Great fun and tasty food! I would do it again - Our tour was just myself, husband and our guide, Patrick. I don’t have enough words to say how great Patrick was. Very knowledgeable, courteous, explained what we were having, smart, funny, down to earth. I would go on the same tour again with Patrick. My husband loved it especially China Town. I had a great time and I liked both but I favor Italian. Only issue was the cannoli tasting was too small😔.

Historical Food Tour - Come hungry because you’ll leave stuffed. Everyone in our group commented on how full they felt. We got to try ten different places. They were all delicious and authentic. The historical tidbits strewn throughout the tour were interesting. Patrick was informative and very friendly. We want to try another of their food tours the next time we visit. Overall, A+ experience.

Learning and eating! - Patrick did a great job on this tour. Each place we went to was ready for us. Patrick provided a lot of historical context for China Town and Little Italy. It was a very hot day and Patrick was very good about trying to keep us cool.
