Disappointed/impressed with all other tours taken
Sat, Apr 25  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  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!
Sat, Jan 3  10:30 AM Beeba111 Female 30-39 International Tourist(s) Individual
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.!

Great Day with Suzy!
Sat, Dec 27, 08   10:45 AM mymonsterboy Female 40-49 Local Group of Friends
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!

Thoroughly enjoyable!!
Mon, Oct 13, 08   10:45 AM AnnMarieJan Female 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
I have wanted to see Arthur Av for quite some time. This was a great way to become acquainted with the neighborhood. Our tour-guide was very knowledgable about the area, and shared a lot of her insights. Our group was small with everyone very interested in every stop. This is only our second walking/eating tour in New York, but i am looking forward to many more. Thank You

A perfect day shopping and knitting
Wed, Sep 24, 08   10:30 AM susieb333 Female 40-49 Local Group of Friends
Susan was an excellent guide. Not only did she know the "ins and outs" of the city, she brought us to very cool, obscure knitting shops - places we would never have experienced on our own. Her knowledge of the city's history made the walks between stores interesting and fun. We finished the day happy, tired and much poorer for buying yarn for inspired projects. We would love go with her again and see some of the other shops on her list. (And my husband wants to eat his way through the Arthur Avenue Walk she organizes!) Would highly recommend this outing!

great knitting finds
Wed, Sep 24, 08   10:30 AM elainelouise Female 70+ Local Other
i was interested in finding new knitting shops and that's just what we did. The group was all strangers to me but all very friendly and easy going. The tour leader was very personable and helpful and I would certainly think about going again on another tour with her. i am interested in returning on my own to some of the pllaces she took us.

Enjoyable tour

Susan was very friendly and it was nice to be taken round by a local. The tasters were good - especially the cheese and I would definitely recommend the walk as a pleasant way to spend a morning.

Fantastic!
Wed, Jul 9, 08   10:30 AM eileendk29 Female 50-59 Local Group of Friends
We had a great time on the knitting walk about. Susan is just great and took us to fantastic places. I took my friend as a retirement gift and we both were very happy (But tired) at the end of the day. I highly recommend this trip.

Absolutely a unique and wonderful experience
Fri, Jun 13, 08   10:45 AM maryawhalen Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
The Arthur Avenue Walkabout with Susan was marvelous. Being my first real trip to NYC, I wanted to get a feel for the people who live there, not just the glitz. The stores, the people and the food were "delicious ". Susan was great fun and very considerate, thinking of all the details. I highly recommend walkabouts with Susan.

Checking Little Italy in the Bronx
Sat, Nov 3, 07   11:45 AM k0466u Female 40-49 Local Individual
This tour gives a better alternative to a now tiny area used to be known as Little Italy in Manhattan, as well as a chance to venture out to another borough. Susan's commentary was interesting and the group of the day consisted of both the locals and the overseas visitors. Noshing part of the tour was definitely a plus. I would like to suggest the tour participants to pick up Metro-North Harlem Line's detailed timetable (rather than a small abridged version) from the information desk before the tour. It would provide the information on return train schedule if the tour participants choose to linger around Arthur Avenue, decide to explore the zoo or the botanical garden nearby.

Good Tour/Not enough Seen
Wed, Oct 17, 07   10:30 AM CynthiaHoff Female 50-59 Local Group of Friends
We enjoyed the tour however feel that it would have been better if there had been a time limit set for each store visited. Too much time was spent at 1st location and we didn't get to as many others as we would have liked. This was a great way however to see where some of the little knit/yarn shops are located. Maybe ending the tour at the shop we started with would have worked better. It was a great store and it was hard to leave.
