Excellent tour of Chinatown in Queens - Loved our tour with Sierra, who is extremely knowledgeable about Queens history and culture as well as being an expert on the Flushing Chinatown food scene. Sampled many foods and drinks I never would have found on my own, and I especially enjoyed visiting a large grocery store. Pacing of the tour was excellent, and the time flew by. Well worth the price, and I highly recommend taking this tour.

Best Food Tour in all of NYC! - This is by far the best food tour I have ever been on. Our guide, Sierra was incredibly nice and so knowledgeable. I like that they keep the groups small and that the tour isn't just about food, but about the neighborhood and it's history as well. We had an amazing time. Thank you Sierra! We hope to see you again.

A must do food tour in NYC - Sierra was a fantastic guide. We learned so much about not only the food but the Flushing area as well. We appreciate how they flexed your dietary preferences and allowed us to try things of interest. A fantastic full day food tour!

Excellent Culininary Backstreets Chinatown Tour - The tour of Flushing's Chinatown exceeded my expectations. I went with a friend from California who had been on 2 Culinary Backstreets tours and suggested we take a New York tour. As a long time NYC resident I had been to Flushing numerous times but this tour took us to places I didn't know existed. Our guide Sierra was delightful, incredibly knowledgeable about the food we were eating and the history of Flushing. The itinerary was well thought out and we got to try so many delicious dishes. I'm traveling to LA in September and plan on taking one of Culinary Backstreets tours there.

Wonderfully full hearts and stomachs - We explored the tremendous culinary diversity of China in a relatively small area of downtown Flushing with our incredibly knowledgeable guide, Sierra. We sampled so many delicious items that we had no idea existed. Sierra made sure we paced ourselves so as to not to feel ill. Sierra has an extensive culinary background so we learned about Chinese items, food culture and the neighborhood history.

Flushing up close - We had a wonderful tour with Sierra last week. They were filled with knowledge enthusiasm and passion about everything we saw— from the different varieties and cross cultural evolution of the egg tart to how the colors of clothing and the amount of landscaping in the post office murals of early Queens settlements can tell you more than you even imagined about the history and sociology of the borough. Oh, and the food — consistneky delish and often surprising — who knew that plain boiled fish dumplings could be so tasty!

Totally recommend - Sierra was a great guide. Her knowledge of the area and its history together with her vast knowledge of Asian cuisine was exceptional. We ate delicious food some of which I have never tried before and went to hole in the walls and small outlets. This tour has really added to our New York holiday. Thank you!
