| I bought these tour tickets as a Christmas gift for my husband. We've lived in NYC 5 years but have barely made a dent in getting to know the Lower East Side. We had never heard of most of the stores, or had walked past them with nary a second thought. We'd also like to thank our guide Jennifer, who was prepared for anything and everything and provide much more context than we had expected. |

Great review of a neighborhood I rarely explore

| This tour, with stops at excellent local food merchants around the Lower East Side, was a fantastic way to become excited about a part of the city that I don't know too much about. Our tour guide, Jennifer, was very informative and came across as genuinely enthusiastic about the food we sampled and the fascinating people behind the counter. I heartily recommend this tour not only for visitors to New York, but also those who call it home, because there's always something to discover in our great city. |

| Not only was this tour so much fun but we learned a lot about the Lower East Side as well as some of the food artisans there and how their business developed. The food tastings were superb and the interaction with some of the shop owners very rewarding. Our tour guide was wonderful; energetic, bright, personable. I am recommending going on this tour to all my friends plus my husband and I plan to sign up for a different culinary tour in the near future. |

| My husband and I enjoyed ourselves taking a stroll on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Although we're locals, we don't explore much so the tour provided us some much needed exposure. Our tour guide was lovely and we had were able to have all our questions answered.
We are now hooked on the doghnuts from the Doughnut Plant. THEY ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!
Thanks Nicole. |

| Our tour guide was Jennifer. Her knowledge and enthusiasm for this tour made the experience perfect for us. In fact, she even remembered it was our 18th wedding anniversary that day. She made time for each tour member's questions and was ready to make sure we had a perfect experience.
I will use the tour company on my return trip to NYC.

| From donuts (the best donut I have ever eaten) to cheese (learned about European family traditions) to the most interesting butcher I have ever listened to (spoke from his heart) - this was a great food tour. The guide was a three star chef, in her own right. We were visiting from California, our daughter is a CIA Greystone grad, so this tour was great for a different view of NYC. One of our friends we were visiting lives in the Lower East Side and had never been to the six places we visited. This was one of the highlights of our 4 day trip to Manhattan. |

| We have traveled to New York several times. This time we were looking for something different, but fun to do. It turns out that the Artisan Food Tour fit the bill perfectly. It got us into some neighborhoods not previously visited and we got to taste some great food. Our 14 year old son enjoyed it as well. Laura was our guide and she did a wonderful job of welcoming us and making us feel comfortable. I can't wait to return to New York and try one of the other food tours. |

| Jennifer was as knowledgeable about the neighborhood and its history as she was about the food. It was wonderful to have a guide with such a strong culinary background. |

Not as good as other food tours

| We've been on the village food tour and one of the Chicago food tours. Both were better. The food on this tour was OK, but the tour guide was not as interesting and didn't really have many stories to tell about the neighborhood. This in my opinion is what makes a fun food tour into an excellent experience. |

Well worth it

| This was a great time. We got a nice rundown of the history of the area. The stops included were great - a wide variety with excellent samples. I went with my friend who has lived in the city for 8 years and she loved it! |
