We did this tour with our children, age 11 and 13. Dennis was a fabulous tour guide- we loved hearing the history of Prohibition and the Mafia families as we walked passed sights where all of the action took place.Dennis’ own experience growing up in Little Italy made it even more vivid for us and the tour ended with the best cannoli and cheesecake we have ever had!
