Have been dying to go to this tour since NYC is so rich in culture and history. My husband and I arrived and were greeted by Joel, he was extremely welcoming and provided us with some neat brochure with related info in it.

We hit all the important spots of the tour plus some local food favorites!

Joel was so insightful and light hearted it made the tour a complete breeze!

We finished off in Chinatown and Joel was kind enough to make sure everyone knew where they were going afterwards and wouldn’t get lost.

Great tour!!!

Robin, our tour guide kept our interest during the whole tour because she was knowledgeable and showed much passion & enjoyment in taking us on the tour through Little Italy & Chinatown. We will be taking another tour with her on the Lower East side of Manhattan. Thanks, Robin, Lorie & Andrew!

My husband is really into anything Mafia related and watches so many documentaries I worried the tour wouldn't be great for him, couldn't have been more wrong. He learned even more (as did I) and got to see some great places to feel like it brought all the information to life.
Robin was a great tour guide and tailored it to our interests, Ben was also a great driver.
It was a little pricey but we are glad we did the private vehicle tour over a group walking tour (not least because it was pouring down)
we loved the Italian bakery she took us for for Canolli and we got to meet John the owner who had good stories of his own

I took this tour in preparation for a book on the history of the Mafia that I plan to co-author with my writing partner, who joined me on the tour. I can honestly say that I didn't expect to cover so much ground or gather so much information. Robin's knowledge spans not only the history of the Five Families but also the Jewish Mob in New York, the Chicago Outfit, the Purple Gang of Detroit, and other ancillary organized crime groups. We were amazed to see the bullet hole still visible in the lobby of the Majestic apartment building from Vincent Gigante's attempted assassination of Frank Costello. From this location on 72nd street we made our way down to the Lower East Side and Little Italy, where we saw Lucky Luciano's childhood home and John Gotti's Ravenite Social Club, and we managed to hit every major Mob-related point of interest in between. I also got a box of the best cannoli I've ever tasted, though I'm not sure if this is a standard part of the tour! I saw parts of Manhattan I never knew existed, and learned fascinating secret histories of some streets and neighborhoods I've passed through hundreds of times before. Our driver, Arkady, was somehow able to park us directly in front of many important landmarks for photo opportunities and a few quick tours. Between his professional luxury vehicle service and Robin's vast knowledge, this is the best Mafia tour of New York that I could ever imagine taking. For me it's an easy 5/5!

Thank you so much for the great review. I really enjoyed showing you and Bill around the haunts of the mob in NYC. Can't wait for the book to come out and read it.

Visitor and native New Yorker alike will enjoy Robin London's 2-l/2 hour walking tour of Little Italy, Chinatown and Five Points, revksiting The Big Apple's colorful gangster past.
Robin is a vast storehouse of the history of the origin of the gangsters of New York--from Joseph Masssaria, Meyer Lansky, Lucky Luciano, Arnold Rothstein, Albert Anastasia, Joseph Colombo, Joe Gallo, Paul Costellano, Carlo Gambino and John Gotti, among others. She relates dozens of colorful anecdotes and bits of trivia about the lives--and deaths--of the mob bosses whose names you know from "Mean Streets," "Goodfellas," "The Godfather," "Donnie Brasco," "Boardwalk Empire," and other movies and TV shows you're familiar with. Make sure you wear your walking shoes...and be prepared for a three hour experience--even though the tour is billed as a 2-l/2 hour one. Robin is more interested in sharing her knowledge and answering questions than in making sure she restricts her time! A highly recommended, fun experience in NYC>

My daughter asked for a 16th birthday trip to NYC. Since it's one of my favorite places to visit and I hadn't been in 25 years, I was happy to plan it. I was looking for a way to cram all the sites/history into our 4 short days there, and stumbled upon Metro NYC Tours on Tripadvisor. I read the reviews and sent the link to the family and everyone was excited.

I communicated with Robin (who is great at getting back with you quickly, and giving ideas!) and we planned an 8 hour private tour stating in Grand Central Station, then continuing on the Lower East Side and up to the Highline/Chelsea Market.

Robin has a wealth of information and is funny and a great storyteller. Within minutes, she knew all of our names and started catching on to our individual personalities. It quickly felt like we were hanging with an old friend, rather than someone we hired to perform a service.

I can't wait to visit NYC again, because I'm dying to do her mob tour. I highly recommend Robin to anyone looking for a fun day out learning about the city she loves!

Thanks, Robin!

Robin London is a gifted guide, the perfect combination of knowledgable, passionate about her subject matter with a relatable sense of humor. I am a born and raised New Yorker and still walked away from Robin's tour with new knowledge and understanding of this great city. Thank you, Robin!

This was the second tour we have taken with Robin. She is so passionate about the neighborhoods she tours, and we learned so much. We had not ever been to Brooklyn, and Brooklyn Heights has wonderful architecture and is a charming mixture of commercial and residential neighborhoods, not to mention the incredible views of the Manhattan skyline. Don't miss this tour!!

This tour was something we looked foward to for a long time! I booked it as a birthday gift because this is such niche interest, especially so for mob movie lovers as ourselves. One complaint though: the guide spoke too fast, and the descriptions were so fast-paced that we could barely keep up with the names of one gangster to the next, and their relationships. Nevertheless, the guide kept us entertained and interested, and it was great to engage with our Little Italy surroundings one crisp New York morning. Our tour guide also gave us great recommendations for places to eat in the area too, much appreciated.

My husband loves mafia history and this tour did an awesome job at showing us the “behind the scenes” history. We all really enjoyed it. We would not have seen the majority of the sites had we not been in this tour. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly.
