  Robert was the best tour guide. Very knowledgeable, humorous and made everyone feel comfortable. The places we visited were fun. Loved Dibruno's best. I had heard so much about Naked Chocolate that I was a little disappointed we didn't get to taste some of their baked goods or hot chocolate. Liked the coffee guy a lot. Very informative and nice.

NYC's Lower East Side Artisan Food Highlights Tour

  Hello. My sister (27), mother, and I have been to Manhattan many, many times. However, we always feel we eat at the same type of spots. This walking tour took us to a new area. WIth the wonderful help our our fabulous tour guide, we learned the history of the area we were in as well as tasting great local spots. The food was delicious, and exactly what we wanted out of a two hour tour. The walk was not strenuous at all, which was great news for our feet. I would completely recommend this tour to any local or tourist who wants to spend a small amount of money for a great two hours of fun and food!

NYC's Lower East Side Artisan Food Highlights Tour
  Fri, Aug 15  11:00 AM huhoo1 Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
  We enjoyed an excellent tour of the changing Lower East Side and the local artisanal food vendors found in this area. Not only did we sample tasty, quality food & drink (the coffee at The Roasting Plant was out of this world for this java-junkie) and chatted with proprietors, but we also learned the history of the LES and how this neighborhood has evolved. It still retains a great local flavor and vibrancy with the mix of artists, the food artisans and the long time residents. This tour was very family friendly (my child loved the hand-made ice cream), not at all strenuous, suitable for both locals and tourists and was a different, enjoyable way to experience NYC - via great food! Nicole gets 5-stars for being enthusiastic, knowledgeable and extremely patient with the barrage of questions we had. We'd do this tour again in a heartbeat and highly recommend it for everyone.

  Robert, the tour guide was great. He set a good pace, not too fast or slow. He is very knowledgeable about the area and the food places. The places he chose were great. I would recommend this tour to everyone.

  We attended the Center City Food Lover's Tour last weekend and had a great time! Robert was very knowledgeable and made the tour very fun. It was informal and great to meet all the merchants. This was my second tour with City Food Tours and I'll be back!

NYC's Lower East Side Artisan Food Highlights Tour

  I've taken a number of tours around the city with different companies and this one was certainly the most memorable. We snacked our way around the LES and every stop was as enjoyable as the last. Our guide Nicole was so personable and informative. She covered all the bases - from the LES's history, to present culture, and of course the food (as well as the story and people behind each shop!). The ticket cost is worth every penny. The tour blends history, culture, and food - and you certainly don't walk away hungry!

  The Center City Food Lovers Tour was fantastic. The samplings were delicious and generous. The descriptions of the various foods were interesting, as well as informative. Robert, our tour guide, made the event even better by periodically rewarding us with treats for correctly answering related trivia. My group has been on several food tours and thought this was one of the best. We are looking forward to doing another.

NYC's Lower East Side Artisan Food Highlights Tour
  Sun, Jul 27  10:00 AM bospenny Female 30-39 Local Family Without Children
  My parents were visiting from Wisconsin and are always looking for new exciting ways to spend their time in NYC. This was perfect. It was a small group. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and for me (as a local) it was a fun, and my parents loved it. It was a little sneak peak into places that I will definitely visit again. All of the restaurants were happy to see us. Which reminded me of how connected to the community a small company can be. Oh, and wonderful food too!!!

NYC's Lower East Side Artisan Food Highlights Tour

  Short and sweet: the tour was fun and I would recommend it. Now for the details... My wife and I were visiting New York for the weekend. Two young ladies who live in the neighborhood joined our group. This was definitely a good size group. Any larger would have inhibited our ability to hear the discussion and to fit in the small shops we visited. Our tour guide, Nicole, was fun and interesting. She was respectful of our time, but didn't rush us. The tour didn't take us all that far from the starting point. It is easily walked by anyone of any age. I would have liked to go further and see more. The highlights of the tour for me were the donuts and the coffee. The Donut Factory makes really interesting donuts - flavors I've never had before - and the freshness really makes a difference. The Roasting Plant Coffee Company was fascinating for me more for the technology than for the coffee, although the coffee was very good. There were some disappointments for me, however. We took the tour on Saturday and, of course, all the Jewish shops were closed. The Jewish influence is a big part of the lower East Side and skipping it made the tour seem incomplete. That is no one's fault. But, the tour could have been more in-depth and better coordinated. It seemed at some stops that the people behind the counter didn't know our tour was coming or, if they did, didn't care. I took a walking/eating tour of Federal Hill in Providence and it was much better because there was a greater variety of food, we felt more welcomed by the proprietors, and we got more food to eat. For me, it's all about the food...

  A wonderful way to spend a Saturday morning in Philly! Robert, our guide, was energetic, funny and intelligent. The tour incorporated some food history and science, and of course, a lot of tasting. Hey -- don't let the history and science part scare you away; Robert made the "cerebral" portion of the tour very interesting and accessible. First stop was Di Bruno's and the cheese section of the store. In addition to Robert, we had expert cheese monger Josh elaborate about the three very different kinds of cheeses for sampling (the cheese board was passed around multiple times). Next, we visited Naked Chocolate for sampling of white, milk and dark pastilles and truffles. The tour ended with freshly brewed and iced coffee at Joe Coffee. At both shops, the owners took time out to talk about their products and answer any questions from the group. An added bonus during the tour -- As we traveled from shop to shop, Robert pointed out points of architectural interest and provided the group with some Philadelphia history as well. Two (minor) criticisms: a gelato stop wasn't on the agenda (I thought I had seen it mentioned as part of the trip) and the end of the tour seemed a little rushed. Despite those things, the tour was excellent, and I would recommend it to anyone who likes food and /or who wants to get to know Philadelphia a little better.

  We enjoyed every aspect of this tour. Our guide, Robert, was as entertaining as he was knowledgeable. It was much more than a tasting; we learned a great deal about provenance, production, and flavor of cheese, chocolate, and coffee. We will definitely take this tour again when we are in the area.
