Chinatown Food and Culture Walking Tour

In my opinion the tour had a good mix of facts, history, stories and food.

Great idea..history and food. Good food!

Each time we take one of your tours, this was our third, we think "How can another, be as good?" And, each time we are rewarded with another wonderful experience. Our excellent and jovial guide, Raheim (sp?), offered up historical tidbits on this neighborhood's long immigrant past, and on the Chinese-Americans who now call this area "home", as he navigated us through winding streets in search of Chinese delicacies. Raheim's enthusiasm for the area's excellent food was not misplaced. All the establishments we visited offered DELICIOUS fare. The dim sum, Peking duck, roast pork were outstanding! We are already making plans to head back for dinner....our palate was has been thoroughly enthralled! And, Foods of NY? Well done, we will be back for yet another tour soon!

I have been planning to take a foods of NY tour for some time now and I was not disappointed with the Chinatown tour. Besides the wonderful food, the best thing about this tour was our guide, Rasheem. He was so knowledgeable about Chinatown and actually other parts of the city and its food. It was surprising how much food we ate for the price of this ticket. WHAT A GREAT EXPERIENCE!! I am anxious to take other foods of ny tours when I am in town again. Thanks.

Very informative and lots of great food! We were very impressed with our tour guide's knowledge of the area. We will definitely go back to eat at some of the restaurants.

Our guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. He helped to make our tour. The food was fabulous. We look forward to doing another tour next summer. Pam Lord

Our tour guide (Rahim) was very nice. But the food was uninspired, especially for those of us who have been to this Chinatown previously. The first course (the dumplings) were interesting and different. But everything else (roast pork, scallion pancakes, etc.) just felt average - a number of restaurants have equally good versions, and they're well known items. I didn't really feel that I learned anything at all about Chinese food that I hadn't known previously.

Unlike some of the other tours, there was a lot of "sit-down" time to enjoy the food. As usual, Raheem knew the culture of the neighborhood and enthusiastically shared his knowledge. I have taken four of your tours and have interest in one or two others but I hope they add more options. Afterall, NYC is a big place!

Exploring Chinatown on a summer's day with a food & cultural guide was a wonderful day well spent! Raheem, our tour guide was very well versed in Chinese culture & food, patient, kind and humorous. He knew the area intricately and was enthusiastic in relaying this information to the group. I recommend this tour - highly educational & entertaining. This is the 2nd neighborhood tour we have experienced with FoodTours in NYC and am looking forward to the next NY neighborhood. By the way, the food was excellent and plentiful!!!

Food was the focus of the tour with fun facts and history of the neighborhood as an accent. As a local for the past 23 years, and a once short-term resident of Chinatown, I still learned something. Our guide Raheem was fun, knowledgeable and knew his audience well. He made everyone in the group feel welcome and comfortable, with the food, the neighborhood, and each other. The food stops were interesting and varied. Chinatown seems less daunting to me now.
