| This was one of the best organized tours I have ever taken. Rahim's excitement for the neighborhood shined through in his explanations of the history and culture of the area as well as present day information. The restaurants and in particular the food choices were absolutely amazing. The written information provided during the tour will guide me back to the places we visited and to some of the best bites of food I have ever sampled and also to places and dishes described in such detail by Rahim that I can't wait to return to New York to find these hidden gems. Our entire group was absolutely full of food and knowledge at the end of the tour. Rahim clearly has a passion for food and culture and I would recommend any tour that he leads. |

| I've eaten in Chinatown numerous times and work a short walk away, but this tour broadened my knowledge 1000 percent. My parents were visiting from England so I bought us all tickets and we all loved it. The dim sum was eye-opening and delicious. The Peking duck was great, though less unusual. The other stops and history were excellent and yummy too. Raheem is a very knowledgeable and likable guide. |

| While a lifelong New Yorker and Chinese food aficionado, I learned a great deal about the history of Chinatown and added several new restaurants to my list. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and the whole experience was outstanding. |

| This is my fourth Foods of New York tour, and Raheem (our tour guide) is an enthusiastic and knowledgeable member of their team.
His facts and figures about Chinatown were wide-ranging, and the foods we tasted with him were outstanding. I'm reasonably sure I wouldn't have found these places myself, and as I travel alone it would have been difficult to try so many different foods.
I waddled away from this tour happy. Thanks Raheem and Foods of New York. I'm signing up for the Sushi experience the next time I'm in town. |

| Everytime I come to New York I have to do one of these tours because they are always one of the highlights of the trip! I was here with my mum this time and we did the China town tour and the Greenwich village tour. The Chinatown tour was definitley worth it - our tour guide Raheem was fantastic and all the food was amazing! Its such a good way to explore an area that you might not make the most of on your own and a great way to get to know some great restaurants you can go back to at your leisure! If I come back again with my husband I would probably book this again as I thoroughly enjoyed it! I think my mum had a little crush on Raheem as well!! |

| Chinatown has such an interesting history, and Raheem, our tour guide, was able to give us a definite flavor to the neightborhood. It is also really nice to taste all the different flavors, and to be able to learn how to distinguish fine cuisine! |

| Being from an upper midwest community with little Chinatown knowledge, I would not have even ventured into the area if it had not been for this tour. Having attended another tour last month with friends, I talked my husband into doing this tour and we both loved it! We learned so much about the history of the area and particularly "real" Chinese food. It was fantastic! Our guide was enthusiastic and excellent. |
