Free walking tours in New York City

Thanks Oscar, great tour!

It’s worth going. A relax and pleasant stroll on a very nice park.

With so many food and walking tours in NYC, it can be hard to know which one is actually worth your time—this one absolutely is. The East Village Food & History Tour was hands-down one of the best experiences I had during my visit to New York. Our guide, John, was outstanding—engaging, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the neighborhood. He made the history come alive and added personal touches that made the tour feel curated, not canned. And the food? Incredible. We tasted our way through a global menu all within a few blocks: classic NYC pizza, Ukrainian varenyky and perogis, rich Greek-American soup, dolmas, EIGHT flavors of Korean dumplings, Italian pastries like cannoli and sfogliatelle, and a nostalgic egg cream to top it all off. Every stop was well-chosen, and we never felt rushed. What makes this tour special is the balance—it’s not just about eating (though you’ll definitely leave full!), but also about understanding the stories and cultures behind each bite. We explored everything from Dutch colonial roots to punk rock landmarks. It was a perfect blend of flavor and history. If you’re trying to pick just one neighborhood food tour in NYC, make it this one. It’s a true taste of the city’s diversity, served with heart.

Very interesting tour full of anecdotes. Carlos knows the area by heart and has allowed us to make the most of it, even when it started raining! I would recommend this tour

Me encanto el tour! William dejaba unos datos sobre la ciudad brutales! Buenas recomendaciones, detalles a tener en cuenta. Recomendadisimo ✨

Amazing tour. The guide was excellent

Excellent tour. Very informative, well paced, fun. Highly recommend it!

Absolutely amazing experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had the pleasure of doing a walking tour of Brooklyn Heights, Lower Manhattan, and DUMBO with Jon Noto, and it was nothing short of fantastic. Jon’s energy, knowledge, and storytelling made the entire experience come alive — it felt like exploring the city with a friend who just happens to know everything about it. His passion for New York is contagious, and he pointed out so many hidden gems we would have totally missed on our own. We had such a great time that we immediately booked another tour with him! Highly, highly recommended — Jon is a gem of a guide!

The tour with Diana was great! She shared her passion for NYC with us which made our trip so much more special. We visited many places which look like Paris, which we wouldn’t find on our own, but also iconic famous NYC sights. The tour was a good combination of interesting history, discovery of unique local spots, and some food tasting - thank you for showing us the yummiest croissants on our trip!

Francisco es muy divertido, se expresa bien en ingles y sabe información útil.

Muy buena. Wilson muy agradable

Hermoso tour con el mejor guía !

This was a tour for a group of university students. Scott kindly helped me, as the professor, tailor the trip to meet the group's needs in advance. During the trip, he carefully explained the historical context and provided clear information about specific places, capturing the attention of every student with his insights. We are all grateful for his effort to cooperate and for sharing his knowledge of this beautiful city.

This is a tour you can’t miss while you’re in New York. Jon is extremely knowledgeable about the places, history and insider tips that only locals would know. One of the best NYC tours!

Carlos súper atento, tanto antes del tour comunicándose con cada uno, como en tour con los consejos y el recorrido. Pensé que solo se trataba de comida pero no, nos llevamos hermosas fotos en lugares famosos

excelente 👌

Tarak nos dio un tour muy entretenido, con datos curiosos y buenas recomendaciones al final

This tour was a great blend of history food culture walking and a great taste of New York City. The people who go to the guru tours are also very diverse and courteous. I highly recommend this tour and guru.

High quality tour with lots of good information and told with heart and humanity. Can't recommend highly enough.

Totalmente recomendable. Luis es muy agradable y nos dió un buen paseo por la zona.

Excelente experiencia. El guía muy amable y nos dio muy buenas recomendaciones para seguir visitando la ciudad

Me ha sorprendido enormemente el tour, es algo que no te esperas pues todos tenemos en mente el clásico Manhattan y hay más vida después de Times Scuare o El puente de Brooklyn. En primer lugar el teleférico es una pasada, pero lo que viene después te deja impresionado, unas vistas de la ciudad únicas, sumado a un santuario de animales, un antiguo hospital abandonado ( con su parte misteriosa) entre medias nos ha ido dando todo tipo de consejos, recomendaciones, donde comer, donde NO ( importante también) por supuesto todo ello acompañado de datos históricos, culturales... Quién se va a imaginar que el rascacielos de l@s celebrities se mueve 😅😅, en definitiva me ha encantado. Muchas gracias por todo, sobretodo por hacerlo divertido y por supuesto que cuando vuelva a la ciudad haré más tours contigo

Muy agradable paseo por el high line, todo muy bien explicado por Alex, muchas gracias

Recomendable
