Our bad luck with an average tourguide. Also overpriced for what you get.
micha_v, Mar 2024
The tourguide John didn´t particular made an event out of this far over-priced tour. Being a private tour of two, he even didn´t bother to find out the name of my friend. The ipad screen being smudgy and pictures difficult to read (on my comment on this I got back a ´o yes, that happens´). Mentioned we keep kosher he elaborated on a standard beef jerky joint, which we should really try. Well yes, not for us. The start of the tour is in front of the magnificent Eldridge Str Synagogue. I knew the entrance fee was not included, but also John intended to discourage us from going in because the tour was after all a food tour. All in all, we have had many, many excellent tourguides and believe John has a few things to learn how to attend to tourists (listening better never hurt anyone).
Great

Gabi, our tour guide was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and easy to be with. All great qualities you want in a professional tour guide. The private lower east side tour was fantastic. We really enjoyed in spite of the cold snap.
