Chinatown Food and Culture Walking Tour

The tour was fabulous, the choice of restuarants and the tour guide ernie were nothing but top notch!! Highly recommend this tour to everyone. You won't be disappointed.

My husband and I took the Chinatown tour, which was fabulous. I was full by the end of our 2nd stop! We had a really nice variety of food, and learned a lot about the restaurants that we went to. I highly recommend this tour. I would love it if the tour company would add a variation of the Chinatown tour that would go to some of the more exotic places in Chinatown. While I really enjoyed the places we stopped in, there are lots of small Chinatown shops that I would be to intimidated to go into on my own (you know, the kind of places that have things like duck legs hanging in the windows!). I would also love to see a food tour that would stop at a bunch of different ethnic places - such as afghan food, ethiopian food, vietnamese food, turkish food, etc. - rather than the fairly "average" places that the majority of the tours go to. Overall, the quality of the tour, and the food on the tour, and the tour guide, was fabulous and we really enjoyed it! We would just like to see more variety of ethnicities in the tour choices, for those of us who would like to try some new things.

Our tour guide REALLY knew his stuff - history, how to get along in Chinese culture, and what dishes to get in which restaurants. It was SO delicious - he took us to dishes that had remarkable depth and complexity. He was friendly, and took excellent care of us. I confess, I didn't have high expectations of walking around a Manhattan neighborhood, but he showed us hidden things and made everything a breeze. Well, everything except NOT eating too much.

I am a New Yorker born and bred. I have always held a fascination for Chinatown, and this tour was a great way to learn and get to know it. I loved that this tour had a little bit of everything: food, walking, culture and the history of the neighborhood. Thank you "Foods of New York" for organizing this tour so thoroughly.

Our guide Bert, was beyond AWESOME...we had so much fun...Bert knew everything about every street, every shop and every restaurant we were taken to....nevermind the fact the guy is just Fun! At first we balked a little at the $65.00 price tag...we walked away saying we got sooooo much bang for our buck its not even funny. We were treated like we were family, laughed, ate, made new friends and had a blast. Bringing everybody we know on one of these tours!

We booked this tour while we were having so much fun on the East Village/Soho tour a couple of days before. This was excellent as well! It was a real, and FUN, educational experience. :)

Enjoyed the food and the history. Nice well informed guide. Would definitely recommend.

Our guide, Rashim, was excellent. The food and cultural history we got along the way were superb. My kids, ages 14 and 12, were so in to it. I lived in NYC for 9 years but I never got this kind of rich information or so many great tips for eats in Chinatown! I enthusiastically recommend this tour. Thank you!

Loved the Dim & the Duck. The tea shop and health store were nice and had a great variety of products. Our guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic......the store owners & employees were very welcoming & our guide had a good relationship with everyone.

Loved the food and learnt a lot - would have liked a little bit more about history and culture to compliment the tour.
