| of the 2 hours, 45 minutes were at one end of the food court teaching us about chocolate and cheese..while interesting, the tour was described on the internet as a food oriented tour of the lower east side...didnt get a very good understanding of the area..food stops ok but we have been on several other food tours which we have thoroughly enjoyed and this wasnt in the same league..when we brought up suggestions to the tour guide(who happened to be the owner), she was defensive and not interested in our ideas...she also was on her blackberry repeatedly during the tour..all in all, not a great experience |

| My husband and I had a wonderful time on the LES food tour. Our guide Nicole was thorough and enthusiastic. We loved the combination of the different shops we stopped at and enjoyed sampling all of the wonderful treats. We'd definitely take another tour again somewhere in the city. It's also worth mentioning that we have lived in the city for more than ten years, yet we still found it interesting to learn about a neighborhood that's in our back yard.

| Jennifer was a terrific tour guide. We were the only people (couple) on the tour. Jennifer arrived promptly and was enthusiastic and knowledgable both about the history of the area and the foods we sampled. The tour was filled with friendly New York establishments along with incredible food stops. Our guide knew all the places we stopped at and knew the owner/operators. This increased the pleasure and experience of the trip because we weren't just stopping in places, but experiencing them with the people who run them. We definitely recommend this tour and especially our guide. |

| I would recommend this tour even if you are from the local area (as my partner was). What you experience are the things that may be off the beaten path but are of significant importance to the overall culture of the area. It was very enjoyable, the tour guide well informed and great personality. |

| My friend and I had such a great time on the LES tour! Our guide Jennifer gave such an all-encompassing history of the neighborhood, culture and food of the area while engaging us with colorful backgrounds of the shops and vendors we were visiting. I've lived in NY for over 5 years, yet had never discovered these great little food gems on my own! |

| I bought these tour tickets as a Christmas gift for my husband. We've lived in NYC 5 years but have barely made a dent in getting to know the Lower East Side. We had never heard of most of the stores, or had walked past them with nary a second thought. We'd also like to thank our guide Jennifer, who was prepared for anything and everything and provide much more context than we had expected. |

| This tour, with stops at excellent local food merchants around the Lower East Side, was a fantastic way to become excited about a part of the city that I don't know too much about. Our tour guide, Jennifer, was very informative and came across as genuinely enthusiastic about the food we sampled and the fascinating people behind the counter. I heartily recommend this tour not only for visitors to New York, but also those who call it home, because there's always something to discover in our great city. |

| Not only was this tour so much fun but we learned a lot about the Lower East Side as well as some of the food artisans there and how their business developed. The food tastings were superb and the interaction with some of the shop owners very rewarding. Our tour guide was wonderful; energetic, bright, personable. I am recommending going on this tour to all my friends plus my husband and I plan to sign up for a different culinary tour in the near future. |
