“Whole lotta carbs on this food tour. I loved Katz’s, the dumpling’s, and the bagel shop, but would loved to have had some kind of sampling at the market. I’d also love another stop with proteins rather than the donuts (the rugelach was a better sweet. I’d replace pickles and donuts. David was very friendly and knowledgeable. Had a good time but was not high on my list of best food tours.”

“Alex was a lovely tour guide and very informative. My store comes from previous reviews we've been on, we found this one inferior to others. It has nothing to do with the guide but instead the choices of eateries, this is due to both the food options but also the venues of said eateries. It feels like its a bit disjointed. Started the tour with half a crossaint isnt the best, its not exactly something that makes alot of sense, especially as its just given to you at an unrelated venue. I also feel there should be beverages included. Overall its just OK, I personally wouldn't reccomend this particular tour.”
