About
We believe in Food Tour Freedom. Whatever ticket type you choose you get to eat what you want and how much you want. We think that's much more fun! Very unique subway and/or walking experiences available as part of a guided public tour or guided private tour that is different from most standard guided food tours. We also offer self-guided On Your Own Experiences which are food walk-throughs of various New York neighborhoods and are designed to help save you money over eating in tourist restaurants. Our self-guided On Your Own Experiences can be used as a tour, a list or as a tour first to sample and you can return to your favorites for full meals. Each Experience also includes some low cost breakfast options near major tourist attractions. Our guided tours are true eating tours, not sampling tours and we also offer restaurant recommendations (as noted in many reviews) on our guided tours to help you eat well and save money for the rest of your trip. You'll see non-tourist neighborhoods in a relaxed manner and while on the guided tours you will be mingling with others from around the world in a larger group format that is much like a field trip. For those who do want to experience great restaurants and save money we offer our Customized Restaurant Concierge Service. This is a personal service available through by contacting us directly that helps you save and eat great based on your lodging location, attractions you are seeing, food preferences and budget. 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.

All I can say is I wish I could do this tour for the first time again. Our guide was a real down to earth person with a passion for food. This tour was a great activity for my family and I, but it is very important that you read the description so you know what you’re getting into, but if you know what to expect, it’s very enjoyable. The tour was very relaxed and social, but please know there is a lot of standing, so those who struggle to stand for 20+ min, beware. Walking was a prevalent part but not excessive, but it is a bit fast paced. Overall, I cannot recommend this activity enough

What a nice comment in your first sentence. So glad you feel that way about the tour. Thank you for pointing out that it is important to read about our tours first. We are not a typical standard food tour but as you mentioned we are a relaxed and social "see & eat NY tour." And as you said we are real. Thank you.

I take a yearly trip to New York with high school seniors from Kentucky. We were lucky enought to find Corey and the Food on Foot Tour the first year we started taking the trip, and we have done the tour every time since! Our students often say this is their favorite part of the trip. The food is amazing, the tour is very informative, and we have so much fun! I have come back to NYC on personal trips, and we always try to take one of the tours. Corey is fantastic, and I could not recommend this more!!

We are so glad you had a great time and loved meeting new people. Unfortunately, some people don't read about our tours first and don't realize that we are not a standard food tour. On our tours you not only choose what you like but meeting others can be a big part of the tour if you like.

After joining the tour in December with my family and after having done other food tours before in other cities I would definitely not recommend this one!

Not a good use of anybody’s time, the tour is way too crowded which means you end up spending so too much time waiting around for people to order and get their food. If instead of 30 people in a group was 15 would be much better.

Also Corey’s attitude towards the people in the tour wasn’t good enough for someone who is charging you for a tour, his tone is patronizing, wants everyone to mingle and thinks this is the main aim of the which realistically it isn’t! We are there for the food!! Not everyone likes to speak to strangers. He asks you to speak outloud in public which again not everyone’s cut of tea.

He is definitely not a people person, is rude, has stupid rules such as wanting the group to get extremely close together, again here he fails to understand after covid people doesn’t like this and if the group wasn’t doing it he will just shout more and more…

Food related… you pay for him to take you to few food stops to what he thinks is good however when asked for recommendations he will just say the first three things in the menu. There is no knowledge around the food he literally takes you to few places that are also international food, nothing local and nothing special… better recommendations in trip advisor that is for sure

Avoid!!!

Your review title should read NOT A STANDARD FOOD TOUR. It could not be more clear that you did not read about the tour. We cannot be compared to other food tours because we are not that. There is so much information about what we do both before and after you book to avoid situations like this. We are a meet & mingle tour. That is just one of the things that makes us different and after the introductions we never ask during the tour, who did you talk to? You can talk to no one if you want but for those that want the fun of talking to others from around the world you can. Waits for food? You bet there are. Everything is made fresh. it's not sitting there waiting for you and most guests think our stops are worth the wait and we talk about the stops too. And our tour is international because NY food is international. You might have forgot we are the melting pot of the world. We hope people reading this understand how different we are and you failed to mention our unbiased restaurant recommendations which have helped tens of thousands have a better NY trip. Right now you are the 85th terrible review we've received in thirteen years and review just before yours was our 3,065th excellent review we've received over the same period and you say we're rude. That just doesn't mesh. Sorry the tour was not for you.

Fab experience. Corey was knowledgeable and a true New Yorker taking us to some amazing places teaching us what to look out for and go for. The food was great! Good value too! And the other bonus is meeting other, international tourists, mingling and enjoying together. What a great day out! Highly recommend!...and yes, do come hungry!

Fantastic! We did the midtown winter tour today and it was great. The guide, and owner of the company, was so nice and very knowledgable. He knew where to go for every food type there is.

The food was delicious and all very reasonably priced. We made 5 stops in total.

A must for any foodie. Thank you Corey.

We had a wonderful time on the tour. Cory brought us to very delicous non-touristy places and gave us great tips for the rest of our trip.

Thank you for using that title. Our company does not do tours in tourist neighborhoods because we want you to eat and experience the real NY whether it's on the tour or after. So glad you had a wonderful time.
