New York's Chinatown is a heady blend of cafes, sidewalk food stalls, street vendors, and traditional herbal medicine shops. There's more than 150 years of history to explore in this fascinating ethnic enclave, including the Museum of Chinese in America and a Mahayana Buddhist temple.
Bargain for not-quite-right perfumes and handbags, dine on dim sum at an authentic Chinese tea house, shop for exotic Chinese antiques, and find unusual ingredients in the Asian food markets to cook up a Chinese storm.

What a brilliant tour.David the guide tended to ramble on a bit but the day was absolutely first class.The lunch was excellent as was the harbour tour.We were able to see a large portion of the city with lots of information and chances to get off the coach and have time to look around places for ourselves.The finale was a trip to Top Of The Rock which was amazing .I am slightly claustrophobic and ha concerns about the lift but as it only takes 30seconds(yes I counted them!) to get from ground to 69th floor it was well worth the trauma.For its content and for the value for money I would higly recommend this tour
