On your tour you will hear the term “social impact”, but what does that really mean? For us, social impact is making sure that we have a positive impact on the communities we live and work in, as well as the amazing places we explore with our tours. We believe that truly experiencing a place “like a local” means having meaningful engagement that supports local, community-based organizations and learning about their causes and the people making them happen. Just as we carefully select the places you’ll visit and the food you’ll try, we have also carefully selected our social impact partners to showcase the amazing work being done in our communities.

Food, history - a well rounded tour

Delicoius! Loved this tour. So much food and learning. Recommend this way to visit these neighborhoods. Expereinced some newer spots and a lot of historic restaurants I had been reading about for years. Make sure you don't eat before, it's a lot of food.

Fun activity during winter with good food and a good guide

2nd tour with this company and this one was also a great tour. Fun activity during winter months. Visited some places we had never been before. All the food was very good and we had another entertaining tour guide.

LES food tour - excellent experience!

It was a very, very rainy day, but Seth made the tour fun and tasty! And he was skilled at finding scaffolding where our group could shake off the water and enjoy the delicious tastes. It was a great way to learn about new neighborhoods I had not experienced before. Essex Market was a highlight. Would highly recommend!
