Dim sum plus pizza and more! - It was a great tour. My daughter and I were the only ones because of flight problems for tourists. Andrew was a great guide with a lot of knowledge to foods, original places to see and both China town and little Italy. Hee was friendly, easy to communicate with and went out of his way for us. We can highly recommend this tour!

Select New Restaurants - Our guide was awesome! Some of the restaurants were not very accommodating. The Italian restaurant appeared to be confused that we were there. I've been on other food tours and the restaurant had the samples ready for the group for an easy and quick in and out. I recommend selecting new restaurants that would be appreciative for the potential future business.
