I can't wait for my next trip to take another walking tour with this tour company. Onel is knowledgeable, personable, engaging, humorous, thoughtful and kept us on time! He knew exactly where to stop for photo ops and gave us plenty of time for them - I appreciated the scheduled bathroom break at clean bathrooms and the stop for drinks/snacks at the most perfect grocery store that I wish was in my neighborhood. The tour ended at lunchtime in the perfect location with several food options as well as close to both the ferry and trains for the return commute to Manhattan. I highly recommend this walking tour with Onel as your guide - you won't regret it!

I can't say enough good things about this entire experience. The tour we wanted was sold out,…read morebummer. Sent a message to see what was recommended as far as the availability of a wait list or moving tickets from walking to bus tour would be easy. Scott himself responded, almost immediately with his recommendations. Purchased the walking tour tickets, put ourselves on the wait list for the bus tour and watched emails like a hawk for the few days before our scheduled date. The pizza tour Gods smiled on us and the wait list opened up. I called to get our tickets moved and talked to Scott who handled the whole transfer quickly for me because once the wait list opens up it opens up for everyone on it. He was very helpful in scoring those seats for us and understood the urgency. LOL. That's ALL before we even got to our first meeting place. We met the tour and Scott at Keste in the Financial District. I had read in my research that the tour stops aren't planned ahead and I was skeptical, but you could see him figuring it out as he figured out his group for the day. One of the attendees had taken the tour a year prior, they played a game of guess the spot so he didn't repeat stops for her and the very large group of family that she brought with her on this tour. There was one request for a spot in Brooklyn but he couldn't make it happen due to their hours, not that he wouldn't have moved heaven and earth if he could have. We had a smaller than usual tour group because of timing and a LI RR strike and you could just see that this opened up other options for places to go. After Keste we were able to do two stops in the Bronx, one in East Harlem. There was even an ice cream, water ice store next door to the last pizzeria. So much thought went into this route. Scott was able to take this group to places he hadn't been to in quite some time due to the distance and size of the group. Back to Keste-- what tour guide takes his entire group and takes over the kitchen, helping himself to dough balls and creating pies as he discussed pizza history?? We saw the kitchen and oven in each establishment and each shop was welcoming and friendly. Scott is a wealth of knowledge and enjoyed sharing his story and the story of all of the stops we visited. Pizza is an absolute passion project for him. Highly recommend!

We chose the private family tour and booking was quick and easy and the customer service as great as I remembered. On to the tour itself: Luke met us at the Museum of Natural History on time and we got reacquainted. My son is autistic and can have some trouble warming to new people but absolutely no the case with Luke, he immediately put my son at ease and they were chatting like old friends as we made our way into Central Park. The tour covered loads of Central Park, including an exciting off track visit to a secret cave, the plaza hotel, grand central station, some fun subway rides, and concluded at the Brooklyn Bridge. But more than just seeing so many iconic sites, Luke had hundreds of facts and stories (which my son loved) about what we were seeing. It was truly like spending a wonderful day with an old friend. I cannot recommend highly enough Luke and Real New York Tours. Until next time!

On this walking tour, we will first meet in the West Village in front of the historic Village Vanguard, New York City’s oldest operating jazz club since 1935. We will give a brief history lesson about the world famous venue and its humble beginnings, where such greats as Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Mary Lou Williams, Keith Jarret, Stan Getz, and the Thad Jones / Mel Lewis Orchestra performed regularly. Next we will make a stop at one of the nearby Village coffee shops, cafes, or specialty shops. The highlight will take place during the final hour, where we will attend a live jazz concert (one 45-minute set) at one of the historic jazz clubs in Greenwich Village. The club will vary each walking tour depending on who will be performing that night; however rest assured, we will secure the best performances and spots available. Don’t be surprised if we get to see up close some of the greatest jazz musicians in the world and even occasionally the famous jazz musicians themselves. There may be a chance (no guarantees!) after the band’s set, to get a group photo-op with the band or performer, depending on the show chances can be good.  This will definitely be a truly unforgettable experience for all lovers of NYC history and jazz.

You can't get this experience anywhere else on the planet. I am not the "tour type" of person, but am so glad to have experienced this one. We covered a lot of ground and knowledge during the tour. You'll get tons of photo/selfie opportunities if that's your thing. I appreciate the hustle part of this tour - it's not super polished which was cool. The host was full of energy and humor, and the driver was on the grumpy side which made the dynamic even better - a little Eric B and Rakim type of thing... Anyway if you are on the fence about this do it now - we hesitated and were lucky to get the last two seats on the tour. They also sell merch so you can get a hat or t shirt for your friend that lagged it too long and didn't get on the tour. Plus, if you bring grandma they will teach her how to bust out in a b-boy stance.

We were scouting Hush for a future trip with a crew of high school students and they will lose their minds at the stories, videos and RayZa's live rap while on the bus transversing sites like the room where Hip Hop started, August 11, 1973, to the basketball court of the "shot heard round the world."

Where to begin? Was…read moreit the Checker Marathon cab? The food? Was it (the not at all) Fat Dave? Some things are just ethereal. Not to wax poetic on YELP but Famous Fat Dave's Food Tours penetrates deeply. Food touches the soul, culture touches the soul, history touches the soul, and so experiencing all of that with Dave touched my kids and my soul. The 'food tour' had that intangible "what makes something special" in spades. I am a native New Yorker, transplanted to the West Coast 20 years ago. I came to NYC, with my 2 kids and one of their friends after my dad passed (3 weeks ago) to experience it in a way that we haven't before. As a native, I'd never thought I would consider myself a tourist, but keeping an open mind and wishing for a special experience for the (teenage!) kids, I signed up. Dave literally transformed our visit. Dave's passion for food reflects his passion for life. He's academic, Bohemian, a foodie, a great (vintage cab) driver, a local, and at your service with a smile. Give Dave the type of food you want (or don't want!), the area you want to visit (or don't want!), the length of time and experience you want (or don't want!) and he will accommodate. Dave is responsive by text, phone, or email. He's relaxed, professional, caring, thoughtful, organized, and super well connected with the locals. Dave will show you as diverse a food experience as you want. We went to 9 places throughout the City and Brooklyn, in about 5 hrs. That was a lot, but it flowed so well! There's a lot of eating, so he paces you - trust him - he's done this many times (with some of the most celebrated chefs in the world as well - check out his website.) We broke up the tour for some digesting and a change of pace by visiting Coney Island and chillaxing (teen lingo) at the Boardwalk for about 45 or so minutes. Perfect time to recharge and have some more fun with the locals. Eating the best pizza, Italian sandwiches, Asian soups, and desserts in NY, at the cozy, hole in the wall, locally loved favorites (with all the personalities that come with that!), we were more than satisfied at the end!! Dave's Food Tours is memorable in every way. Some things just have to be experienced. This is one of them. On behalf of my fam, and especially my Dad... thank you Dave. PS. Ask Dave what's splattered and stuck on his microwave's wall ... and what's in his freezer!! Bound to get a good story and smile!
