour combination and certainly highly recommend it. Great group ambiance. We will undoubtedly try another tour in the future to discover a different area of Manhattan.

Go for the food, stay for the history! - Loved this tour! While the food was a truly diverse and delicious selection of treats and delights, the best thing about our tour was our guide, Jake. He was so knowledgeable about the area and was very generous with this time and care for making sure we had the best experience. So many fun facts about the history of the mob, arts culture, and how NYC became the place it is today. We were really glad we did the Central Park Stroll add on. We couldn't have eaten one more bite after the 2+hour Hell's Kitchen food stops, but Jake was a pleasure to follow around for the last 2 hours of the Central Park section. (Pro tip: take every advantage of hitting the bathrooms, bcs as the day went on, there were fewer available). This tour made for a great day in NYC before hitting a Broadway show.
