Amazing tour, delicious food, very friendly guide, historical twist. Loved it. The sandwiches feature different cultures and time periods of the city. Could be great to add even more options.

The tour was awesome! Here are 3 reasons why I had a blast: - Our tour guide did a great job at creating an experience that ticked all the boxes, including (importantly), great food, cool part of NYC, fun and inclusive atmosphere, informative, and a nice balance between eating/walking/laughing/and drinking (if you wanted to have an alcoholic beverage it was available). - The sandwiches were delicious and varied! whilst I was expecting them to be delicious, I was pleasantly surprised on the variety.. each sandwich was very different from the last and fit quite well into the narrative and history that we were exploring, which was a nice touch. - The amount of food was plenty. I'm a big guy and was a little worried that I wouldn't be full at the end of the tour. No need to worry about that... and no need to over eat at any stop because of that worry either...! If you were intrigued by any of the above, you're going to have a great experience.

A really wonderful tour. Ben is knowledgeable, funny and really entertaining. We did the Brooklyn tour and were so impressed that we did the East Village tour a few days later. And the sandwiches were both delicious and varied.

My family and I booked this tour based on the many great reviews and we were not disappointed. Ben and Matt took us on a magical sandwich journey. We are locals but we hit little sandwich spots we never would have come across on our own. Ben and Matt were so funny and personable and entertaining and we had many laughs debating the definition of a sandwich. I expected this tour to be fun, but my expectations were definitely exceeded. If you want a really fun tour, with great food and even better storytelling, do yourself a favor and book this tour!

Food, culture, history and humor…this tour has it all!! A truly enjoyable day spent doing one of our favorite things…eating!! A Man and His Sandwich is the king of the sandwich tour, not to mention the nicest guy! Five years ago we went on our first sandwich tour with Ben and had such a great time that I knew instantly what I wanted to do when my family asked how I wanted to spend Mother’s Day in New York! Once again, we enjoyed every minute tasting some of the best, most unique “sandwiches”, this time in Brooklyn, while trying to discern what truly IS a sandwich. To spend time with family, enjoying delicious food, while learning the history, culture and transformation of a neighborhood is time well spent and having the sandwich king himself curate such a tour, was perfection!! Thank you again, Ben! Until next time, Mate!

Came to NYC with family for a few days and this was definitely one of our favorite activities! Ben was personable, funny and VERY knowledgable about not only sandwiches, but also NYC and its history. We stopped at three different places in the East Village and each had a different take on what makes a good sandwich. ALL were amazing. Drinks are not included in the tour price, but were readily available for purchase. Some of the sandwich shops were quite small, but we were able to eat our sandwiches at local watering holes with a bit more room, which also afforded us the opportunity to enjoy some adult beverages (not included in the price of the tour, but a nice complement to some tasty sammies nonetheless). The tour fit in nicely between our morning walking the High Line and checking out Little Island, Chelsea Market, Magnolia Bakery, Washington Square and The Strand bookstore, and our afternoon at the 9/11 memorial. One suggestion: plan a long walk after the sammies and beers - you'll feel less guilty about indulging! This is definitely an 5-star experience.

We went an amazing tour with Ben and Matt today. After a long week of sightseeing, it was a breath of fresh air to have an experienced and light-hearted guide take us around the East Village - testing sandwiches, having a laugh and meeting new people. Ben was a fountain of knowledge about sandwiches and New York! We all felt relaxed and my kids (12 and 15) had so much fun sampling the sandwiches. I would recommend this tour to any families, couples and singles... it catered for all and everyone was included in the discussions and debates! It was a really great part of our trip! We all left full and smiling.

I highly recommend coming on this tour! Ben is a GREAT guide. He selects locations that we wouldn't normally find ourselves. He knows the stories of the foods that we eat. He encouraged great interaction during the tour and... well... the food is really good. It truly is a lot of fun. I'd do this tour again in a heartbeat!

This tour is so good, I have done it twice! Ben is a fun and personable host, and made sure everyone had a great time. We toured around the East Village, learning about the history of the area while we ate extremely delicious sandwiches and debated the age-old question 'what IS a sandwich'. I have done this tour solo, and with family. It was great both times! Highly recommend.

Disappointing, more a tour suited for tourists who wanted to walk a small part of the city and the food was minimal (splitting small portions) and chain (Black Seed) or well known (burger) joints. In a city of limitless sandwiches, there weren't any "traditional" sandwiches or hidden gems to be found.
