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!

Give this tour a try! Lots of fun and delicious eats. - Was not expecting this to be as fun as it was. The tour guide has so much good energy, and he's really passionate about the subject matter. Great if you love sandwiches, eating, or just want to do something unique and different.

some of the greatest sandwiches you will probably never experience (unless you book this tour of course) - What an amazing experience. Our tour guide Ben was very cool and I really appreciated his passion for small family businesses that just happen to make some of the greatest sandwiches you will probably never experience (unless you book this tour of course) We visiting 3 different Sandwich venues which were all very different and in between shared some great walks through NYC and of course a nice beer or 2. Ben is brilliant at making all guests feel very welcome and brought us all together in no time at all. Could not recommend this tour more highly 10 out of 10 for me.
