We have experienced lots of New York on guided bike tours / on foot under our own steam. We took the Tenements, Tales, and Tastes tour to see and hopefully learn a little more about the history and lower east side.
We were very lucky in having our guide, Erik to ourselves. Erik was a charming, friendly and very knowledgeable individual who added to the experience.
Great insight into both the previous and modern happenings in the area. The food stops are well chosen and excellent fare.
Highly recommended - be sure to layer up if taking before May /June as it does get cold in the wind!

We took the Lower East Side food tour with Eric. Eric was a fantastic guide. He was knowledgeable, interesting, and patient. He kept not only the adults attention, but also our four children from ages 5-14. He was patient and gave us wonderful recommendations for the remainder of our trip!
NYC: The Story Of Lower East Side's Food Culture:
Excellent tour of the food and history of the immigrant communities of the Lower East Side. We learned all about the history of (primarily) the Chinese, Italian, Jewish immigrant neighborhoods, with a focus on their foods including some yummy samples along the way. Our guide Erik was fantastic, and I can't recommend him enough. He was incredibly knowledgeable but was able to pass this along in an easy-to-follow and interesting manner. He also added a good amount of humor, which was perfect. If you take this tour, I highly recommend you ask for Erik to be your guide!

We had an absolutely incredible food/cultural tour of the Lower East Side ("NYC: The Story of Lower East Side's Food Culture"). Our guide Erik was passionate and knowledgeable and overall amazing despite the cold day - he even accommodated tricky dietary preferences. The mix of history and food was perfect. I had booked a private tour for my parents and friends who were from out of town visiting New York and honestly I could not have asked for anything better.
We took the Hamilton tour with Sam and it was an A++ tour! Sam was friendly, knowledgeable and treated us all like dear friends. He was able to answer my many questions along the way. This tour was a great precursor to watching the Hamilton play. Thank you Sam!!
we had the very lovely mikayla for our Hamilton tour . It was hot and she did such an amazing job. She was extremely informative and understanding of the heat trying to seek shade where possible
She was so great with a couple of kids who have seen the stage show . Hasn’t that been awesome for history lessons for generations to come !!!!
We loved and highly highly recommend this tour

We did the DUMBO food tour with Angelo and it was AMAZING! We are local New Yorkers, looking to learn more about the area and enjoy good local eats. Angelo was clearly well researched in the area- we learned so much. The food stops were delicious. High recommend this tour, especially with Angelo!
