About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- neilc0819730 contributionsNYC - Mafia Tour Little Italy/China TownNYC Mafia Tour - Little Italy, China Town, 5 Points. This tour was mainly centred around Little Italy. The guide was very knowledgeable and enjoyable to listen to. The only down side that I would say about this tour, if you don’t know anything about the NY Mafia (or very little) would be worth brushing up a bit. There were plenty of names and situations that the guide mentioned that didn’t really mean anything to us. So something to be aware. This is not a complaint about the tour by the way.Written 5 March 2025
- InternationalRescue0 contributionsWalking Mob Tour in New YorkWe had a great time on this walking tour. Our guide was on time and very informative using the Pad to show us lots of photos that showed how things once looked like back in the day. He also was very knowledgeable when we asked any questions and gave great answers with good humor. Its just amazing how the areas have changed over the years but still have a great feel as a traveler from Europe and huge gangster fan.Written 12 February 2025
- pol26170 contributionsWow! If you're interested in the Mafia, this is a must-do tour!!!My husband's favourite film is the Godfather, so this was a treat for him. We booked this tour from the UK with Robin. The communication was quick and easy and Robin was able to tailor the tour to meet our specific needs. In preparation for the tour, we watched a number of Mafia documentaries and films, which helped us understand the family structure and become familiar with their most infamous characters, of which there's many! Robin contacted us a number of times before the tour, which was reassuring. And on the day of the tour, we were picked up from our hotel in a luxury vehicle and Jules, our guide, whisked us around the various sites. It was so interesting to see the other side of Manhattan and Queens which we wouldn't have seen on a traditional tour. And wow! What Jules doesn't know about the Mafia is not worth knowing! What a font of all knowledge - he should appear on Mastermind! Since getting home, we've been watching more Mafia documentaries and to be able to recognise some of the places on film is such a thrill for us! Thanks you so much to Robin, Jules and Kevin our driver - you really looked after us and we appreciate it. Hopefully see you again soon!Written 19 September 2024
- audreyh490 contributionsThorough and well informedJoel was extremely knowledgeable. His research was thorough and well presented. Using the ipad is helpful. He was attentive to how he assembled us a group using shaded areas and concern for safety. I would suggest that he is aware of how quickly he speak as sometime procesing all the information can be daunting.Written 16 September 2024
- troydL8442LC0 contributionsBEST TOUR EXPERIENCE EVER!This was by far the best tour we've ever done. The guide was incredible. He had so much knowledge about every aspect of the mob and was able to keep it interesting with true stories followed by taking us to the locations he was talking about. He was animated and had an answer for every question. This tour was a priceless experience and we would recommend it to anyone that is interested in learning more about the mob and movies associated with that time.Written 11 September 2024

- 212Cally0 contributionsAll things mobster!Stunning experience of all things mobster. Joel was superb with his style and fast paced delivery. Great insight on the history of the people and the area. We were even blessed with an appearance of a modern day local “character” towards the end of the tour. Magical experience, would highly recommend.Written 26 August 2024

- ronrI9906ER0 contributionsGreat Mob Tour with RayWhat a great and informative tour. Ray knew so much about the neighborhood and mob history. He was friendly and stopped to answer questions. The Little Italy backdrop added to the fun. Thanks, Ray. A+Written 28 July 2024
- jessicadD1135KL0 contributionsLots of info in a very comfortable ride!!!We just went took a tour and had Joel our tour guide and Alex our tour driver for the private 6 hour driving tour…it was worth every penny! Joel was so well informed and provided such great education to us from start to finish! There was never a dull moment. We started downtown from our hotel throughout downtown, Niers Bar in Queens (which was absolutely delicious by the way and service was great), and saw sooo much more in between and took lots of photos. I highly recommend this tour if you have a chance with your family and friends. So glad we did this for my husbands birthday and will definitely be contacting Robin again so we can request Joel for another tour!Written 22 June 2024

Joel was absolutely amazing! I came from LA with my mom and my cousin who lives in Manhattan and we had a blast. We learned so much about the gangster life in just the small vicinity of little Italy and it definitely made me want to come back as soon as possible and learn more! I would absolutely recommend the walking tour because you get a more personalized experience with your tour guide and If you have the funds absolutely do the private tour as well. It was such a personal and fun experience! We definitely want to do the staten Island one ASAP!

If you're looking for an unforgettable experience in New York City, the NYC Gangster and Mob Tour of Little Italy, Chinatown and Five Points is an absolute must! From start to finish, Dennis captivates his audience with fascinating stories and insider knowledge about the city's notorious mob history. His passion for the subject shines through as he shares intriguing known facts that you can't find on the internet. The tour takes you to iconic locations starting at John's Restaurant (best spaghetti) and Dennis knows just the right spots to make you feel like you've stepped back in time. Whether you're a true crime buff or just curious about the city's colorful past, tour is engaging, entertaining, and informative. Highly recommend!

Joel is extremely knowledgeable and his delivery of history and facts is spell binding. I was super impressed with the dates he provided and the depth of detail. The only issue was that it was extremely cold. My sister and I had to stop by 1 and missed China Town. Next time!
