| I have had the pleasure of touring with Food Tours of NY three times, all of which have far exceeded expectation. It is a small group, only 14 - 16 people.
The guides are vibrant and enthusiastic and it feels like you've got a close friend or relative who's an insider, guiding you around their favorite jaunts. Lots of great information, even maps and summaries, including places that are in the area, but not necessarily on the tour. I've saved all of my 'insider' booklets from these tours and shared them with friends and re-used them on return visits. In my opinion, this is one of the best ways to get to know an area of the City. |

Headed back to dim sum to go again today.
Thank you so much for Rasheem !!

| My husband and I have taken all the Food Tours presently offered and we'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite. This tour measured right up to the others and, Raheem, as usual, was an informed and enthusiastic guide.
Chinatown can be a challenging, somewhat impenetrable neighbourhood to visit and this tour was an excellent introduction. I'd strongly recommend it for both locals and visitors.
And they were right - come hungry. |

| What a great way to explore and experience Chinatown. We have been there several times, but this experience made us feel that for the first time, we knew our way around. Wonderful choices of restaurants and a great variety. Leader was very knowledgeable of the area and made many recommendations when we come back on our own. This was our first time with this company and we can't wait to sign-up for the next tour. |

| Yes we really enjoyed this - obviously the food was excellent (we actually went back to Dim Sum Go Go two days later for more) but the really great thing about this tour was the introduction to the best/recommended places. We have been to NY's Chinatown before but it can be confusing - even intimidating - if like us you are unsure about trusting either the guidebooks or your instincts in terms of the sheer volume of restaurants. What the tour did for us was to highlight where to go, where to avoid and what to look for in terms of quality. Rahim's enthusiasm was very positive. We'd recommend to others without hesitation.

| While my husband and I visit NYC often, we always seem to visit the same old places. I read an article about a walking tour of Chinatown and signed up immediately as a surprise Valentine's Day present for my husband. It was a huge hit, in no small part because of our exceptional tour guide, Raheem. I plan on signing up for all the tours offered and I expect to be just as happy at the end of each one. While we're certainly not experts on Chinatown, after this tour, we'll definitely feel more comfortable exploring on our own. Thanks, Raheem!! See you soon...... |
