It is hard to beat an experience that combines delicious foods with an immersive tour of the neighborhood and most importantly, an incredibly knowledgeable and personable guide. We have been on many Culinary Backstreets tours over the last few years, covering Europe and the Americas, and are rarely disappointed in the education we receive to go with the delightful guides and tasty treats. I have to specifically mention Esneider, our guide on the Queens Global Eats tour, as he exemplified everything we look for in a guide - an expert of the region and the ethnicities of the area, who is responsive and patient, who caters to everyone's wishes, and ensures we get to meet the local people that create such a rich culture.
