Response from Virgin Experience Gifts
Hello Craig, I am very happy to hear that you had such a great tour guide. I imagine it made the experience all that more special with getting to learn new things while trying tasty foods. I hope your day was full of flavor and fun. Regards, Briana
My daughter and I went on a previous food tour in the West Village with a different guide. We enjoyed the Lower East Side Food Tour far more, which we attribute to Frank. He was personable, upbeat, efficient, enthusiastic and informative. A wonderful time.
