Traveler reviews
A very nice tour in Little Italy
Yesterday, my wife and I had an excellent tour of Little Italy with the talented guide Ramona. She shared fascinating anecdotes and details about the neighborhood. A highly recommended tour.
Learned a lot about Little Italy even though I have lived in the city for 45 years!
Our tour guide Ramona was great. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. And i loved and was impressed by her period clothing that she sewed herself. We were lucky that it was just i and a friend, as some other attendees canceled at the last minute. Both of us are of Italian heritage and my friend's mom actually lived on Mulberry Street. We walked all over Little Italy starting at Canal Street and going up and down Baxter, Mulberry, Mott and Elizabeth streets. We asked lots of questions and contributed to the conversation since it was just us two. I don't know the maximum size of this tour however i would recommend it be kept small due to the narrow sidewalks and the amount of people on a Saturday afternoon walking through that area. Later on we booked the Catacombs by Candlelight tour through Tommy's and were guided by none other than Tommy himself. When we told him we were on the tour with Ramona, his face lit up and he said she was a real find.
Excellent Tour
Brilliant tour with Ramona, it was really interesting! She has such a passion for history and tells the stories with enormous enthusiasm. It was freezing cold, but so worth it! Thank you Ramona!
Little Italy with RAMONA - just do it !!
So interesting to walk the streets and hear the history and stories from our amazing guide RAMONA. She’s all dressed up in period costumes and knows everything about the area. We did a couple of tours with her. Excellent. Be sure to tip her as she’s a real gem 💎
Thanks to our guide Ramona!
