5.00Seth was an awesome guide. He was super friendly and really knew his stuff. The food was delicious, especially the sandwich spot which was definitely my favorite stop. Cool mix of history and great food.
A great way to spend an afternoon.

5.00I was born and raised in Brooklyn but moved away many years ago. The thing I missed most was the food. Especially Italian food. Not only was this tour a fun and interesting day to spend the afternoon. I left stuffed with some of my favorite dishes and went back to buy a shopping bag full of food to take home from the various vendors we visited. Highly recommend this tour.
An unforgettable gem of New York

5.00We had a super fun time on the Italian American tour! I’ve lived in New York for years and never realized there was so much good Italian food in Williamsburg and so much history behind it as well. Would definitely recommend this tour to others even if they are local!

5.00INCREDIBLE! One of the best food tours I’ve been on in a long time. I appreciated the attention to detail around the historical context of the neighborhood and Italian America history in general. Not to mention, the food was absolutely amazing. My favorites were the Carbonara (best i’ve ever had) and of course the cannolis. Highly recommend this tour!
