One of the best food tours, and great stories everywhere we went - This tour is definitely worth taking, especially with Cale, whose encyclopedic knowledge of the history and culture of Times Square, Central Park, and Hell’s Kitchen was impressive. He had great stories everywhere we went. And the food tour was one of the best I have ever taken: a wide range of ethnic cuisines, well chosen for quality and creativity, all delicious.

Worth it! - Jake was a fabulous guide! Having spent most of the day with him during our Times Square, Hell's Kitchen and Central Park tour, my daughter and I were so impressed with the knowledge he was able to share with us. I highly recommend the tour and ask for Jake!

Amazing Tour and Guide - Cake was an amazing tour guide! I have taken dozens of tours and I know how hard it is to come across a tour guide who is interesting, fun, and knowledgeable. He knew the history of the buildings, the areas, and the restaurants we visited. I definitely recommend this tour and try to get Cale, if you can!

5 Stars from Solo Traveller - I did the triple combo tour of Times Square Hells Kitchen and Central Park hosted by Jonathan. As a solo female traveller I highly recommend this tour and Jonathan to anyone. The food choices during the HK tour were fantastic and a great variety and association to the NY history of the area. Jonathan is very knowledgeable of NY history and made the day so enjoyable. I was initially hesitant in booking walking tours as I thought I largely knew a lot of NY history. I am more than pleased with my experience. I also need to provide an extra shout out to Jonathan saving me from being hit by a speeding car. Many thanks

So glad we booked this tour! - What a great tour of Times Square and adjacent area! Jonathan was an excellent tour guide. I learned so much about New York that I never knew before. I would highly recommend this tour.

A Must Do Tour! - A wonderful overview of the history, culture and food of this NY neighborhood. Claire was an excellent guide-informed and friendly. The food was delicious and all of the restaurants had a small business, family feel. I continued on for the Central Park stroll and it was an excellent decision. The park, of course is beautiful, but hearing the history and stories of the inception and features of the park gave it so much more meaning. Again, Claire knew her stuff! The two tours combined mad a perfect day in the City.
