Loved the different places we got to see . Wish there was some more variety including eggplant . Sponge cake and pizza were the best

Great tour!

Margaret_S, Aug 2023

We had a lovely tour. We had some very rare experiences and got a good bit of history with our food tasting!

Don't waste your money or time.

Jay_P, Feb 2023

Paid $140.00, planned my whole day around this event, paid $35 for a lift to the meeting spit only to receive an email while in route that the event was canceled and rescheduled until the following day which does me no good as We are leaving to go back home that day. Requested a refund and haven't heard back from anyone since. My scam senses are going berserk!

Mark_D, Jul 2021

Lee our guide was great! Lots of food/Mob history to go along with our foodie tour. Only suggestion is have one stop you can go into the establishment and sit and eat.

Italian Treat!

J9013HLdebram, Oct 2019

We enjoyed our walking tour very much. It was interesting to hear a bit of the history, as well as sample some of the foods that have stood the test of time. Delicious! We stayed in the area after to enjoy a cappuccino and pastry in one of the bakeries.

i am a Foodie doing a lot of food...

Angelika S, Dec 2017

i am a Foodie doing a lot of food tours. This was really poor. Much information about Little Italy, a lot of socalled fun facts that were not food realated and the food consisted og one bite of cheese, one sclico of ham, dry bread and a very small slice of pizza and and extra small canolli. the quality was good, buthad no more value than 5 or 6 Dollars. The worst fact was that we always stood in in noisy and crowded places and never went into a location or were seated at a table. This and at least one beverage is standard on food tours!!! The guide must have felt that because he recommended places to go and eat after the tour which is a no- go after a food tour! Not recommendable!!!!!
