Had a great experience! Super engaging and loved learning more about the history of Chinese Americans in NY and the resilience of the Chinatown community.

— Yvonne

Really informative even for NYC residents & frequent visitors to Chinatown. I learned a ton of new things and will look at buildings and the area with new eyes moving forward.

— Denise

Really informative tour through Chinatown with Chloe - we particularly loved learning all about the resilience of the residents during the pandemic and about the community organising and activism taking place there today!

— Jen

Such a great experience. Chloe is super knowledgeable and a very nice person. I learnt a lot! Highly recommend!

— Annina

Enjoyed our tour with Chloe. She was very passionate and informative. Interesting to learn the history of Chinatown in New York.

— Cynthia

It is a great history of Chinatowns across the USA as well as New York. MSG points out so many interesting details about the people and streetscape. They also note cool shops and restaurants to try. There are so many and it is good to see this area thriving. Highly recommended.

— Anna

I really enjoyed Chloe's tour, which had a real personal feel to it, and I especially appreciated her call-outs to people from the community who have fought to keep it strong and vibrant. I'm a life-long New Yorker and tutored in Chinatown, but still learned many things I didn't know. Highly recommended!

— Peter

Catherine was so knowledgeable! She made Chinatown feel personal to us, and helped us appreciate the history of the city. We all really enjoyed the tour!

— Maisy

Particularly enjoyed the overview of how current young generations are impacting the development of China Town for the community!

— Kavita & Thilo

Chloe was a fantastic guide, and walked through the history of the Chinese American diaspora and it’s struggles throughout the years. I really enjoyed how personal the experience was as she outlined the history of the neighborhood, and related her personal experiences (going to piano lessons as a kid, and getting dumplings in a certain place in Chinatown) throughout the tour. I highly recommend having her as a guide if you’re ever interested in visiting Chinatown.

— Camille

The Mott Street Girls are fantastic! Super attentive and knowledgable, with clear connections and commitment to the Chinatown community. Highly recommend!

— Samuel

Really interesting and touching view of the development of Chinatown. As a local I won’t see Chinatown the same again and for the better!

— Cindy

Wonderful tour and excellent hosts. Chloe was so funny and told such interesting stories. She made the tour very fascinating and personable and gave everyone lots of attention to our needs. The stories of the Chinese American experience are underrepresented and need to be told. The murals were interesting to analyze and discuss.

— Jason

This is an amazing tour, very informative and interesting. Got to know a lots of fascinating stories and the history of Chinese immigrants’ lives in America. Highly recommended.

— Wancan

Learned so much about the history of Chinatown.

— Barbara

Chinatown is one of those places that you think you know already because you have visited, seen in some movies before or heard stories about but this tour really takes you to another level. Chloe not only explained to us with great passion the history of the neighborhood and of the Chinese migration to NYC and the US, but she explained also to us the challenges of the present times and the impact of the covid 19 pandemic together with the number of bottom-up initiatives of renovation the community is going through. She showed us shops and experiences of young people that decided to come back to their community of origin, fighting prejudices and stereotypes and helping to change the narrative with their living experience. Absolutely recommended!

— Viviana

I really enjoyed this tour! As a NYC local, I learned something new about Chinatown and it was really exciting looking at historical monuments and remnants of history. I would definitely recommend this tour to friends and everyone visiting Chinatown!

— Nelly

Chloe gave us a greatly informative tour also enriched by her personal experience of life in China town. I would very much recommend this experience!

— Elena

Absolutely worth it! Really thorough history and info on interesting businesses to check out.

— Erin

This was a wonderful, educational experience! From start to finish, the storytelling and history that was shared was really well done. I had no clue about the history of Chinatown in NYC nor the history of Chinese immigrants in America and how they contributed to building this country up. Highly recommend this tour to everyone who visits NY.

— Niko

We loved the tour- we live in the neighborhood and these opened our eyes to a whole bunch of culture and history right under are noses. Chloe was terrific.

— Lara

This tour was great - we learned so much about Chinatown, the history of Chinatown, and some of the interesting locations in Chinatown. Would highly recommend this tour to folks wanting to learn the story behind the area, and about the struggles of Chinese people during the exclusion act.

— Chander

Soooo knowledgeable. I'm from San Francisco and even learned so much about the connections between our Chinatowns and Asian America in general. I felt that every single detail could be connected and explained, including murals and current issues and life. Appreciated the small touches, including how many Chinatown residents now celebrate Qing Ming / Cheng Beng. Would so recommend to those visiting NYC, or anyone interested in our Asian American history.

— Sebastian

Great, informational tour of Manhattan CT. Lots of trusted recommendations and the tour guides have actually interviewed/interacted with the local shop owners.

— Ashley

Chloe was a wonderful tour guide! Our whole family (kids ages 9-15) loved the tour, which included lots of NYC Chinatown history, but also a sampling of current spots which represent the neighborhood’s rejuvenation and resilience after the pandemic.

— Sarah

What an adorable walk with Chloe! I would never learnt the stories behind the scenes if I did not attend this tour. Chloe introduced tons of information of Chinatown blended with her own experience and attitudes, which inspire everyone to consider what we could contribute to our communities. Definitely a highlight in New York City!

— Zhuoran

Definitely a tour to do. Learning the history of Chinese ancestors and the struggles they went thru in the USA. Made me really appreciate all they went thru to give us a better life. Also, appreciate the Mott street girls being the voices to share the history to those who don’t know. Thank you.

— James

This was a very interesting tour. A view of Chinatown that you don't get just walking around on your own. And a piece of our history that is not covered in school.

— Denise

Chloe is a great guide. She is fun and provides a great narrative of the history of Chinatown.

— Iain

It was such a informative tour! And well illustrated with the pictures. Chloe was very welcoming.

— Yue

Outstanding tour!

— Kevin And Francisca

Mott Street Girls NYC Chinatown Tour was historically rich and thoughtfully narrated by Chloe. I learned so much about my Chinese heritage within the context of NYC and the US at large. Chloe not only considered race and heritage but also gender and labor issues. Chloe’s personality is warm and insightful. I highly suggest this tour for a rare intersectional take on Asian American history and struggles! 🧧🥰

— Shannon

We had a very nice afternoon strolling through Chinatown with Chloe and Liz (the Mott Street Girls). The places they took us were very unique and they were very nice to us explaining a lot about the Asian community in NYC, the different types of food, stories about the past and the present…all very entertaining. They really know the area and they share a lot of information with their guests. The food is really good too! Suggestion: go there hungry! There is a lot of food involved! 😃 Would recommend this experience to visitors but also to those Newyorkers who, maybe , don’t know Chinatown that well. Great job, ladies!

— Claudia

Do you want that intimate feeling with someone who loves their New York Chinese culture and wants to share it? Do you want to support young women who are active in the Chinatown community? This is the tour for you! Mott Street Girls informed us of the impact of the Chinese Exclusion Act the still reverberates now and the resilience of the people who inhabit, work and thrive in this community.

— Christi

Loved my tour of Chinatown by Mott Street Girls' Anna...I will always think of her as a great tour guide.

— Carl

Anna's tour and information were so thoughtful and thorough. We had a ball and learned about the culture and history of Manhattan's Chinatown. What a great way to spend a Saturday morning.

— Julie

Really enjoyed learning both the historical and current information (the story behind the new art pieces) about Chinatown and would definitely recommend.

— Cora

We all learned so much. Loved how Chloe incorporated the history with today’s Chinatown!

— Jeanne

Important history worthy of a tour. Really elevated my awareness of this communities contribution to our American experience

— Eileen

This tour was fun, educational and super interesting. Chloe is extremely gifted as a tour guide. We have always loved Chinatown but had no idea frankly of the struggles and discrimination the Chinese have lived with in the US. Against huge odds, people of Chinatown have brought great value to America and should be celebrated for more than good food. Such an enlightening and enjoyable day💕.

— Tracy

Excellent tour with lots of background I really enjoyed the tour!

— Thorsten

We had a great time and learned a lot. Chloe was excellent.

— Brian

Great narrative about Chinatown for anyone interested in the area!

— Justin

It was clear immediately that Chloe and The Mott Street Girls care deeply about this community. They are not only skilled educators but super friendly and passionate about showcasing the rich culture and history of the neighborhood. We are very local and yet had no idea how little we really knew. It also felt great to support a group dedicated to collecting and preserving the stories of the people of this amazing place. The experience and the food are some of the best NYC have to offer. Don't hesitate you won't regret it.

— John

I have been to Chinatown in New York previously but could not remember much as it was years ago. When I came across the MSG listing and the good reviews I thought it would be good to see Chinatown again from a different perspective. You can tell that Chloe is very prepared with her facts and photos on an iPad. Her stories kept the group very engaged. She knows the area very well and is helpful with recommendations on food! Having been on the tour I feel I get to know Chinatown much better in terms of history, culture, and even current issues! Highly recommend this tour if you would like to see Chinatown from a different perspective!

— Tracy

Wonderful tour! Would definitely recommend it if you're interested in learning more about Chinatown's history! Super well presented - especially with all the visuals from the iPad to help give you more context/keep things interesting.

— Liam

Great morning. We ended up going to dim sum with other tour guests after the tour.

— Alli

Chloe did a great job of weaving together past immigration policy with present-day politics. I especially appreciated her take on current issues impacting Chinatown - gentrification, the jail, and COVID impacts. Thank you, Chloe!

— Kelly

What a way to end our long weekend in NYC. Informative and personable. We ended up making new friends and having Dim Sum after the tour. I highly recommend the Mott Street Girls.

— Trina

Very wonderful experience. I do feel I have a deeper understanding of Chinatown's culture and history after Chloe's introduction and explanation. I am really impressed by the fact that first-generation Chinese immigrants overcame a lot of difficulties and finally lived in the U.S. It is the spirit of Chinese culture that makes Chinese people able to live in every part of the world.

— Zelan

Such a great option for a weekend activity in Manhattan. An affordable tour with really cool and important information about the history of Chinatown! I definitely feel like I have a general understanding of the area now. Can’t wait to come back to some of these great spots!

— Justin

This is a fantastic tour that covers a lot of history as well as insights into the current state of Chinatown. I like the history and the tie-in with the young people today who feel it is incumbent upon them to carry on the cultural legacy.

— Alicia

Don’t miss a Mott Street Girls Chinatown tour when you’re in NYC. We learned so much about the history and enjoyed getting familiar with the area and businesses.

— Michelle & Brian

An informative tour with lots of history and loved meeting others interested in the same topic. Our experience was unique and I loved learning about all the cool stories of my favorite spots in Chinatown

— Stephanie

Our guide Chloe was excellent. Her explanation of Chinatown‘s history was enlightening and gave me a better understanding of the culture and community. I have always loved the food and now I appreciate the people. I highly recommend this tour.

— Nancy

This tour was humbling and fascinating all at once. I learned so much about Chinatown’s history and Chinese Americans’ challenging journey. Despite the oppressive Chinese Exclusion Act, this incredible community continues to thrive. Chloe was a great host; she provided us with photos and so many stories. I highly recommend this tour to everyone. After all, this IS American history.

— Wendy

Great tour Chloe did a fabulous job!

— Jan

Took many walking tours throughout the city this last trip. While they were all terrific, Chloe's tour was one of the highlights of my entire trip. Historically it is important to learn more about what is seldom covered in the classroom. The Chinese immigration experience, the Chinese Exclusion Act, the history of Manhattan's Chinatown in pre and post-pandemic times, the story behind the recent art murals on buildings, the shops, and restaurants that have been owned by the same families for generations. Chloe does a wonderful job of weaving family stories, history, laws, trivia, photographs--all while walking and stopping at significant sites, statues, buildings, or to show photographs on her iPad. You do not have to be Chinese to appreciate this tour. It is for anyone who is interested in history, culture. After Chloe's tour, we visited the Tenement Museum within walking distance. I highly recommend doing both. Thank you, Chloe, this passion project of yours is truly a gem. And thank you so much for being available to accommodate our family. A+++

— Marcia

Wonderful Tour that we all enjoyed. Informative and flowed well. We left a little more learned and filled with the empathy of the sacrifices of so many. Highly recommend.

— Dominic

Informative, thoughtful, and fun. I learned a lot about the history of Chinatown and some of the cool initiatives that are happening now during covid to keep the community thriving. I would 10/10 recommend this to everyone I know.

— Will

Chloe was a wonderful host in taking us around locations in Chinatown. Despite me growing up and walking around Chinatown in the past as a student, I have a deeper appreciation for the culture of some locations and about how the younger generation is bringing Chinatown to a "modern" state. I definitely learned more about the culture and history of Chinese in the US and am excited to help support more AAPI efforts too!

— Eric

Don't miss the chance to learn from these fascinating folks! Great connection of how some of the terrible prejudice of the 1890s is really not so different than today's reality.

— Kristen

This tour was awesome. Learned so much and Chloe made it so fun and personable. I will def be taking other tours.

— Lisa

Chloe is incredibly knowledgeable!

— Stanley

Absolutely awesome tour. Magical, informative, and thought-provoking. Loved it!! Thanks, Chloe!

— Amy

100/10! ⭐️ Chloe was not only knowledgeable and well-prepared for our tour, but also super friendly and accommodating. I can’t recommend this tour enough. I learned so much and had a ton of fun.

— Heather

Wonderful experience with The Mott Street girls - learned a lot about Chinatown and the Chinese exclusion. Made friends in the group! Great New York experience.

— Launa

Phenomenal experience of walking around old Chinatown, feeling those streets, that vibe, all the history. Chloe was incredibly well prepared, with visuals, good pace, and a very well curated walk through the history of the local area, but also New York, the USA, the world, and how it is all connected. Top-notch storytelling! Being in New York for the first time, I can't recommend this enough for an awesome outing for anyone visiting the Big Apple.

— Oleksandr

I’m so glad I went on this tour. Chloe was such a great guide and this was a fun way to support Chinatown while learning about the history and continued efforts to preserve it. Highly recommended for people from NYC, too. You may think you know, but there are always new gems to discover!

— Jessica

Chloe was above and beyond! She was an informative, gracious, excellent tour guide who engaged every person in our group! Definitely not cookie-cutter, I highly recommend her. I learned so much and am grateful. Thanks, Chloe 🙏🏻

— Jane

Very wonderful tour of Chinatown with lots of history and ties to present day. We enjoyed learning more about the community.

— Maja

Tour was amazing! Chloe went into a great deal of detail about both the history of Chinatown and Chinese Americans as a people. Incredibly eye-opening stories about the lives of the earliest Chinese immigrants.

— Dan

I had the most enjoyable and educational time on this experience! Chloe was friendly and very informative. She showed us the historical and cool places in Chinatown, New York, from the oldest working restaurant to the harsh conditions that Chinese immigrants experienced from the late 19th century to the 20th century. While on tour, she used her iPad and PowerPoint to show old-age photos of people living in Chinatown. And at the end of the experience, she provided us with printouts of restaurants and other places to visit. Overall, it was a wonderful and educational experience! ^^

— Susanna

Chloe gave great insight to the current state of Chinese Americans in the US and how this tied into the past. Excellent Tour! Highly recommend.

Chloe was a great host. She kept us engaged and was well informed, answering all questions we had. She took us on a journey through Chinatown and also through history. In the end, she gave us a list of great places to eat. I would definitely recommend this tour!

Educational and interesting-- even in the rain! Chloe knows her stuff. She seamlessly blends history with contemporary and sprinkles in restaurant recommendations and personal anecdotes into her tour. A must-do in NYC!

Such a great way to get to experience Chinatown in NYC. The MSG have such a deep knowledge of the history of Chinatown and we were able to learn so much and understand Chinatown in a way you can't just go there and walk around on your own.

— Hannah (Oct 2021)

A really great tour of the area from a different perspective. It's rich in history and in describing the origins of Chinatown and the places we saw were really interesting. Would recommend! P.S. They hand out really great restaurant recommendations!

— Ofek (Sep 2021)

A pleasant tour of Chinatown, with some information on life under the Chinese Exclusion Act as well as showcasing some local businesses and what Chinatown has become today.

— Tamar

HIDDEN GEM tour in Chinatown NYC! Must do If you are in the area! This is one of the best tours we have taken in NYC! The information is presented in such a well-researched easy to understand format! Don't miss this tour!!!

— Natalia

This was really a stellar tour. Felt like I learned so much about every block of Chinatown from MSG. The way the information was presented was informative, engaging, and very topical. They tied the history with the present so seamlessly. Have and will recommend this tour to friends. Thank you!

— Jarel

Everything was clear and I like too much it’s very rich in history and the knowledge explained was incredible. Thank you so much for the experience

— Diego

Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to learn and grow in one of the most fascinating and historic communities in NYC. Chloe was a fantastic guide, and packed a lot of information per minute, while seamlessly navigating through the bustling streets. I’m a local and still learned a ton. You can eat at one of countless mom and pop shops Chloe recommends after!

— Di

Chloe was an amazing facilitator and storyteller. I loved learning about the history of New York’s Chinatown and recommend this experience to anyone who wants to support local businesses and conserve the histories of BIPOC communities. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

— Justine

It was great, thoughtfully curated. I learned a lot and would love to bring friends back again.

— Danie

Loved this! Definitely would recommend it!

— Elani

An amazing experience and history lesson

— Christopher

This was a fantastic way to experience China Town and broaden our understanding of history. Worth it!

— Damien

It was really nice tour! learned a lot. Totally recommended!

— Dimitrios

Highly recommend this tour! Chloe, our guide, was really knowledgeable in explaining the historical spots in the neighborhood. She had historical photos of those spots so it really helped me picture the past. I really enjoyed the experience!

— Chelsea

This is not just another tour. Not only are the Mott Street Girls knowledgeable about the history of Chinese immigration, but they also present it through a political lens - very timely, especially in the light of current anti-Asian sentiment. It was a very interesting few hours!

— Vinay

I highly recommend this experience! I live in NYC and have been to Chinatown a number of times but wanted to learn more about its history and its people. This tour was perfect! I learned about the backstory behind many streets and establishments (that I will definitely return to - yes you will get a list of recommendations at the end), met interesting people (our guide as well as other people on the tour), and had a better sense of the neighborhood.

— Elisabet

This was AMAZING. I can't recommend it enough. I went twice and I'll go again!

— Ayen

This is an excellent tour of Chinatown. The theme of "relive life under the exclusion act" is a smart way to help newcomers understand the history of Chinatown and the immigrant experience. I will definitely recommend this tour!

— Grace

So much history here! Learned many new things on this tour and really made me appreciate the hard work of so many immigrant families in Chinatown. The printed guide they gave us at the end is a great list of places to explore later.

— Anna

I would definitely recommend this trip to everyone! It was great to learn about the history of NYC Chinatown - Chloe is so knowledgeable and pleasant!

— Leah

Very informative tour. Excellent recommendations for visiting restaurants and shops in Chinatown afterward. A great history lesson with interesting stories.

— Sanford

It was a great opportunity to know more about Chinatown, a place we take for granted for delicious and affordable food. There is so much history to know, this tour definitely got us thinking more about the Chinese American culture and current events.

— Annie

This is equally fun for a local as it a visitor. If you’re a foodie, this tour will be extra special thanks to the long list of restaurant recommendations you get at the end. Our guide, Chloe, was knowledgeable about the area and history. We learned a lot not only about the neighborhood but about the history of Chinese Immigrants in general. You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of Chinese-American people and culture. The tour is 100% outdoors with ample room for keeping distance from others.

— Anna

Chloe was a lovely host, she cares about every single guest no matter how big the group is. This was my first time in Chinatown and me and my girlfriend stayed in the neighborhood walking around more even after the experience using the guide that she gave us after the tour. Book this experience, you won't regret it!

— Francisco

A fantastic tour that goes into not only the history of Chinatown but also the history of the Chinese in America. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and took us to many stops relating to both topics. She is really sweet. I got lost on the way to our meeting spot and she was kind to call and give me directions. And she waited for me too before starting out. At the end of the tour, she provided a list of restaurants and shops in Chinatown to see on our own.

— Michele

This was such a great experience! Our guide was very informative and friendly. I highly recommend.

— Liliana

I originally chose this tour because I wanted to learn more about the culture and history of Chinatown and the history of Chinese immigration to the U.S. The tour did not disappoint. There was history all the way back to the first Chinese immigrants and the laws surrounding immigration at that time. We also got to see the oldest shops, restaurants, and community centers in Chinatown. Our guide Chloe knew the area incredibly well but also came with a slide deck to show pictures of historical Chinatown and show how it has changed over the last 150 years. Afterward, Chloe sent us recommendations for the best Chinese food in our neighborhood as well as in Chinatown. I would highly recommend this tour.

— Cecilia

I loved this experience I meet new people and make new friends I really enjoyed Also they explain the Chinese culture very clear and they show the best historic places in Chinatown Highly recommended.

— Mauricio

Great tour! Easy to find starting point? Check. Thorough and interesting tour? Check. Even a bonus presentation with an iPad as most tours are just the guide talking and walking. Definitely worth the $18 as the tour was very thorough and provided some additional context not just on the topic of the Chinese Exclusion Act, but some additional tidbits about Chinatown as well. Also, it's in Chinatown, so you can shop/eat afterward!

— Alex

Chloe was my tour guide and she was amazing! She was thorough and detailed with Chinese American history. I learned so much. Chloe has a very pleasant personality and engaging. She's very informative and showed us many cool places in Chinatown. 10/10 would go again

— Gavin

Really great tour! I had Chloe as my tour guide and she was thoughtful and informative. Learned a lot and got to see a lot of different parts of Chinatown. Definitely recommend it to anyone who would like to see more of Chinatown or is interested in Chinese culture. Everything was very safe, COVID wise, the whole tour was with masks… She also gave us a list of must-try food places in Chinatown that I will definitely take advantage of!

— Rebecca

Great tour! Covers everything from the history of Chinese immigration to local restaurant recommendations. On-point storytelling with cool slides mixed in. 2 hours very well spent. Highly recommended!

— Yury

Tour was amazing! Chloe went into a great deal of detail about both the history of Chinatown and Chinese Americans as a people. Incredibly eye-opening stories about the lives of the earliest Chinese immigrants.

Chloe gave great insight to the current state of Chinese Americans in the US and how this tied into the past. Excellent Tour! Highly recommend.

Chloe was a great host. She kept us engaged and was well informed, answering all questions we had. She took us on a journey through Chinatown and also through history. In the end, she gave us a list of great places to eat. I would definitely recommend this tour!

Educational and interesting-- even in the rain! Chloe knows her stuff. She seamlessly blends history with contemporary and sprinkles in restaurant recommendations and personal anecdotes into her tour. A must-do in NYC!

Such a great way to get to experience Chinatown in NYC. The MSG have such a deep knowledge of the history of Chinatown and we were able to learn so much and understand Chinatown in a way you can't just go there and walk around on your own.

Very informative walk-through of Chinatown and the lived experiences of some of the locals. Thank you Chloe for the engaging storytelling! Highly recommend this experience for locals and travelers alike.

Highly recommend!

Very informative and fun tour.

We loved this tour - informative, candid, and warm - the time flew by so quickly. I would recommend this tour both to folks who have a little background on the information provided, and those who already frequent Chinatown alike.

A really great tour of the area from a different perspective. It's rich in history and in describing the origins of Chinatown and the places we saw were really interesting. Would recommend! P.S. They hand out really great restaurant recommendations!

Lots of great details and history about Chinatown and American history.

Very informative tour! Chloe was very nice and patient. She answered a lot of questions and it was fun walking around learning and talking. Chinatown has a rich culture; so much to learn and see!

A pleasant tour of Chinatown, with some information on life under the Chinese Exclusion Act as well as showcasing some local businesses and what Chinatown has become today.

HIDDEN GEM tour in Chinatown NYC! Must do If you are in the area! This is one of the best tours we have taken in NYC! The information is presented in such a well-researched easy to understand format! Don't miss this tour!!!

This was really a stellar tour. Felt like I learned so much about every block of Chinatown from MSG. The way the information was presented was informative, engaging, and very topical. They tied the history with the present so seamlessly. Have and will recommend this tour to friends. Thank you!

Everything was clear and I like too much it’s very rich in history and the knowledge explained was incredible. Thank you so much for the experience

Chloe was an amazing facilitator and storyteller. I loved learning about the history of New York’s Chinatown and recommend this experience to anyone who wants to support local businesses and conserve the histories of BIPOC communities. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

It was great, thoughtfully curated. I learned a lot and would love to bring friends back again.
