My wife and I's first trip to New York and our first time doing a food tour ever and David was amazing. He was instantly funny,, welcoming and an immediate friend. We chose the Greenwich tour and the food was great. There was a wide variety of tastes for every pallet. David delivered history behind the food that gave you a feel for the community we were walking through. Nice guys food tours was a highlight of our trip. read more

Loved the LES food tour with Nice Guys Tours! We started at the famous Katz Deli and ended up stopping at 5 other places over the 3 hour tour. All good stops were fantastic. Emmeline was an amazing tour guide and explained about the history and culture of the area. Come hungry!! read more

My friends and I took the lower east side food tour with Nice Guy Tours in June 2023 and I could not recommend it enough. Dante was absolutely amazing. Super knowledgeable about the neighborhood and was able to tell us so much history about both the area and the food we were eating. We met at Katz's Deli which was also our first stop on the tour and had the most delicious pastrami of my life. We then stopped at several other places -- Vanessa's for dumplings, Kossar's for bialys, the Pickle Guys, Economy Candy, Russ and Daughters, and Doughnut Plant. You truly get your moneys worth with all of the food samplings and all of the store owners really enjoyed seeing Dante! A big reason we booked this specific food tour is because on their website it said it was good for dairy free people and they were right! Our friend has a dairy free diet and Dante was able to accommodate her at every stop. It was awesome and this is truly unique which I'm sure you understand if you have a dietary restriction! They have a food tour of Greenwich village that I would like to do on another trip to NYC. read more

What a fantastic way to begin our four-day visit to NYC. If I could give 10 stars, I would! Ian was an absolute delight and full of local knowledge. We made 7 stops, and each one was delicious. From artichoke pizza to Belgian Fries to Falafel and everything in between, it was perfect. My only suggestion is to skip the second pizza stop and add something different from the others. I was the oldest person on the tour with six others, and Ian was cognizant of my walking constraints and accommodated me accordingly. He also was very aware of my garlic allergy and made sure I wasn't exposed to any during these tastings. I HIGHLY recommend you take this tour. You won't be disappointed in the food or the guide! read more

We took a Nice Guy Tour last year in Greenwich Village that was great so we decided to try another one this year in the East Village. It did not disappoint! Emmeline was both informative and entertaining and the places that she took us to were delicious! I loved coming home with both donuts and bagels, and would have brought home some pastrami and more if we didn't have such a long drive : ) These tours are great for all ages and I highly recommend! read more

Tour leader was lovely and informative. My favorite place was pastrami at Katz and Donut Plant. Wife loved pickles and Russ and daughters. Thanks Dante, go Knicks read more

We did the Greenwich Village food tour and it was one of the most enjoyable tours I've been on, including food tours over the years. Adam was a friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. We had a food allergy and he went over each food with us to determine if it was safe for us, and at a couple of stops he got an alternate option that we could eat. It was most appreciated! Thank you Adam and Nice Guy Tours! Would definitely book another tour with Nice Guy Tours. read more

Nice Guy Tours - Stonewall Inn, which Adam pointed out and gave a brief history/context of as we walked to our next food stop. - Food Tours Near Me - New York, New York

Absolutely amazing food/neighborhood tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable of the area and the food choices were amazing! My favorite item-Pomme Frites, crispy and light and the variety of dipping sauces were a great addition. The food offered were large enough portions that you are indeed full by the end of the tour. I took the Greenwich Village tour and it was about 3 hours and worth every minute. I had a question prior to the tour date and Dante was quick to respond. The website is user friendly and the FAQs page is very helpful. You will need transposition to and from the meeting site, the cost of the tour includes food and a bottle of water. Be sure to let them know of any food allergies and/or intolerances, they will try to accommodate you as best as possible. I'd take the tour again in a heartbeat and back to back! That's just how amazing and delicious everything was. They have two neighborhood offerings so be sure to choose the one that will meet your needs. On my next visit I hope to do the Lower East Side Tour! read more

Absolutely amazing time! Adam did a marvelous job guiding us around town. He was funny, charismatic, and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this tour group! read more

I had specifically been searching for food tours of the lower East side and found this one. Wow, what luck! This tour led by Dante was certainly one of the highlights of our week in New York City. From the moment we met him at Katz Deli at the beginning of the tour, he exuded warmth, good humor, friendliness and a genuine passion and knowledge for the foods and restaurants he guided us through. I recommend this tour very highly! read more

Amazing food was expected (Expectations were exceeded! Best pizza I've ever had), but the real highlight of the tour was Dante, the tour guide. He was incredibly warm and very witty. He dropped historical knowledge as we walked the streets (the narrowest building in NYC was awesome), in addition to stories and information about the food places (the proper way to cook a bagel, 40 dipping sauces for french fries!!) Dante also made sure that the group wasn't just a bunch of strangers, prompting interaction between the 10 other people (having a smaller sized group also was a plus). We made great bonds with a couple from Australia, a mother and her grown son, and some visiting Canadians. My girlfriend demands that we take Nice Guy's food tour of the Lower East Side the next time we visit NYC, and I couldn't be happier about that! read more

We went on the Greenwich Village Food Tour, and our guide was David who was amazing! The variety of food was great with accommodations to any allergies or diets (very vegetarian friendly!) and all of the tid bits of info about the food and city were very informative and fun to learn about. The food itself was delicious, and we were very full by the end of the tour. Highly recommend David as a guide who was super friendly and made the experience very enjoyable! Would definitely try another tour! read more

My wife and I booked this tour in advance of our trip to NY. We had looked at a number of similar tours online and decided on Dante's. Right from the first moment we met him, it was awesome. He was super friendly and just a really nice guy...the kind of guy you would be lucky to have as a friend. And the food...OMG! Everything was awesome but highlights were Katz's Deli, and the cream cheese at Kossar's, which were my favorites. We had a nice small group which was also a bonus because you felt like you got to know everyone in the group by the end of the trip. If you are coming to NYC and don't want to just hangout at Time Square but want to experience a little of the city's varied culture, you should really check this tour out. read more

I did a Greenwich Village food tour with Billy. It was so much fun. he was so knowledgeable, so friendly, so informative! I highly recommend it even though I lived in New York City and consider myself a local. I still enjoyed it and my 11 year old daughter loved it! read more

Just took my third(YES! 3rd) with Nice Guys Food Tour yesterday. My second with Dante on the Lower East side and it was wonderful as usual! This time I came prepared....only my morning coffee so I was hungry for all the wonderful food we would get to eat. Dante is filled with a wealth of interesting information about the Lower East side and has made connections with the owners of some of the best food available in the area. see you again real soon Dante! read more

We did the Lower East Side tour, and Adam was our host. We hit some iconic spots and the food sampling was great. Adam was very informative and did a good job of making everyone feel included. You can't go wrong with this tour! read more

Loved Nice Guy Tours! Went on the tour of Greenwich Village mid-March (luckily we had great weather) and learned so much about the area and the local dining. We also ate at some yummy spots- about 7 in total- so come HUNGRY! I REPEAT, COME HUNGRY! Thanks again Dante, hopefully we will be back sooner than later and will go on the other walking tour! read more

Dante is the greatest! He picks the best spots for his food tours and he's a wealth of knowledge of the city!

Have only had great experiences on Dante's tours. He's a great, super informative tour guide and makes the tour very entertaining. And even though I am a lifelong New Yorker, I enjoyed visiting some iconic restaurants and stores that I hadn't been to before. Now that I've moved away from the city (only an hour and a half), I plan to attend other tours in the future just to get a little taste of home once in a while. read more

Nice Guy Tours is definitely the way to go if you want to be acquainted with Greenwich Village as well as a bit of NY history! Dante is a gracious host! He immediately came into our meeting place (Molly's Cupcakes) full of energy (maybe too much before I had my coffee-kidding) and excitement!! He offered us water, patiently waited for those that got stuck in the rain and explained what stops we'd make along our tour! He took us to local favorites, top rated Zagat spots, and showed us historical as well as popularized (Monica's apt. from Friends) real estate along the way. The food stops we went to got me out of my comfort zone from having a falafel with a very hot sauce to an incredibly creamy artichoke pizza, a sandwich that could bury Subway's reputation in a heartbeat, the ins and outs of distinguishing a true NY bagel from a faux one to a yummy build your own cupcake! I also loved Washington Square park where I felt like I had stepped onto a movie studio lot! Dante of Nice Guys Tours was humorous and extremely personable! I dubbed him "The Coolest Dude in New York!" I'd definitely recommend you take this food tour but only with Dante because he truly is a nice guy!!! read more

Perfect tour! Best way to see a neighborhood and sample delicious food. So much food... don't eat before!

**CALLING ALL FOODIES** We did the Greenwich food tour which was a great area to see!! Dante was a phenomenal host and knew how to have a good time. Not only did we eat, but we learned about the neighborhood and got to see some unique spots along the way. Dante is passionate about what he does and that passion over flows into this tour. He is also about quality. He only does tours of 12 max so that you don't feel overwhelmed and overly crowded (Some of the spots are tiny, but hey that's New York for ya!) You will be eating tons of amazing foods so come hungry hungry hungry! Will be back for the Lower East Side tour! read more

Had such an amazing time on the LES food tour with Dante!!! Went on this tour with my team at work and we had so much fun and the food was amazing! So much food we were all stuffed. Dante was great and made the tour so much fun. I would recommend this tour to anyone! I'm from NYC and had an amazing time - would also recommend to anyone touring the city that wants amazing food and some history about some of the most classic places in the city!! read more

Amazing tour of Greenwich Village. Food was great but even better was the tour guide and info we got about the west village and Greenwich Village. Highly recommend. read more

I was in NY with girlfriends celebrating one of their daughter's 18th bday so I thought this would be a nice experience for us! I have been on a bunch of food tours in other cities and Nice Guy Tours is bomb! Dante was so friendly and personable throughout the entire tour and knew so many little tidbits about where were touring. All of the food was delish and we could hardly finish things at the end.....but we managed!!!! Highly recommend this tour!!!! read more

Nice Guy Tours - BEST PIZZA ON THE PLANET!!! Bleeker Street Pizza!! - Food Tours Near Me - New York, New York

Adam was a great tour guide and kept us moving, laughing, and comfortable on our rainy day trek through our stops. The artichoke pizza was amazing (my favorite), the falafel was delicious, and the margherita pizza was great. Adam is very fun to banter with and has a thorough knowledge of the area. The cupcake store at the end was cute, would have preferred a canoli or Italian bakery but it was fine. I highly recommend this tour company and this tour, ask for Adam if possible! read more

I had the pleasure of taking Dante's walking food tour in the Village. What a great experience! He is so knowledgeable about the city, I really learned a lot. I am a huge music fan and he took us by a club where Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, and other greats played. The food we tasted was amazing! I tried the artichoke pizza and was pleasantly surprised. But that is all I will say about the tour because I don't want to ruin all the greatness that Dante offers! If you want to have great food, learn about the city and meet a great guy, take this tour!!! read more

Andy was great! Food was great! Neighborhood was one I might've skipped on my short trip to NYC but I'm so glad I explored it with a real New Yorker while eating real New York food. read more

This was my first time visiting so getting a curated list of spots to try was perfect. The food was plenty and tasteful. The tour is well crafted in what you eat and the walking rests you get in between. Even the last stop (although I'm not much of a cupcake person) was so good I had to go back for seconds a few days later! read more

Dante is a one man operation and he is GOOD at what he does. He had a great balance of food, walking, and tid bits of New York history that made the tour not only delicious, but educational. He's super friendly, made everyone feel comfortable quickly, and was very knowledgeable. We had samples at each of the establishments - 1/3 slice of artichoke pizza, 2 falafels, an order of fries to share, 1/4 everything bagel with cream cheese, 1/2 slice of margarita pizza, a rice ball, and a cupcake for dessert. I wasn't sickly full at the end, but satisfied. Loved going to new places I've never tried before and would go back to any of them! A highly recommended NYC experience!!! read more

I was looking for a fun tour to take my 17 year old non foodie, know everything son on. Thankfully we landed with Nice Guy Dante. His genuine smile, friendly personality and knowledge of the NY was fantastic. Not only did he share with us places we would have never found on our own, he also got my son to eat things he never would have tried on his own. Highly recommend and thoroughly enjoyed every bit of this walking, talking, tasting for 3 hours, and my son considered it a highlight. That says something for a non foodie on a food tour. Thanks Dante it was a pleasure to meet you, and so much fun. read more

This was a repeat for us. We did the tour 10 years ago and since we were spending the weekend in the city, we decided to do it again. We were so pleased to see Dante again. He's a great guide and has so much fun and interesting information to impart. The food was delicious, plenty of it. And the fact that it was pouring rain the entire time, we made the best of it. It was so well worth it, even the second time around. We plan to visit again and do the Lower East side tour - again !! : - ) read more

This was such a fun tour of Greenwich Village and Dante was a great host - fun, friendly and knowledgeable!! We really enjoyed walking and eating our way around the neighborhood like a local. The tour is at a very relaxing pace and the food variety and sample sizes were perfect! Dante does a great job of introducing you to the area by pointing out the important sites, some lesser known sites and providing interesting historical information. Highly recommend Nice Guy Tours! read more

So Dante is wonderful. This is his baby and my second tour with his company. This was the lower east side tour which was fun. Dumplings were delicious. Always a fun crowd because Dante brings out the warmth in a group of strangers. I really loved the Greenwich Village tour too. Mix of yummy food, history and kibitzing (Yiddish for joking) which is a must on any good food tour. read more

Dante was the greatest host and at the end of the tour you felt like you had made friends with him and everyone else on the tour. The food selection was just amazing and are not things that you would ever have found without the tour. We had great laughs and learned some perspective for the Lower East Side. We would love to take any other tour with him! read more

We had a great tour and really enjoyed everything. Dante was very friendly and welcoming and arranged the tour very well. The food was all delicious and it was great getting to have so many different types of food. It was also nice learning more about the Greenwich Village area. Highly recommend! read more

GREAT TOUR....Took my 3rd tour with Dante. Two years ago did the Lower East Side tour and than last year the Greenwich Village tour with girlfriends. I took my granddaugher who is heading off to college to the city for the day and we went to Tenement Museum followed by Dante's tour and although enjoyed the Museum, the tour was the highlight for her as we ate our way through the streets plus learned history of the area. She wants to do the Greenwich Village next summer when she comes home. For a fun day, schedule the Museum and Dante's tour as the meeting places for both are quite close and makes a fun day. Thank you Dante for sharing your stories with us. read more

One word: Amazing! I don't even know where to start! First of all, Dante was the most charismatic and knowledgeable tour guide and person! He took us to some of the most amazing and unique food places I've ever eaten at and I walked away with a FULL stomach. He was so accommodating to our group and even stopped at some of the places we wanted to go into (outside of the tour schedule) along the way! He didn't just give us a taste of the amazing food, but he helped us truly understand the history and immense beauty of Greenwich Village. It was so cool to see the relationships he had built with the owners/workers at the places we stopped. It gave me a little glimpse into the life of a true New Yorker. This was easily the best part of our four day getaway and I will most definitely be checking out his other tours (and even this one again!) during my future New York trips. read more

Dante is an awesome guide. Our group ranged in age from 25 to 85 and he made everyone a part of the tour. The food was fun and the history was cool and the banter between locations was amazing. Can't say enough good things. We did the lower east side tour and I can't wait for my next time in the City to do another with him. read more

This review is long overdue. I have been on 2 of Dantes food tours. I live in Poughkeepsie NY and when we get out of town guests, the 1st "To-Do" on the agenda is to take our guests on a Dante tour with Nice Guy Tours. You will not go wrong. We had a great time with lots of laughs, great food and along with Dante's humor and knowledge of the city, it made for a terrific experience that we will surely do again and again. read more
