Take a walking tour through Manhattan’s most storied neighborhoods with an informative guide. Perfect for first-time visitors and anyone who loves New York history, this fully-narrated excursion offers a fascinating overview of Little Italy and Chinatown. You have a chance to see the life of the various groups of immigrants who settled here and learn about the political and social influences they have had on the city. This tour details what motivated the Chinese, Irish, and Italians to immigrant to New York in the 1800's. In addition, it focuses on how the Chinese, Irish, and Italian exiles became the backbone of New York. The men would build New York's bridges and the tunnels. The women would be cooks and maids. And their children, raised in the values and language of their new country, would weave themselves into the tapestry of America. This is the story of America.

We had 2 prior tours through Viator and had an amazing experience. This was quite disappointing. The guide did not seem engaged, we thought we'd learn more about the food history of each area. We felt as though he did not want to be facilitating the tour. We would not recommend this particular tour to any family or friends.

I loved Little Italy and really wanted to stop in and nibble on some pizza but this was walking tour instead of a foodie tour. I was mistaken when I booked it. Robert was nice and very knowledgeable of the history of the area.

Next trip we will walk around on our own in these areas. It was awkward communication and just didn’t connect with us. He had some knowledge and reason it is a 2 rating.
