Lower East Side Food Tour In Nyc: 6 Tastings + Famous Landmarks

Amanda was a terrific tour guide. She was personable, made an effort to individually connect with each guest, and shared a wealth of knowledge on history, cuisine, geography, culture, and current events with us. Her content was interesting and pertinent to the streets we walked. I feel like I walked away with so many fun facts to share with my friends and family. I will definitely book another tour with Nice Guys.

Alexandra was our tour guide, and she was amazing! She had so much historical perspective to share and that really enhanced the tour. Come hungry, as the portions at the six stops will fill you up, and wear comfortable walking shoes. The water provided at the beginning stop was a bonus. The pace of the tour, number of stops, and time at each stop was perfect, and the variety of food offerings was excellent. This was my second time on this same tour (different guide last time), and I learned something each time - it's not a "canned" tour, so that was appreciated!

Well done tour and “nosh” fest - David, the tour guide was fantastic

We had an excellent food tour of the Lower East Side with David. We learned so much about the area of NYC and tasted some classic dishes. Thank you, David!

Excellent tour. I've done many food tours in cities around the world and this is now a clear favorite -- mainly because of tour guide Amanda!! Her knowledge of all things New York coupled with her excellent selection of stops made for a perfect tour. Arrive hungry. Delicious food and fun experiences abound.

Very fun tour of the Lower East Side. Highly recommend for a 3 hour activity. Guide was great. Not strenuous

Ian was so fantastic! You could tell he loved the history and was so fun to talk to during the walks in between stops! We had one moment not be able to come and he made sure we got their portion of food at every stop! The food was delicious! Highly recommend!

This is a good walking tour that allows you to experience the lower east side and enjoy some bites to eat. We started at the world famous Katz’s for some pastrami. Then on to Russ and daughters - some Chinese - bagels - pickles and donuts . Although the guide was late, the tour organizer thoughtfully offered to refund our $. I would recommend this tour to see the evolution of the lower west side, its Jewish roots and delicious food.

Amanda was amazing and so friendly! She made an effort to get to know us all and was very knowledgeable about the area’s history and its food.

Took the New York City Lower East Side Walking and Food Tour today, with my sister. We had a fantastic guide, Ian. He did an amazing job of giving us a thorough overview of the Lower East Side, as well as being very informative about the many food establishments that we visited. The tastings at each stop, were all delicious, as well as being generous in size! Glad we didn't eat a big breakfast this morning! I highly recommend that you consider taking this tour. Many thanks to Ian, for making our tour so enjoyable.

Was great tour. Very informative, Amanda the tour guide was a pleasure. Portions of food were generous. .

We had a great tour of the Lower East Side + a bit of Chinatown with David as our guide. The food, of course, was fantastic. David was a great guide to the area's history and architecture, with an emphasis on the tenement history.

David was an incredible tour guide, highly recommend. Very knowledgeable, very friendly, blessed to have him be our guide.

Highly recommend this relaxed tour of a great area in New York. Whole family enjoyed the walk, food and little bit of history along the way. Our tour guide Amanda was brilliant, fun, interesting and interested. Best 3 hours of our trip to New York.

My wife and I enjoyed very much the Lower East Side Food and Walking Tour. Amanda Levy, our guide, was knowledgeable, friendly and thoughtful. She was attentive and helpful even with small details like packaging extra food--there was a lot of it--for us to take with us after the tour. The stops were enjoyable with tasty food and plenty of it. It's a nice mix of great food, Lower East Side history and what's happening in the neighborhood now. I am glad I booked it.

Such a wonderful experience! We loved the rich and vibrant history that our guide provided. He personalized it so well for our small group of two families. The food, history, and route provided a priceless experience during our NYC trip!
