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

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

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!
