Perfect and educational group activity! - Very fun, educational, and thought provoking! Not to mention delicious as we loved every sandwich that we ate on the tour. A perfect and unique group activity to learn history and a great way to spend the day in the East Village. Highly recommended!

FIVE STARS - for Sandwiches AND Experience! - This tour was wonderful - I've been to NYC many times, and done many tours - and this one was awesome. We had two friends that have been NYC locals for 20 years on the tour with us, and they discovered places that they now plan to visit regularly! The food was delicious (priority #1) and I was STUFFED by the end. The tour guide (Ben) was fun and encouraged lively debate. Ben was also conscious that it was SO HOT and HUMID the day we took the tour and managed to find us shade and AC at every turn. We discovered places we never would have found on our own - and will definitely be going back to next time we're in NY! This tour is a real gem and I highly recommend it for any age! We had kids on our tour and they loved it as well.

10/10 - 10/10 would recommend this tour. Particularly liked the overall approach he takes by challenging us to think about what a sandwich actually is. In addition to tasting the various delicious sandwiches, we got to learn about the cultural and historical aspect of these sandwich shops. Ben is a friendly, personable and witty guy with an unwavering love and passion for sandwich. Can't wait to try out his online sandwich courses as well.

Best Food Tour I’ve Done - Of the half-dozen or so food tours I’ve done in big cities throughout the world this one was the best yet. Ben catered to our vegetarian needs without issue. The food was great throughout, and each stop along the way had a great story associated with it. Ben shared interesting stories about the restaurants and bars, the neighborhood (East Village) and broader city (and about his home Australia too). Good value and fantastic experience. I would recommend this to anyone who loves sandwiches and is interested in learning about the city.

Friendly guide and brilliant tastes - Amazing tour, delicious food, very friendly guide, historical twist. Loved it. The sandwiches feature different cultures and time periods of the city. Could be great to add even more options.

3 reasons why I had a blast - The tour was awesome! Here are 3 reasons why I had a blast: - Our tour guide did a great job at creating an experience that ticked all the boxes, including (importantly), great food, cool part of NYC, fun and inclusive atmosphere, informative, and a nice balance between eating/walking/laughing/and drinking (if you wanted to have an alcoholic beverage it was available). - The sandwiches were delicious and varied! whilst I was expecting them to be delicious, I was pleasantly surprised on the variety.. each sandwich was very different from the last and fit quite well into the narrative and history that we were exploring, which was a nice touch. - The amount of food was plenty. I'm a big guy and was a little worried that I wouldn't be full at the end of the tour. No need to worry about that... and no need to over eat at any stop because of that worry either...! If you were intrigued by any of the above, you're going to have a great experience.

Great way to see parts of NYC and eat at places you would not find on your own. - A really wonderful tour. Ben is knowledgeable, funny and really entertaining. We did the Brooklyn tour and were so impressed that we did the East Village tour a few days later. And the sandwiches were both delicious and varied.

Book this Tour! - My family and I booked this tour based on the many great reviews and we were not disappointed. Ben and Matt took us on a magical sandwich journey. We are locals but we hit little sandwich spots we never would have come across on our own. Ben and Matt were so funny and personable and entertaining and we had many laughs debating the definition of a sandwich. I expected this tour to be fun, but my expectations were definitely exceeded. If you want a really fun tour, with great food and even better storytelling, do yourself a favor and book this tour!

Book this tour and arrive HUNGRY! - Food, culture, history and humor…this tour has it all!! A truly enjoyable day spent doing one of our favorite things…eating!! A Man and His Sandwich is the king of the sandwich tour, not to mention the nicest guy! Five years ago we went on our first sandwich tour with Ben and had such a great time that I knew instantly what I wanted to do when my family asked how I wanted to spend Mother’s Day in New York! Once again, we enjoyed every minute tasting some of the best, most unique “sandwiches”, this time in Brooklyn, while trying to discern what truly IS a sandwich. To spend time with family, enjoying delicious food, while learning the history, culture and transformation of a neighborhood is time well spent and having the sandwich king himself curate such a tour, was perfection!! Thank you again, Ben! Until next time, Mate!

Well Worth the Calories! - Came to NYC with family for a few days and this was definitely one of our favorite activities! Ben was personable, funny and VERY knowledgable about not only sandwiches, but also NYC and its history. We stopped at three different places in the East Village and each had a different take on what makes a good sandwich. ALL were amazing. Drinks are not included in the tour price, but were readily available for purchase. Some of the sandwich shops were quite small, but we were able to eat our sandwiches at local watering holes with a bit more room, which also afforded us the opportunity to enjoy some adult beverages (not included in the price of the tour, but a nice complement to some tasty sammies nonetheless). The tour fit in nicely between our morning walking the High Line and checking out Little Island, Chelsea Market, Magnolia Bakery, Washington Square and The Strand bookstore, and our afternoon at the 9/11 memorial. One suggestion: plan a long walk after the sammies and beers - you'll feel less guilty about indulging! This is definitely an 5-star experience.
