From managing Fortune 500 confectionery businesses, to buying gourmet chocolates for Bloomingdales, she’s done it all. Compared to other existing tours that focus on more common foods, CFT introduces tour guests to a vast offering of high-quality, artisanal foods and encourage them to support local specialty stores, farmers, and sustainable agriculture. We help people realize that there’s a lot more out there than the processed foods they encounter in mega-marts. « less

I live in NYC, but I was able to see and eat my way through the neighborhood of Nolita like I'd never known before! One of my favorite things to do in life is to explore cities around the world, and eat at local establishments. At a friend's recommendation, I signed up for the Nolita Food Tour right in my... More

I live in NYC and taking this tour made me realize how little I know about NY! I've learned so much in a fun and entertaining way, we even got candy if we had a good answer to the guides question ;-) The tour was very well put together and I was always intrigued, especially that it really gave me...

The tour guide was very nice. Hardly worth the price however. The man that answers the phone at the ONLY number posted in their brochure was very very rude. He actually complained about me calling him and was short. Brochure says meet the group at NE corner, but they were at the SE corner instead. So we could not find... More

NY City Food Tour - our tour took us through NoLita (Little Italy and Chinatown), what a great way to get to know a neighbourhood by eating your way through it! Dan, our guide was very pleasant and informative - little bits of trivia along the way didn't make it feel like it was a history class. The food, the... More

May 11 2013 Hi: This was our first trip to NY. What a fantastic city. Did the food tour on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Our guide, Johnny, was right on time to meet us at a pre-arranged location. He was an enthusiastic New Yorker and a great food lover. We knew we would be in for a great time over... More

I can't rate the tour, but I sure can rate the customer service. AWFUL! My mother-in-law bought us the Upper West Side Chocolate tour for Christmas. Several months before going I developed an allergy to something which is in many baked goods, which rendered me unable to eat anything on the tour. I nicely called the tour operator where we... More

This was our second tour with City Food Tours for our AP English and 20th Century History courses. We had a group of 20 students and three teachers and the trip was outstanding. The staff and guides for City Food Tours are great to work with, very informative and engaging. We have toured the Lower East Side and NoLita with... More

This tour was awesome! First, we got lost and our tour guide, Matt, was very patient and helpful with getting us caught up with the rest of the group. Then when we finally arrived, he had food for us from the first stop which we had missed. Matt was knowledgeable and informative giving us a little bit of history, which... More

We took the Tour with Matt during our weekend trip to NYC. I have to admit to being worried at first that I might not enjoy the experience but I decided that my fellow reviewers on Trip Advisor had never let me down before and I would trust their judgement about the food tours. I was not disappointed! We both... More

This tour was awesome! It's the perfect way to explore a neighborhood because you get to try many different places and also hear the history of the food you're eating as well as the neighborhood your eating it in. I want to do more!! Perfect for anyone.
