While we welcome children on our tours, our tours are mainly for a mature audience in that we taste a variety of cuisine and dive deeply into history and culture. Sometimes we find that children of a young age may become easily disengaged. Although we are a family-friendly tour company, please take care in knowing if your child will enjoy the experience prior to booking. We find that children 13 years old and older enjoy our Tasty Global Bites Food Tour.

This tour is amazing. Liz, our guide, was very personable and knowledgeable. We had an array of delicious food from various ethnicities (and plenty to fill you up). We enjoyed learning the history of Nolita and walking around to see it. I also love this is a woman owned small business. I highly recommend the tour!

Our guide Liz was wonderful, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. We loved learning the history of Mulberry street and the surrounding area. The food and places we visited were wonderful and really diverse.

We took this tour in April 2019 with Liz as our guide and I can't imagine how our experience could have been better. The tour took us through the diverse restaurants that’s populate the Mulberry Street. Not only did we get to taste our way through them, but we also learned about the history of what made each neighborhood unique and we visited areas that I never would have dreamed of visiting without a local's perspective. We saw a part of NYC that I don't know if I ever would have experienced without this tour. Honestly, I wasn't looking forward to the tour - it was my husband's pick and I'm not an adventurous eater so I was more than a little worried about what we would try. I didn't need to worry whatsoever, Liz explained each dish and everything was great. It was fun, educational, and super filling - we will definitely be doing another tour in the future!
