Traveler reviews
Charming Neighborhood with World Cuisine
Brian did a great job of walking us through charming Astoria. The Greek market/grocery was our favorite stop. Several customers at the store stopped to tell us about the best feta, or olive oil & the best Greek restaurants in the neighborhood. We sampled foods from every corner of the world & learned the history of the area. The different waves of immigration brought new cuisines. We have taken many food tours & we were glad we took the subway N train over to Queens. We expected grungy & found a charming neighborhood with tree-lined streets. A refreshing break from Manhattan.
Wonderful food tour of Astoria
We had a great time with Ian touring Astoria. The food -- Greek, Brazilian, Palestinian, Colombian -- was so good and so varied. Ian was knowledgeable and made everything fun and easy. And the neighborhood is amazing. We visited a gorgeous Greek Orthodox church, enjoyed graffiti murals, and took selfies in front of George Costanza's parents' home. We left with satisfied appetites and a great appreciation for the hidden wonders of Astoria! Highly recommended.
Astoria’s Culinary Passport
I had an incredible time on this food tour of Astoria! Our guide, Ian, was fantastic—warm, knowledgeable, and clearly connected to the neighborhood. It was wonderful to see how genuinely he’s welcomed at each stop; his relationships with the local restaurants added a personal touch to every tasting. The food itself was a true world tour of Astoria’s diverse cuisine, and the portions were generous—come hungry! The route was also easy to reach by Subway, which made the whole experience even more convenient. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore Queens through its flavors.
One of the Best
We're pretty familiar with Manhattan, & wanted to do the boroughs. This was excellent - lot's of very good food. Fun walking in the local Astoria neighborhood. Highly recommend this tour - & especially our guide, Dante.
The best way to get a real NYC feel- take a Nice Guys tour!
This is our 5th tour with Nice Guys and the first on their Astoria tour…it was wonderful! The variety of food was great and as always, it was plentiful. Ian was fun and knowledgeable; he made us feel like his friends who he was just showing off the best of his neighborhood. Such a fun way to learn more about the unique areas of NYC. Make time to do a Nice Guys tour when you are visiting the city!
