You'll see non-tourist neighborhoods in a relaxed manner while mingling with others from around the world in a larger group format. To experience a culture one must experience their cuisine and since New York is the world's melting pot its many cuisines is its shared culture. Food On Foot Tours takes visitors beyond the tourist attractions to the largest buffet in the world, New York. You´ll see the neighborhoods where New Yorkers live and eat. You´ll share our passion for all things New York and travel the way New Yorkers do, by subway and foot.TripAdvisor Award of Excellence Winner in 2011, 2012 & 2013. « less

Great tour! Guide was prompt and easy to find. Make sure to follow the instructions he gives on website so you can get for free using New York Pass. I got to try several new foods and liked them. You can pick and choose what you want or don't want, but I suggest going with his recommendations. Enjoy.

Face value of tour is $49 (according to NY pass). 35 people on the tour and there is no try before you buy? So if you then add cost of food plus gratuity (yes gratuity was also expected even though Cory said it was his business) this is a very over- rated tour. Great money making venture! Just go to...

This is one of the most unfair reviews we have ever received and it is very disingenuous. If you had read about the tour first and not skipped the big stop sign for pass holders asking them to READ EVERYTHING first you would have known food wasn't included and you would have known we are not a sampling tour. Instead... More

We understand that the food may not have been to your liking but nowhere does it say that either East Village Tour is 2 hours. We would appreciate it if you would send it to us so we can correct the information or we ask you to please issue a retraction. We also don't understand what you mean that you... More

My partner and I chose the "International Express" tour, which was the first tour of the year. All I can say is WOW!! We took the subway out to Flushing, Queens, where our tour guide claimed that "you can eat cheaper here than buying the ingredients and cooking it yourself". He was not wrong! Delectable Peking duck rolls for $1!!!!... More

My only complaint about the food on foot tour that we took was that we took it on our second day instead of our first! The tour guide, Cory, is thoroughly entertaining and the food places he takes you to visit are all amazing and not something you would probably find on your own. He also gives recommendations during the... More

We all know that lousy food can sometimes spoil a great trip and that good food can enhance that trip. It is a pleasure knowing that you ate great both on the tour and after. With us it's not only about the tour itself but about helping out for your entire trip. That's why we've just added our first ON... More

We booked this tour (mid town) and had a chance to explore different places to eat in NY. Love the sourdough chocolate twist, fried shrimp dumpling, New York cheese cake, the icecream from Philly, and many more. Highly recommend this tour to everyone. Thank you Cory! We will go back to next time for the East Village one. Howard, Stephanie,... More

We did the walking tour and it was fantastic. Great food enough to well and truly keep you going and it was interesting to see different parts of a local neighbourhood. Highly recommended!

Loved this tour! We had such a good time. I was traveling with my daughter, sister and two nieces and we all loved it. Great value and a great time. The food selection was excellent and Cory was wonderful.

Very neat way to see a different side of New York! The food was yummy. I have Celiacs and Cory was very accommodating in helping me find something to eat at each stop! He also was awesome in helping us figure out the subway system. I recommend taking the tour at the beginning of your trip if you can.

We came to NY from the UK having bought the City Pass cards online (really good value by the way), and booked this tour online before we left. The whole event was fab. We all had a great time and the information gained I hope will be invaluable as we are at the start of the week. Cory is such... More
