The guides here really shine, with Gabi, Benoit, Kristin, and Ben earning enthusiastic praise across the board. Travelers consistently mention how knowledgeable and engaging these guides are, mixing local history with food expertise in a way that feels natural rather than scripted. The personal touch stands out too—one guide bought water for a guest who only had a card, while another accommodated a group's bathroom and snack breaks without missing a beat. The food tours seem to be the main attraction, taking groups through Brooklyn's DUMBO area and other NYC neighborhoods with multiple tasting stops that reviewers genuinely loved. Clinton Street's blueberry pancakes, tacos, and pizza get specific shout-outs. The pacing works well, giving people time to enjoy both the food and the sightseeing without feeling rushed. Several visitors mentioned booking multiple tours or planning to return, which speaks volumes. These tours appear particularly great for first-time NYC visitors who want that insider perspective mixed with memorable eats.
Gabi was excellent. The tour was perfect. The top of the Rock add-on was wonderful. No notes. I’ve now been on three of their tours, all with Gabbi. Things have gone so smoothly if I come back to town, I’d probably do another one just on the principle of making sure my experience is perfect. Every time I visit the city.
