| We were a small group of eight people, three sets of mothers and daughters and one young married couple. Our tour leader, Nicole, was great. She was warm, friendly and knowledgeable. By the end of the afternoon we all felt as if we had known each other for years! We visited chocolatiers, bakeries, one homemade ice cream truck and two wine shops. The shop owners were friendly and were more than willing to answer any questions we had. We will definitely book another tour. |

| We all had a delightful time with our very knowledgable guide. The 6 places we visited were small and would have been overlooked easily by us on our own. There were truly very special places with tastes very unique and delicious also. T he tour was what I hoped for and more and worth the price! |

| Our guide was knowledgeable and personable. We would never have found the artisinal chocolate, bread, and ice cream shops on our own. The wine tasting was more than a taste! |

| Nicole is an excellent tour guide, very informative and a joy to be around. Although the chocolates were very good, I actually liked the other desserts better. I'm not a big wine drinker so the wine tasting was just right for me. It was very cold the day we took the tour but the we didn't suffer from the cold since most of the stops are fairly close together. This tour takes place in a part of Manhattan that we have not spent any time in before so it was neat to learn and see a different area. |

| This tour did not compare in quality to a walking food tour that I took with another tour company through Greenwich Village. The tour guide didn't have much information about the Upper West Side or it's history and she didn't have the level of professionalism that you'd expect. The food establishments didn't know we were coming and we were treated like ordinary customers. We waited while the tour guide stood in line to buy the food and pay for it. It really wasn't worth the money. You could do just as well walking up Broadway from 72nd Street on your own. |

| A group of friends (actually all adult family members who like each other) enjoyed the tour a lot. We learned as we tasted about the food and wine, as well as the neighbourhood. I am really going to try hard to let chocolate rest on my tongue in the future.
The one thing that would have improved the experience was a place to sit in the last wine shop (but probably not possible?). |

| I attended with my daughter in her 20s. As out of towners who get here very occasionally, this was a great way to visit local shops with a guide. I appreciated the small group, just five of us. Our guide was warm, informative and she kept all of us feeling part of things. It was just long enough. Lots of variety, enough to eat and drink. We have been spreading the word to friends in the city and in our own area.

| My daughter and I took this tour on a rainy afternoon. She has recently moved to New York and I was visiting from out of state. She saw it has a great opportunity to learn more about food opportunites in NYC. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and extremely friendly. |

| This was my second time participating in a "sampling" tour. I would have walked by these little places in New York had it not been for this wonderful tour and knowledgeable guide. |
