Great experience as a local - My two daughters (6 and 10) and I had a fantastic time on the food tour. As locals, we visit Chelsea Market and High Line Park frequently, but we still learned so much about the history and architecture from our knowledgeable tour guide. It was an enriching experience for all of us! We would do different line next time. Highly recommend.

Fantastic Tour! - What a wonderful tour, I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again! My 13 year old and I had so much fun learning about neighborhoods we hadn’t previously spent time in and experiencing the delicious desserts along the way. Our guide, Lara, was very knowledgeable and really made sure we were having a great time. You would think the desserts would be the highlight, but Lara made the information so interesting that my daughter actually commented that learning the history was exciting!

Delicious desserts - Wanted to do another tour with Like A Local and my wife and I really enjoyed this dessert tour. We have done food tours but never one focused on dessert and it was delicious and fun. Friendly guide, great stops and learned a lot about the neighborhoods. Nice way to experience the village and Chelsea.

Perfect Girls’ Trip Experience! - Such an incredible tour! We enjoyed our NY girls’ trip to celebrate Christmas and birthdays, and this tour checked every box. Delicious destinations at every stop and we thoroughly enjoyed the history and information that was shared for the neighborhoods. Our teenage daughters loved every second, and us moms couldn’t be happier. Thank you Lora and Like A Local Tours!

Fun way to explore some neighborhoods and eat along the way - Fun way to see parts of the city and try some new foods. Appreciated the focus on supporting local and small businesses. Enjoyed the extra little pieces of NY history in the neighborhoods and the walk along the High Line. All of the desserts were pretty good--nothing so amazing that we would go out of our way to return to them.
