Learn the history...taste the foods - Great experience. Because it was a busy day for this tour, our group was divided and my husband and I lucky enough to have a personal tour guide. The three of us wandered the area and experienced unique food choices. Our guide (I'm terrible with names) was well informed and passionate about this area of NYC. We learned so much about the Irish gangs that called this part of the city home. Food was unique and delicious. Our favorite stop was for Georgian (the country, not the state) cheesboats. A new treat not to be missed. This was a highlight of our trip.

Second time as good as the first! - This was my second time to do the Hell's Kitchen Food Tour and it was just as great as the first time. Jake was our guide and he was amazing. He even through in some Irish brogue with his stories. As before, we left stuffed, so don't have big dinner plans for the same day. Definitely recommend!

Amazing tour! - This Hell’s Kitchen food tour, and especially our guide, Jake, were the highlight of our trip, which is saying a lot, considering all the amazing things we did in New York! Jake is super personable, an amazing storyteller, incredibly knowledgeable, and brought Hell’s Kitchen to life for our family in a way that we will never forget. We were traveling with a 7-year-old, 10-year-old and two 12 year olds, and Jake managed to hold their attention the entire time. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough and have already told our friends about it. Thank you, Jake, for giving us such a memorable experience!

Try Hell's Kitchen! - Our tour guide was David who has lived in NYC for over 50 years. He was so knowledgeable about the Hell's Kitchen area and the city in general. We loved all the details he shared and felt like city insiders. There was plenty of food to eat, many new to us, our favorites were the Georgian cheese boat and the Japanese BBQ. Come hungry, there is plenty of food.

Discover New Things! - Would not have discovered this great neighborhood and the amazing food here! Alex was very knowledgeable. He was able to engage my mom and my teen son with the stories of gangsters in the past that surprisingly included people still in the news today! One restaurant was so good, we went back a few hours later for dinner.

Fun food tour - Dave did a great job of giving us interesting history/anecdotes while introducing us to foods/places we wouldn’t have be unlikely to try or find on our own.
