Excellent Tour!

Susan gave us an excellent tour of Aurthur Avenue. She was very knowledgeable, and the food was excellent! We had the BEST pizza we've ever tasted. All the locals were very friendly and you could tell that Susan felt very at home on Aurthur Avenue. Definitely recommend!

Good job

Started late but once we got going we went to some diverse and interesting places. no bargains but lots of different styles of yarn and shops i certainly wouldn't have found on my own. The fellow adventurers were pleasant and knew their yarns and knitting, and all had different perspectives about knitting. the distances were easily walked and the subway ride was uneventful. The shops were chosen with an eye toward maximizing the number of places possible with the least amount of travel. I thought that it was well thought out and the leader clearly did research about new shops regularly.

Just the three of us

My sister and I were the only ones on the tour which we didn't know till we met at the designated location. It might have been nice if we had been informed or even given a choice to reschedule with a larger group. This situation had it's pros and cons. Pros: it was just us; cons: it might have been more fun with a larger group. All in all it was enjoyable but there weren't nearly as many tastings as on previous tours. When we got back to the Metro North station to return to Grand Central, the ticket we were provided with was for another line and we each had to pay $13.00 to purchase another ticket on the train. I don't know how the tour guide missed this; we took the same train back that we took to get there.

Christmas gift for my wife
Fri, May 22, 09   10:30 AM marsha46 Male 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
The knitting tour was a gift from me to my wife this past Christmas. I offered to go along to carry the packages! - It turned out to be a highlight of our trip to the City. Susan, our guide, took us from shop to shop and provided us with all kinds of information regarding the neighborhoods, history, etc. in between. We were able to see parts of the city that we would never have found on our own, not to mention the shops that are hidden away on the upper floors of the buildings. It was really a fantastic experience. We will arrange for another tour with Susan when we return to NYC.

A great birthday present for my husband!

Susan provided an amazing morning for my group. Her insightful commentary, funny anecdotes, great local knowledge - not to mention her special relationship with all the key restaurants and vendors - made it a memorable outing. She will absolutely tailoring her stops and tastings to your special interests. Whether you're a local or an out-of-towner you'll enjoy this tour.

We loved our tour with SusanSez.

We toured Arthur Avenue in the Bronx with Susan. We had a wonderful time. She was so informative and we loved stopping into the food shops and trying the wonderful samples. We had so much to eat that we were stuffed by the end and we discovered many new places to come back and try. Susan gave us lots of time and we were not hurried at all. We highly recommend the tour.

Terrific Tour

Susan was very personable and knowledgeable. She was very familiar with the tour area and able to provide information and stories relating to the neighborhood that extended beyond the food. The food samples were ample and delicious. Would highly recommend the tour to anyone considering it and will definitely suggest it to anyone making the trip to NYC.

Disappointed/impressed with all other tours taken
Sat, Apr 25, 09   10:30 AM vdehaven Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
The guide picked us up at the Grand Central Station in the city where the tour began. We took the Northern train to The Bronx. The walking tour itself was nice, had numerous stops and interesting to see the neighborhood. Our group was disappointed that at the end of the tour we weren't given a guide to get back to the train area. It was explained that some people wanted to visit the Bronx Zoo or the Bontanical Gardens while in the Bronx. This is ok but I still believe for the ones that did not want to do this should have been taken back to the area to catch the train. Our group is not "big city" people and was not comfortable with following verbal directions. Perhaps even a map given out at end of tour would have been better. We went to the Botanical Gardens and considered touring. We were not informed though that it was a twenty dollar charge. We had to ask three different cops/booth attendants to finally locate where we caught the train back to Grand Central Station.

Arthur Street Walk-about is wonderful
Thu, Mar 19, 09   11:30 AM rerwin40 Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
The neighborhood markets takes you back in time where mom and pop places still thrive. The shops bustle with shoppers buying from third generation owners. The food is intriguing and delicious. You will see and taste the freshest products with an authentic Italian flair. I wish there were more neighborhoods like this one. This was a highlight of our trip.

Explore the real Little Italy!

I had a wonderful day exploring Arthur Ave, eating my way through all its glorious food - you will definitely not be hungry after this tour. Handmade cheeses and salami, olives, italian bakery delights and maybe the best pizza in not only the Bronx but NY! The tour guide is a friendly local and very knowledgeable of the of area, making for an enjoyable and informative day. She provides you with documentation to navigate the area post tour with many recommendations on where to shop and eat, and just a short walk up the road is the Botanical Gardens and the Bronx Zoo. Take this tour, you will not be disappointed.!

I would recommend this tour. Went in with a group of friends and would recommend that a group go....Suzy is fun and if you're a fun group, you'll enjoy being with her. The shops were great and most places gave you a bite to taste. Learned a lot about the history of Arthur Ave. Basically, a good day with good friends, good food and good fun. Thanks!

My wife, son and I really enjoyed our Arthur Avenue tour. Just meeting Susan in Grand Central paved the way to alot of fun, and she was a fantastic tour guide. We especially enjoyed the shops and the great tastes of Arthur Avenue. We would recommend the Artur Avenue tour with Susan Birnbaum to all. Enjoy!!!
