- mariestaub20 contributionsGreat experienceDavid our guide was awesome. Great experience! Excellent tour of Lower East Sides famous fares. Definitely would recommend .Written 10 November 2024
- simonnike0 contributionsHistory and delicious food - perfect t!What a great tour! Emmaline was a wonderful tour guide. She is funny, engaging, and informative. You get quite a bit of food on this tour. You won’t leave hungry. We started at Katz’s deli, getting to try the famous pastrami. We also had rugelach, dumplings, bagels, bialys, pickles, and finished with fancy and delicious donuts. The tour also stopped at a historic candy shop and Essex market. Emmaline let us know when bathrooms were available and where we could get additional food or drinks. We also stopped along the tour to learn about the neighborhood and history. Great way to see and taste the LES!Written 4 November 2024

- psr12200 contributionsAnother great tour with Emmeline!I hadn’t visited Astoria yet, so what better way to get to know a new neighborhood than a food tour. As far as I know, Nice Guys is the only company offering a food tour of Astoria. Having already done a tour with them (Lower East Side), booking this tour was an easy decision. The Astoria tour was a great introduction to foods and cuisines I had never tried before and I’m looking forward to having them again. If you’ve done the traditional NYC food tour already (pizza, bagel, etc.) and want something different, this is a great tour.Written 28 September 2024

If you only have time for one activity in NYC, take the NiceGuy Food Tours. It is the best way to experience the city while eating like crazy and checking out neighborhoods that are off the beaten track a bit. From the artichoke pizza at the beginning to the French butter cream frosted cupcake at the end, you will be entertained with city history and a bit of trivia from the amazing Dante. He makes every step amusing and you will love the foods he recommends. We had a great group of fellow tasters and it was a blast. Do not miss NiceGuy Food Tours in Greenwich Village and The Lower East Side. It is one incredible banquet of fun!

From the beginning Dante was more than accommodating. We were in a group of 14 people and I was the fussy dairy free eater- but nothing was too much trouble and instead actually Dante went out of his way to help make sure I could enjoy the experience as much as everyone else even at the dairy stops.
A hugely informative tour and pointing out lots of areas we had skipped that morning even when touring Greenwich village ourselves! We would definitely do the tour again!!! Thanks Dante!!

This was fun. Dante has great local knowledge and is an enthusiastic and friendly tour guide who clearly loves what he does He takes you to some fab local eateries and all the food is included in your tour price. Come hungry and you won’t be sorry. Even traditional food that you have had before - pizza / felafal taste different/ better. You won’t regret choosing this tour. Enjoy

Dante was great. Very knowledgeable and super accommodating to my lactose-intolerant, picky daughter. He limits his tours to 12 people so its an easy/intimate group. He learned our names and very personable through the tour. We were treated to 7 stops! On a hot day the stops were well spaced with several indoor, Air conditioned places with restrooms. My whole family including a teen and picky tween learning alot and left FULL! I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to learn something new and try some of the best food NYC has to offer.

This was such a fun way to pass an afternoon in NYC! If you've visited the city enough times and already hit the main tourist attractions, this is a great low- key activity for a casual afternoon. Dante does an excellent job of helping you learn and explore in a unique (and tasty) way. We had so much fun checking out all the tastes of Greenwich and would highly recommend!!

What a fun experience & FABULOUS time with Dante!! Extremely knowledgeable and personable ... he answered whatever questions we threw at him, knew all sorts of random interesting facts and truly enjoys doing tours! You will NOT go hungry with Dante - we were STUFFED! He did a great job connecting with each person in our tour and when our tour was over, he even made sure we all knew where/how to get back to our hotels or our next adventure. I would definitely recommend any of Dante's tours -- I'll certainly be a repeat customer!

It was cold and pouring rain, but our walk through Greenwich Village with Dante made me forget my wets socks and useless umbrella. Dante answered all sorts of questions with humor and knowledge, his food choices were warming and delicious, and his stories were laugh out loud funny. I can't think of a better way to spend an afternoon in New York City. Thank you Dante.

This tour was fantastic! The selection of food, the pace, the personality and knowledge of our guide, Dante, and the fluidity of the service at all the stops were all perfect. The portions were plenty to fill you up, but the way Dante manages the timing of everything made eating all that delicious food manageable and pleasant. Our group was so nice. Everyone was friendly and talkative enough that we got to know a few folks and even made some new friends that we’re staying in contact with. Dante’s energy facilitated a happy camaraderie within the group that made it even more fun than just eating the food, though that would have been sufficient in and of itself to make a great afternoon. You will not regret this tour.

The tour was very educating about local food and architecture. Dante has a great personality and even though it was a very hot day, he made the tour fun, bit comical and absolutely entertaining. We highly recommend Dante and his tours.

Is it possible we can join the group Wednesday morning, 9:30, even though it appears there is not an opening until Thursday at 2:30? I'm hoping for a cancellation for that 9:30 group. Can I get on a cancellation list?

Hey Guys,
I found your tour last night, Saturday night, and began to plan going on the tour with my husband. This morning I’ve found that you do not have room until 2:30 on Thursday. Unfortunately we depart back for Austin, Texas, on Wednesday evening.
Do you have a wait list for a Wednesday tour? I hoped to sign up for the 9:30 tour just now but am not given a choice for that but instead for Thursday at 2:30.
I’m writing because I know that surely you will have a cancellation for Wednesday at one of your times. We’d like so much to get in on Wednesday. Do you suggest doing anything besides getting on any wait list you may have for Wednesday? I’m dying to taste that New York City food!
Thanks for any help,
Jana Morrison and Howard

I only did the one, but it was fun and very tasty! Pace was good and Dante had actually information about the area ( unlike some that just are superficial and make lots of jokes. We are NOT looking for a comedian). Hope that helps
