Great Experience!

The tour actually consisted of only my husband and me, which was a lot of fun. Our guide was great- funny, personable, and ready to answer any question. I really feel like we got to see (and sample) some spots in the area that we never would have found otherwise. I would definitely take another tour from this company. It was well worth the money.

I had a really good time on the Top Chef tour. Nicole, the guide, was fun and knowledgeable. We got a good overview of several different neighborhoods in downtown Manhattan. The tour made some great connections to the show, but was also fun for people interested in food and NYC. I particularly enjoyed walking through Chinatown and learning about the markets on Grand Street. And, of course, the cheese at DiPalo's! All in all it was a totally worthwhile experience.

A happy, delicious and informative morning.

Our fearless leader, Nicole, did a lovely job. She was cheerful, enthusiastic and knowledgable. The walk was not strenuous -- just enough to be ready for the next tasty treat. We appreciated that the tour finished near the start point.

My wife and her best friend had a great time learning about the various nationalities that lived in the area and the food that they brought with them. Even though I work in the area our guide, Clarissa, even taught me a few things. She was both insightful and entertaing at the same time. All the food was delicious!!

We had a wonderful (albeit rainy) time with our outstanding tour guide, Calisa on the East Village Flavors of New York tour sponsored by City Food tours. Our guide was extremely personable and knowledgable, having been both a chef and having a degree in the food sciences. Our group of six was extremely pleased with our guide. With regard to the stops on the tour, we would have to say that half was very good to excellent and half was only average. Highlights were the stops at Veselka (A Ukrainian restaurant) and Chikalicious (a dessert stop where, unfortunately, our guides hoped for food was sold out). Average were the stops for an egg cream where the soda fountain was out of order (had to make with bottled sparkling water) and the pizza stop. I would hope that City Food Tours will look to upgrade these stops to make this a more competitive option in the increasingly competitive walking food tour universe. I would encourage all visitors to NYC to take one of these types of tours. We have been to NYC twice for fun and have taken a food tour of the LES (with the Enthusiastic Gourmet- very good) and now the East Village, and have found both to be a fun and informative way to see neighborhoods of the City.

The tour was great! The guide was enthusiastic, the food was wonderful and we learned something new at each stop. The mixture of information about Topchef, food in general and dining in the city made the whole tour very enjoyable.

Fun, informative, and pretty darn tasty!

I loooooooved this tour - it gave a great overview of downtown's diverse ethnic and cultural food culture while highlighting places, events, and challenges that are on Top Chef. Even though I've never actually seen the show, I really enjoyed the way our brilliant tourguide wove together the stories of top chef with the stories of NYC's food culture! This is a great tour for out of town guests, because you get a solid introduction to the NYC's cultural history. Also, the cooking tip sheets were really helpful as was the knife lesson! Plus you get to EAT! lots of tastes at lots of places!

More Fun Than I Thought!!

Our guide, Nicole, had infectious enthusiasm for food, wine, and how to eat her way through New York. It was the perfect amount of time, the right amount of people. I'd recommend this for adults (the kids would probably get bored and tired), absolutely!

We ended up with a private tour with Nicole. She was awesome! She knew a lot about the history of the area as well as the food we tasted. We had a fantastic time and highly recommend this activity!

I went on this tour on a Saturday with our guide Nicole. The two of us were the only ones who scheduled for that so it was like having a private tour. Our guide was so knowledgeable and friendly and we were stuffed by the end of it. It was fantastic. I am going to try more of the tours on here.

This was a fantastic experience. My son and I took a 2 hour tour in the NoLita neighborhood. Nicole was very knowledgeable, polite and engaging. I would recommend the tour to anyone. Great food, conversation and places to visit next time we are in NYC.

Great tour!

The tour was great. We got a bite to eat at several different restaurants and shops in the area, all of which make the food on the premises with fresh ingredients. I've never explored this part of Manhattan before, so it was really interesting. My favorite dish was the cilantro chicken sandwich from the Vietnamese place -- I'll definitely be going back there.
