Lower East Side Walking Tour

  Excellent tour by a professional guide!  - Took my family on Eric's Mafia Tour of Little Italy. He was a great professional tour guide! Teenagers didn't have as much appreciation for the history so we... read more made a few concessions and tailored the tour to our needs as well as our interests. He also sent some follow on materials for us to check out.

Great sense of stories, how La Cosa Nostra actually formed, worked and operates vs the sensationalized media version and just a general sense of how the Lower East Side evolved ethnically, economically, and turned into what it is today.

So much has changed. You get to see the actual places where the social clubs, nightclubs and childhood homes were but have to now use a bit of imagination to put yourself back in those eras.

The Lower East Side has the most fascinating history of any real estate in America so take as much opportunity to learn about it as possible!

Thanks Eric!

  Make this a must do on your trip  - After lots of research, I booked this as a present for my partner as he is interested in the mafia.
As it is a private tour, my daughter,... read more her boyfriend and myself tagged along. Best decision we made. Even if you have little interest, Eric, the founder and guide was so knowledgeable he made you want to know more. He’s not reciting a script, his son is the 5th generation to live in the area and has many personal stories.
A surprise highlight of the trip and would highly recommend for anyone.
Thank you Eric.
