Don’t hesitate - just book this tour! It’s amazing! - Amazing experience. The guide (Ben) is a amazing storyteller and we had a blast. We also did the tour 7 years ago and we loved it and this time it was even better. The food was to die for and we had blast. Just book those tour and you won’t be disappointed - that’s a promise! Only downside was that I ate to much 😎

Definitely take a tour with Ben! - Ben was wonderful. He had a great energy and was fun to be around. The food was all delicious, and I appreciate that he filled us up without making us feel over-stuffed. He introduced us to places that we would have otherwise walked right by. Now we know some of the secrets of Times Square. He has a great personality and we would love to take more tours with him.

I never knew I liked sandwiches so much -Ben is amazing! - This is not just a food tour that takes you to places you might not otherwise find but also a fascinating history tour. Ben was amazing and so enthusiastic about teaching us about sandwiches and debating about what a sandwich is. Highly recommend this tour and it was really nice length of time. My 14 year-old loved it too. 11 out of 10 stars!
