What a great experience!! It was an excellent way to taste some tasty foods, and learn a bit of history about Chinatown and Little Italy. Daria was an absolute pleasure. She was knowledgeable, and friendly. She made sure to ask and note any food aversions or allergies.

Our tour guide, Rebecca, was great and introduced us to some great food (my favorite were the pan-fried dumplings 🤤). Would definitely recommend if you want to try a variety of foods and learn a little bit of history along the way.
