Chinatown Food and Culture Walking Tour

This was the best food/culture walking tour of NYC we have yet experienced.( We've taken such tours of Greenwich Village, Chelsea and Brooklyn. The food on this tour was more interesting, varied, more tasty and more filling by far than the others. The guide's description of the history and culture of the waves of immigrants who have settled in what is now called "Chinatown" was informed, interesting and plausible(I hold a PhD in history.)

This is our third NY food tour and, once again, we were very happy. Raheem was knowledgeable, entertaining, friendly and obviously loved his work. I would take any tour he led. As someone who usually fills up on pork fried rice because I never knew how or what to order, this tour was a real eye opener. We sampled 6 different delicious dumplings, Peking Duck, and several other dishes as Raheem carefully explained the background, preperation and historical and cultural significance of each item. Notes were taken and I plan to study for my next trip to the local Chinese restaurant! So far we have done Chinatown, Brooklyn, West Village and Chelsea tours and we look forward to another on our next trip to the city.

Like many New York families, we tend to stick to our neighborhood and the things that are familiar to us. The Chinatown Food Walking Tour gave us a fun way to introduce our son to the sights, sounds and tastes of Chinatown, which he'd always been curious about. It also has given us the comfort to start making Chinatown's wonderful restaurants and shops a regular part of our lives. Our guide was Raheem was energetic and informative and the food, in the words of our ten year old, was "delicious," especially the "excellent" Peking Duck.

Food was GREAT! Guide was EXCELLENT

Tour guide Raheem was great. Alot of great info on the area and history of Chinatown. Food was fantastic. Would recommend the tour to anyone who is interested in a nice afternoon.

Highly recommended! Plenty of food and a lot of interesting history in Chinatown. Ask for Raheem, he was great!

Great Locations Great Food Great Information

Great fun , well run and introduced me to good Chinatown restaurants I wouldn't have sampled other wise

We had a lot of fun on our tour, despite some challenging conditions. The food choices were excellent and we got a good overview of both the history and geography of the area. The weather was windy and cold with a little rain at the beginning but our tour guide handled it all with aplomb and kept the energy level high throughout the three hours. I would definitely recommend the tour to others.

Had a lot of fun, and the food was delicious! Our guide was very likable, both knowledgeable and enthusiastic - obviously loved the subject and cared about food. We had high expectations for the tour and weren't disappointed.
