About Us

We have so many great stories and have met so many great people over the years here in New York but what stands out is the incredible amount of repeat guests we have. So many people from all over the world have taken our tours again and again, whether it’s a private or public Food On Foot Tour. We now have people who joined us 6, 7, 8 times and more. Often, they return with a new partner or family member and sometimes there’s years between visits. When we started, we were a New York food & local sports tour company, Today we are full-service food event and information friend for tourists, groups and New Yorkers. On the tour side most food tours are very much the same, Food On Foot and our tours are very unique and different. Food tours usually follow a very standard format with 12 to 16 people and a guide who brings you to a few restaurants and tells YOU what you’re going to eat. That’s right. You paid them and you have to eat what they give you. Most often the guide does not eat with you. We do. We love to eat with our guests because we treat them like family! On other tours if you don’t like something and try to get something different, that’s a no-no. We know that because we’ve tried it on tours in other cities and have not been accommodated. That’s why since our first day in 2009 we’ve been different. You can choose a ticket with food included or decide to pay as you go but on our Food On Foot Tours you choose what you like and how much! And that’s not all.  We’ve pioneered a meet & mingle concept on our tours. On our public tours you’ll be part of a sometimes small and sometimes larger group of travelers & locals. From the time we meet we’ll encourage you to make friends from around the world and so many of our guests do just that while others stay to themselves. Either way you can relax and enjoy the city the way you like. Looking for a public tour in a tourist area? Sorry we don’t do that. We want you to experience the real neighborhoods where New Yorkers live and eat and we travel by foot or foot and subway to do just that. And we care about your whole trip, not just the few hours with us. It’s why our unbiased restaurant recommendations on every tour help you eat great and save money, and are so popular and why so many of our guests write online or tell us directly, “we should have taken your tour first”. We could not have said it better which is why our slogan is our pledge to you. We want you to: Eat Like A New Yorker! Today we are full-service in New York offering private and small group guided tours, guided drink tours, self-guided food tours, group food hall tastings, guided sports tours, excursions, parties, events, a personalized curated restaurant recommendation service for visitors and restaurant meals for groups.  

At the end of one of our tours one of our guests told us this story and it really is a story that tells you what you need to know about us. He said that he had taken a tour the day before and was very disappointed that the guide seemed to be just going through the motions pointing out this and that.  He said as soon as we started, he knew our tour was different. He used the word passion. We have it! We love to do what we do which is making your New York experience so much better!
