In two hours, we cover a lot of ground in three of New York City’s most intriguing neighborhoods. We’ll begin in SoHo, appreciating the architecture of the Cast Iron Historic District and maybe seeing some of the city’s well-known celebrities.
Following that, your guide will whisk you away to Italy — specifically, Little Italy — where you’ll take in the sights and scents of this vibrant NYC neighborhood. However, it’s not all pizza and stromboli here. You’ll also explore previous mafia locations and learn all there is to know about John Gotti, the famed gangster.
Finally, take a trip into Chinatown, which is across the street but offers an entirely different cultural experience. As you learn about this immigrant town, be astonished by the diversity of Chinese stores and signage on exhibit. Our journey concludes at the old Five Points, now Columbus Park, formerly known as one of the city’s most hazardous places in the nineteenth century.
There are stops for tastings along the route, making this a savory multicultural tour of NYC.
It’s just a few miles of walking as your guide leads you through Manhattan’s streets to see the finest of Chinatown, Little Italy, and SoHo. Furthermore, the noon start time allows you to maximize your touring time in the morning and afternoon.

FAQs
There are 2-3 kilometers of moderately paced walking. If mobility is an issue, you can also book a private tour.
You will have sufficient time to get from one tour to the next. At 11:30 a.m., the High Line tour comes to an end. Take the C or E subway two stops to Spring Street, where the SoHo, Little Italy, and Chinatown Walking Tour starts. Please feel free to seek extra assistance from your guide.
During the trip, there may be short stops to buy various ethnic delicacies. We don’t have time to sit down and have a meal since we have so much to accomplish! Although there is no time set up for shopping, your guide may lead you to any retail places of interest once the tour has concluded, and you will have plenty of opportunities to window shop as you wander through the various districts.
We are aware that plans might change. You may easily change your tour up to 24 hours before departure. We provide a 100% refund up to 24 hours before the start of your tour. Within 24 hours of your tour, we would have incurred hard costs and therefore cannot allow rescheduling or cancellation without costs.
Prepare to arrive 15 minutes early. The trip begins immediately, and if you come late, you may not be able to catch up.
Our tours go on rain or shine, so please check the weather forecast before you go. If we have to cancel due to severe weather conditions, we will give you the option to reschedule or get a full refund.
Tips are always appreciated but never expected. They’re a great way to tell your guide they did an awesome job and show your appreciation.
