Reviews
Wonderful to do in the evening, less crowded. Good for all ages, even kids. Hits all the major sights.
We did an early morning tour with Lorenzo. This was definitely the highlight of our quick stop in DC on the way home from Spring Break. Lorenzo was very knowledgeable and we had a great time. The 7 am tour was perfect for photos of all monuments and buildings! There was no one around and traffic was minimal!
Dr. Cook was fantastic. Would definitely book with them again. He was fun and extremely knowledgable. would highly recommend.

Walking tour
Alex was a lovely guide! Well paced and well versed.
Uncover the history and tastes of Brooklyn!
What a wonderful way to experience the intricate stories, history and flavours of Brooklyn! So many places we visitied we would have just walked right passed if not on the tour. Trying the unique flavours which are tied to the history of each unique neighborhood made the whole experience more meaningful. And all the food was fab! 3 hours of snacking and learning and we definitely walked away with full bellies! Greg was a real gem - we thoroughly enjoyed his exceltional knowledge and stories - such a great host!
Mostly walking and history with food sprinkled in.
This is more of a historical walking tour with food sprinkled in rather than a traditional food tour. Our tour guide was excellent—incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Having taken other food tours in NYC, we are used to leaving completely stuffed and struggling to take another bite. That is not the case here; you will do so much walking that you’ll actually leave craving more food.The food varieties we tried were all excellent. However, keep in mind that almost none of the stops have seating, so there are no opportunities to sit down and enjoy the food or take a break from walking. I would definitely recommend this tour, just be prepared for a history-heavy experience!
Interesting, tasty and informative- but less food than some tours
Interesting enough tour and James was a good guide. Learned some history we didn’t know. But for $70 I’d maybe have expected more food rather than a selection of very small bites. And not just because the website pictures a large pizza. Actually we had a very small slice. But to be fair there was a lot of variety in the foods sampled, and it was all tasty The tour highlighted places for us to visit afterwards and to feed ourselves.
