Marisa
We had Jake on the Hell’s Kitchen tour and he was amazing! It was just me and my 2 boys, and he kept us entertained the whole time and answered all my questions. There was A LOT of food, all really good. We skipped breakfast, which I would absolutely advise. The cheese pull was very impressive.

It’s a hard to imagine a more fun and informative tour! Our tour guide, Alex, was an epic storyteller, regaling us with Hell’s Kitchen’s checkered past—all while ensuring excellent service and cuisine. Alex was a treasured guide!
Samantha
This is our third tour with Manhattan Walking Tours, and they never disappoint! Jake is the most phenomenal guide who is so passionate about the city, personable, and wants to ensure everyone has a good time, both during the tour and afterward. The history he shares is fantastic and the food is even better. We would happily spend an entire day with Jake! Would recommend to anyone looking to do something unique in the city.

NYC must do! My partner and I were visiting Manhattan this last week and we went on a Hells Kitchen tour with Cale. He was phenomenal! I always worry about food tours as a vegetarian, but there were always veggie options provided. Cale had many stories about the neighborhood to provide some insight into the historical context of the area that we were visiting. He took us to 5 different restaurants with a great portion of food at each stop. The theme of the tour was international foods. We ate Japanese BBQ, delectable cookies, fabulous tacos and a mini margarita (alcohol was not included), a gooey cheese boat, and irresistible NYC meatballs. I could barely finish the meatballs because of how full I was at the end of the tour. Be ready to eat and have an awesome time. Thanks so much for having us, Manhattan Walking Tours!

We had a great time on the tour. The food was delicious and you get plenty of it! We were stuffed by the end. Kale was a great guide full of knowledge. He had a very upbeat happy attitude and made the tour enjoyable. We would definitely recommend the Hells Kitchen Food Tour and Central Park
