Matthew
The Chinatown Food Tour with Lance today was fantastic! Highly recommended! He’s a wealth of knowledge about the neighborhood, and he was so helpful guiding us through all of the different cuisines found in the area. All of the choices were delicious! We had a great time. Thank you!
Ani
The Chinatown food tour was amazing! Meghan, our guide, was very knowledgeable, kind, and a joy to spend our day with! My only regret is that we didn't book this earlier in our trip! This was on our last day, and I wish we could have gone back to the restaurants Meghan brought us to. Highly recommend the Chinatown food tour!
Laura
Meghan was such an amazing tour guide in Chinatown! The food was fantastic at every stop. The history behind the neighborhood was such an interesting part of the tour as well. Definitely would recommend!
Jeannette
By far the best food tour of Chinatown I’ve ever experienced! It was incredibly informative and provided a wonderful, in-depth explanation about the rich history of the area. The tour guide, Megan, was exceptional, offering her time and expertise in a way that truly enhanced the experience. Her knowledge was vast, and she shared fascinating stories and details that brought the history of the region to life. Additionally, the surprise birthday candles were by far the most thoughtful gesture, adding a personal and special touch to the day. Thank you, Megan, for making this tour unforgettable!

We had the best time!! Scott was the ultimate tour guide: selected the most yummy choices at each restaurant, explained the area and the dish, never rushed us, and fit in with our group seamlessly. I am not the most adventurous eater, yet I definitely consider myself a foodie. I can genuinely say that I loved every item he picked for us on the Chinatown tour, making the whole experience so relaxing and fun! It was heartwarming to see Scott interact with the staff at each establishment; he has such a good rapport with everyone and considers them his friends. I love, loved our experience and am excited to try a different tour on my next trip to NYC!
