    Was an entertaining tour and we had a lot of fun. Definitely enhanced our trip in New York. You saw many corners that you would not otherwise have passed. The tour guide Alex was super friendly and we heard interesting stories about the neighborhood. Dietary preferences are taken into account. I don't eat meat and that was absolutely taken into account. Everything tasted great, you don't go home hungry. Would recommend the tour.

    We really enjoyed this tour. We had a New York guide, so in addition to the food, we learned a lot about the area and the background to the different stops. The food was a great mix. We actually went to a restaurant the next day because it was so delicious. We can really recommend the tour.

    Excellent experience

    We've done a lot of food tours and this one was a great combination of local history and different foods to taste and try. Hell's kitchen is a real melting pot of cuisine and styles and the tour gave us a real sense of the area and the different foods on offer.
