Earl was a fastic guide. Wandering the streets of little Italy and Chinatown, his tour was full of local history and amazing food. Food, that we simply, would never have found on our own. With his great knowledge and tips for the rest of our stay in New York City, I simply can't recommend Earl, and his tour enough.Tastes of NYC

Ben has a great relaxed manner that immediately put us all at ease. I loved that the tour involved much discussion about the nature of a sandwich so the tour was both fulfilling intellectually as well as physically. The sandwiches, or relatives of sanwiches, were all very tasty and well chosen and I love being introduced to small independent places. Next time I'm in NYC I will be going on one of Ben's other tours. Intellectually and Physcially Fulfilling

Laura, was friendly and very knowledgeable. Understanding the history of New York and how the financial industry developed was fascinating. I've been to the 911 site many times and was delighted to discover new pieces of it. Was over all a great tour. The only down points (of course beyond her control) were noisy construction and blocked views. Laura was terrific!

Ben was een geweldige enthousiaste host met hele goede verhalen en kennis van de geschiedenis van de plekken waar we kwamen. en verdiend extra punten omdat die bij 2 stops een stukje doorloopt en zorgt dat we het in een bar kunnen opeten. dus een biertje erbij kunnen bestellen wat altijd top is. zou deze tour aan iedereen aanbevolen locals en toeristen. Geweldige Tour. Geweldige Gids.

Ben was wonderful. He had a great energy and was fun to be around. The food was all delicious, and I appreciate that he filled us up without making us feel over-stuffed. He introduced us to places that we would have otherwise walked right by. Now we know some of the secrets of Times Square. He has a great personality and we would love to take more tours with him. Great Tour. Great Food. Great Energy

This is the third time we’ve booked a tour with Ben as a fun team activity after a long week of in person working sessions. We’ve started joking that if we don’t meet in NYC for our next team gathering, we’ll need to fly him to our next destination because his tour is just that good. We had 15 people in total this time with a handful of dietary restrictions and Ben makes it work magically every time. No one leaves hungry, we all leave fully satisfied having eaten excellent sandos, learning a bit about the neighborhood we’re in and stopping off at establishments we likely never would have come across had it none been for Ben’s thoughtfully curated and perfect tour! Perfect Team Activity in NYC

My daughter and I had a wonderful time exploring Chinatown and Little Italy with this very personable and knowledgeable guide. Earl was perfect - he gave us much insight into the history of the areas we visited and engaged in discussion about so many things. There was not one dull moment! I would highly recommend having Earl show you around - even though I have lived in the City previously I learned so much! Thank you Earl! A wonderful day exploring NYC with Earl!

Il tour di Dyker Heights con Laura è stato fantastico! Lei è gentilissima, ti spiega moltissime cose anche sugli altri quartieri di New York che si attraversano per arrivare a Dyker Heights. È stata sempre disponibilissima per farci le foto, darci consigli e chiarire ogni nostro dubbio. Esperienza consigliatissima, non si può venire a natale a New York e non fare questo tour!Una garanzia!!

Laura is amazing! Her extensive knowledge allowed her to share many interesting facts about everything we saw. Herfriendly, relaxed, manner made the experience a pleasure. She offered flexible options for the our four hour itinerary which allowed me to follow my interests as they arose. I appreciated her sitting with me before we started to discuss our plan for the time. I will definitely book with Laura again and am thankful that Tours by Locals reached out to her when a last minute change of guide was required.Laura Is Amazing!

This NYC sandwich tour was awesome! Our hosts Ben and Stef did a phenomenal job and were super fun people to spend an afternoon and drink a beer with. This was part of a surprise for my husband's birthday trip to NYC and he said it is his favourite tour - food or otherwise - that we've ever done. The storytelling was 10/10 and it felt super personal - you could feel the pure love of sandwiches (and connecting with others) that went into developing this tour. The portion sizes were enormous - wear stretchy pants. The sandwiches were tasty and unique (truly like nothing you've seen before) but what makes this tour what it is were the hosts, Ben and StefThi NYC Sandwich Tour was awesome!

Absolutely riveting tour with Earl there is nothing like a passionate tour guide who wants to share the stories and knowledge he has of this incredible time in New York (and for me , Irish/NY) history . I’ve read the books and seen the movies but to actually walk in the footsteps and touch the walls is something I just had to do and really can’t explain what it meant to me . Book a tour and you’ll know how I’m feeling since this incredible experience that I can’t wait to share again with visitors who arrive in October .Riveting Tour

I had an amazing time on the Lower Manhattan walking tour with 40 Thieves Tours! I had no idea how much Irish history was woven into this part of the city, and it was absolutely fascinating to hear the stories of the people who shaped New York. Earl The guide made the experience feel like stepping back in time, with detailed insights and captivating storytelling. I highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting a deeper look into NYC’s past!Amazing time
