Discover each neighborhood's delis, street vendors, and unique flavors and see the real Manhattan with a side of history, culture, and community
Here’s everything you need to know before your day unfolds.
You’ll join one of our local NY hosts to discover all that is to be found in Lower Manhattan. Alright, maybe not all; there’s too much to see, eat, drink, and do, but you will enjoy a taste (literally, you’ll be doing some eating) of Chinatown, SoHo, and Little Italy.
Where to begin? It’s up to you, actually - just let us know what your vibe is and if there are any spots you’ve been dreaming of seeing.
We would recommend perusing the delis in Little Italy, though, which have been in the same families for generations, and trying a cannoli or two, then paying homage to NY’s very first pizzeria (by eating a slice, obviously).
Get lost (no, not literally) in the maze of streets in vibrant Chinatown and haggle for a bargain with a street vendor, stop for some dim sum, and then stroll through trendy SoHo, discover its hidden gems that most people miss in their mad dashes around the city!
Lower Manhattan is a surprising kaleidoscope of history, cultures, communities, and flavors that go far beyond just the tourist sights you might have, so get ready to discover another side of this famous area and see the real Manhattan.

I booked the tour for my 60th birthday and was absolutely amazed by the amount of professionalism, flexibility, adaptability, knowledge and cheerfulness of my tour guide, Olga! What an amazing person! Prior to the tour I was sent a questionnaire where I was asked to explain my desired touring experience, from special interests, to specific places to visit, to specific information I would like to hear, to the desired pace of our walk! Absolute professionalism on behalf of the organizers! Olga was a stunning tour guide, she contacted me in advance to arrange our meeting point (she agreed to pick me up at my hotel!) and to confirm my specific interests for the tour. On the day of the tour she had everything perfectly planned, the route, the trivia, the information, she even came prepared with alternatives in case I was tired from long walks or bored with a specific destination- an absolute professional! Olga is an aficionado foodie and she gave me lots of tips on how to get the best pizza, Italian delicacies, Chinese dim-sum or dumpling soup, and even treated me to a coffee, a slice of pizza and an authentic cannoli from the best place to buy Italian pastries, fresh pasta and groceries. An absolutely delightful climax to an unforgettable four-hour walking tour of one of Manhattan’s most historic districts. Highly recommended!
