Loved the tour and my guide was great. I made the mistake of reserving the wrong time and I had to call the contact number on my ticket and they were very helpful in getting me rescheduled while I was still in town. I really appreciate it. This is a great activity for visitors to really get to know different areas of the city and have a great time doing it.

I had friends in town, it's a great way to get to know the area a little better (especially if it's not your neighborhood) and you get little tidbits of info you might never have known otherwise. Don't eat a big breakfast....lot's of good food to keep the tour moving!

Wonderful tour guide made tour very interesting. The establishments visited provided tasty samples that were appropriate in size. Quite pleasing to a lover of Italian specialty foods.

Cindy Keiter was fantastic. She made the three hours, which flew by, fun, informative and like a family getting together for some food and laughs. We (the four of us) were really surprised at how much we liked doing the tour and plan on doing the Sushi Tour and Brooklyn Bridge Tour on our next visit to NYC. We live in Boston and come to the city at least twice a year. Of course we will want to be in Cindy's group. Thanks for a really fun time.

the tour was fabulous and all of the food was great - really went through a full gambit of foods and information about the area. the best part, however, was our tour guide - curt upton. he was absolutely fantastic. he was so enthusiastic and involved everyone from the start. he made a point to learn everyone's names and used them throughout the entire tour. he was funny, motivational and engaging. he could have talked the whole time - talked fast and furiously - but made sure to include everyone and give them a time to shine. i work for a bike tour and rental company here in nyc and was overwhelmingly impressed with this guide. so much so that i am considering sending my guides on tour with curt to show them how its done. my mother was with me an agreed whole-heartedly that curt absolutely made the tour as wonderful as it was. thanks, rachel karr bike and roll nyc

This was a great tour, it's absolutely worth it, the food is great at the guide was very entertaining. Little tip though: don't have a late breakfast before the tour starts, but that's probably common sense now that i think of it. Too bad we didn't have any more time to try one of the other food tours! Next time...

Could do this without a tour guide

We were more than a little disappointed in this tour. Earlier in the week we went on the Original Greenwich Village tour and loved it. This tour was like being taken through a mall. Very small samples (left hungry) and the gelatto sample was being given away free to anyone who stopped into the store - not sure where the $44 per person went as the total food sampled probably cost about $5-7 per person. Would have loved it if there was even 1 restaurant tasting as that might have enticed us to want to come back to the area another time. The other tour booklet had coupons for the local businesses which might have encouraged us to return to the market and purchase items, this one did not. Felt the guide did her job, but the tour itself was not well thought out. 2 hours walking through the market, with the final hour (actually less than that as our tour took under the 3 hours we were told it would) was outside pointing out a points of interest. We were allowed to stop into Morimoto's restaurant, and the "highlight" was that we should go check out the bathrooms. Not sure that's what he would like us to take away from his restaurant. The average person could walk the market, pick up a brochure and learn the same information and poke around the shops at your own pace. Also, as for the local restaurants anyone off the street could step inside and ask to see a menu and see the same things we did today. Overall, we would not recommend this particular tour.
