Reviews for Immigrant New York: Lower East Side, Chinatown & Little Italy Food Tour

Sergio was an amazing as our tour guide. He really knew the ins and outs of the city and gave great history of the city. The food was amazing and so was Sergio’s energy throughout the tour!

Sergio was an amazing tour guide and I 100% recommend him! He had lots to tell about the history of the city and was verte kind.

Seth was an absolute delight and the tour was very informative even for us New Yorkers. We enjoyed exploring through a set of new lens and appreciated NYC even more.

The Immigrant New York Food Tour was such an amazing experience! It’s the perfect mix of fascinating history, culture, and incredible food. Our guide was engaging and knowledgeable, making each stop even more meaningful. We tried a little bit of everything—custom cake pops from Rebecca’s inside Essex Market, fresh bagels from Kossar’s, a classic pickle from The Pickle Guys, a sweet bag of treats from Economy Candy, a crispy slice from Nolita’s Pizza, a mini cannoli from Ferrara’s Bakery & Café, and a delicious pork roll from Mai Lai Wah. Every bite told a story about the neighborhood and its rich immigrant history. Highly recommend this tour if you want to explore the Lower East Side, Chinatown, and Little Italy in the most delicious way!

Seth was a great guide! So personable and knowledgeable about the area! Would definitely do another tour with him! Thank you!

Been in NYC since 1977 and I knew or maybe even lived near a couple of the stops. Had no clue on the history of the areas and it was extremely informative. Our tour guide, Seth, was very knowledgeable about the locations and made the experience even more enjoyable. I would only say "eat your lunch before the tour". While the food on the tour was tasty, I wouldn't consider them "meals"; more like delicious snacks along the way. I will certainly do another tour, perhaps sometime this summer.

Seth was an amazing tour guide giving us so much knowledge and history with the food we were trying! He was also very accommodating to the groups requests of food reveals to get that "oooh" and "awe" vibe. From pickles, to pizza and lots in between, all the food was delicious and unlike other food tours I've been on where you get a tiny sample and might still leave hungry.... that's definitely not the case here!

Great and very professional tour guide. All the locations were equally interesting and the food was delicious. I can highly recommend this tour.

Amazing experience! great way to walk around and learn the history of city neighborhoods and eat some good food! Seth was an awesome tour guide.

Seth was so fun, filled with knowledge, and flexible with our large group! The food was delicious and we were amazed how many different kinds of places we could traverse during our walk. Highly recommend!

I’m from nyc originally but learned so much about the city in this tour. The pickles and pizza were definitely my favorite. I think Seth was a very knowledgeable tour guide. Highly recommend.

This was a great tour. Seth was very knowledgeable of City history and very friendly. We appreciated the variety of seeing both Chinatown & Little Italy.

We took the walking tour with Chris. I enjoyed the tour sampling the different food. Chris pointed out architecture and various graffiti art. The tour took me to areas I wouldn’t normally go. The weather was terrible but you can’t plan for that. Chris communicated where to meet up & tried to provide a good experience for everyone.

I’ve visited New York City several times, but I’ve never spent much time in the Lower East Side. I thought this tour would be a great way to get to know the neighbourhood, and it was exactly that! Seth was an excellent guide, delving into the history and showing us around this popular part of Manhattan, and taking us to several businesses (including stops in Chinatown and Little Italy), where we enjoyed very tasty food - the pasta and pizza stops were highlights for me. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to become better acquainted with Manhattan’s Lower East Side and enjoy good food along the way.

Seth was a fantastic guide and the tour was both delicious and very interesting. Just the right mix of food, walking and history.

Highly recommend this tour as a way to explore these areas through the lens of food and immigrant history. Our guide Chris was awesome and so knowledgeable about so many facets of the areas we explored! Really glad we went :)

Seth was knowledgeable about the history of the Lower East Side and had a great relationship with the food vendors. The food selections were enjoyable and varied.
