Traveler reviews
Katz Thats all! - learn the meaning of the sign
Awesome tour with Joel. He had great side note stories to all the places we visited or walked by. Some were closed, good backups were offered. Lovely stroll around the area and learning the history behind it. Definitely get a Knish and Essex market has the REBEL vegan cheese from shark tank.
Great food and history tour of New York’s Lower East Side.
The food was great and Connor was an excellent guide. We learned the history of the area and its immigrant experiences while enjoying delicious and interesting samples of traditional as well as unusual foods along with the stories of the people who made them. It was great to get into two iconic delis, Katz’s and Russ & Daughters without having to stand in line. Connor had everything prearranged making it simple for us and shared lots of great info about the food, the area, and New York.
The best visit in NYC
We did 4 guided tours with different companies and this one was our favorite. Our guide, Francesca, was really a teacher. We particularly appreciated that she took her time (the other 3 visits were thorough while this one had a very cool pace). In addition, his English is very clear and we understood every explanation (perfect for the two French families in our group). Thank you very much Francesca!
Good Balance of History and food of the LES
Lovely tour with a good amount of history of the Lower East Side. Brianna was enthusiastic and engaged and gave a good amount of information while leaving time for us to enjoy a variety of foods!
Getting to know the Lower East Side
We had a very nice time walking the Lower East Side with Cora, who showed us great food shops and features we would not have noticed on our own. It was a great way to get a feel for this diverse neighborhood.
