Customer Reviews
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!
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.
