Dante made the tour exciting and fun. It felt like a new adventure even though I live outside of the city. Highly recommend ?

The first time we did a food tour with Dante, I knew that it would be the first of many. His knowledge of the areas that he covers and the city in general is unparalleled. He finds a way to engage everyone on his tours and incorporates storytelling in a way that is both fun and informative. He is an authentic New Yorker, but a lover of people as well. I’m proud to now know Dante as a friend all these years later. I cannot recommend a day with Dante enough. Do yourself a favor and book a tour. You won’t regret it!

Just seeing Dante's name makes my mouth water for all of the delicacies we have enjoyed on both of his tours. If you are headed to NYC, one of his tours should be on your "must see" list. He is knowledgeable, funny and, of course, there's always the foods. One word of advice....do not eat before you go. You'll have plenty of food to fill your stomach and knowledge to fill your head. I can't wait to go again!

Whenever we visit New York, a tour with niceguytours is our only "can't miss" event. This was our 3rd time with Dante, and there is simply no one better in the business. The tour, the food, and the fellowship are all top notch. We've done Greenwich Village twice (it will always be worth repeating), but the original "nice guy" has been busy building some new tours and I already can't wait for our next visit. Keep up the fantastic work Dante!

Dante is all you can ever dream of in a guide. I recently took The Astoria tour and was able to sample food from all over the globe. Dante made sure our day was fun, informative and entertaining . The eats in the neighborhood were delicious, perfectly portioned and varied. We tried meats, bread and sweets, the day provided a real adventure for the taste buds. I highly recommend Nice Guy Tours . I had previously taken both The Greenwich Village and Lower East side food tours. If you are thinking about doing a tour be confident of having a great day with Dante.

We have been on several food tours with Dante. Absolutely the best. I can clsay that as we have been on other food tours and none compares to Dante. His knowledge of NYC is is immense. His personality is highly entertaining and to top it off, great food from off the beat NYC tourist traps. We live in Upstate New York and whenever we have out-of-town guests, Nice Guy Tours and Dante is our go to day trip.
