Totally worth it!! We were able to cover a lot of areas in Central Park, with many photo opportunities.Loved all of the information provided by our tour guide. Would travel again with this provider
My friend and I went on the CityShuffles Tour of Dumbo this past April and had a great time. Today we went on the CityShuffles Tour of Soho, Chinatown and Little Italy. We had a great time discovering the fascinating stories behind these famous, conic sections of the city. Our guide Courtney was a delight. Very friendly, knowledgeable and spirited. I highly recommend CityShuffles to visitors and locals alike!
A really great experience with Courtney, who showed us hidden gems and shared fascinating stories about SoHo, Little Italy, and Chinatown! Highly recommended!!
Peter was a knowledgeable guide, who shared interesting perspectives about the architecture, history, and food of these areas. He invited questions and conversations. It was a great tour.
The guide Ian was perfect I enjoyed it and learned a lot
I had the most amazing experience with Jon from CityShuffles! I’ve taken a tour with him before and he has an answer for everything. I’m from nyc and I’ve never met anyone more knowledgeable about the smallest details. I was so impressed with how smoothly the tour moved with so many people in busy areas! Jon is professional and fun! I felt very taken care of.
We had a really great tour with Jon through SoHo, Little Italy and Chinatown. Honestly, one of the best city tours we have done. Jon was very friendly, welcoming and always helpful. What we liked most was his huge knowledge about New York. He explained not only the famous places, but also the history, architecture, food culture and daily life in the different neighborhoods. For us as non-native English speakers, the tour was also very easy to follow. Jon spoke clearly and explained everything in a way that was interesting and understandable without being too complicated. What made the tour special was that it felt like much more than normal sightseeing. It really felt like getting an insight into how people lived and still live in these parts of New York and how immigration shaped the city over time. We also got many great recommendations for food and places we would never have found ourselves. You can really feel that Jon enjoys what he is doing. Highly recommended if you want to understand New York a little deeper and not only see the typical tourist spots.
Great tour. Jon was knowledgeable and very friendly. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to get to know Lower Manhattan
The tour with John was really fun! He is a guide full of energy and enthusiasm, answered all the questions we had, and constantly made sure that everyone was having fun and understood everything. He knows a lot, I learned a lot about the neighborhoods, and I enjoyed hearing stories and anecdotes. He made sure that we didn't stand in the sun, that we didn't get too wet in the rain that started unexpectedly, and gave us recommendations for restaurants and different places worth visiting. I had a great time!
Had an awesome time out the Soho Little Italy Chinatown tour with Jon- best tours in the city!
Mike is an experienced, well-prepared, and informative guide. His storytelling made our SoHo tour fun and we learned so much with all the context he added.
Really knowledgeable and friendly tour guide! Also gave a lot of food recommendations and even bought us a food surprise I highly recommend!
Myself and my family had the most incredible time on our tour with Jon. The tour was perfectly paced and guided by what can only be described as a magical story teller. We all learned so much about the real soho, little Italy and China town, the good , the bad and the beautiful. Thank you for making our holiday most special Jon.
Highly recommend, we were originally booked with another tour operator where the guide never turned up. Jon let us join him, he was really knowledgeable and entertaining. Me and the wife really enjoyed ourselves. Possibly (and probably ) the best tour guide in North America !!!
Jon has changed the way I think about tourism. I've done three tours with City Shuffles, and now it's the only way I want to do tours.
We had a great time with Jon, who is full of knowledge about the neighbourhood. He knows about everyday life, architecture, food, tradition.... it´s a prefect mix. We had a 16year-old with us and she was fascinated aswell.
The guide was excellent! So energetic and knowledgeable! We loved walking through SOHO and little Italy. Our guide gave us many restaurant recs.
Very interesting and funny tour! John, our guide, was so great :) he talked about architecture, general history of the city and recommended the best food 🍕 We did an extra hour of tour, after John asked us if we wanted to: it was awesome! Thanks again <3
We had such a great time. This was the conversation and insight you want from a motivated tour guide. He lavished us with remarkable history and tidbits we’d never have known. My next tour will be with him!
Our guide was excellent! So many informations about soho, little italy and chinatown. He was funny too.Better than expected
For anyone who loves diving deep into the history of SoHo, Little Italy, and Chinatown, Garrett's Tour is a absolutly must-do.
Great time yesterday with CityShuffles, Jon Noto. Knowledgeable guide covering well history and architecture of the places we visited. Also shared good tips for other sightseeing activities in NYC. Thank you.
Four of us enjoyed our tour starting near the courthouse, Chinatown, Little Italy and Soho. Lots of history, a stop for $5 dumplings, more stories of the action right on the street you are walking (think Gangs of New York). A stop for cannoli at Cannoli King (probably the worst cannoli I have ever tasted - super sweet and zero ricotta) and then Soho warehouse district (think Demi Moore in Ghost) for the history and the architecture. Garrett was awesome!!!
Jon did it! 2 hours through Soho, Little Italy and Chinatown, lot of good-to-know facts and insights. Very nice guy, easy to understand, perfect pace. Well done!
The Tour was Great. Our Guide Jon was well informed and guide us trough SoHo, Little Italy and China Town. The lunch spot was 💯, too.
The Tour with Jon was amazing. The best way to get to know Manhattan. I also did the tour of the Brooklin Bridge and it was sensational. I highly recommend.
Wonderful!! The tour is amazing. Extremely complete, interesting, full of stories, and completely changes the way you see the neighborhoods of Chinatown, Little Italy, Soho. Everything gets much more interesting as the walk. It's very worth it. I highly recommend
