| My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon with Raheem? He was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about his subject. Took care of bathroom issues etc.
A great afternoon which I would highly recommend (and already have) to friends especially with this guide. |

| The tour was a balanced mix of food tasting and sightseeing. Since some of the tastings were in establishments, it was an opportunity to relax, be waited on and be able to get off your feet for a bit during the three hour walk.ing tour. The tour guide was well informed, and very personable. |

| I have done other walking food tours in NY. Not nearly as much walking on this tour - actually get to sit down at two decent restaurants. Got to sample some authentic food and there was plenty! Tour guide (Ramon I think his name was) was excellent and very knowledgeable. He was savvy to the area and had an excellent understanding of Chinese culture. Very personable!! |

| We had Raheem as our Chinatown Tour Guide. He is very gifted in what he does and is very enthusiastic and very informed about what he describes on the tour. We saw several restaurants and experienced chinese food that I NEVER would have tried on my own. The Dim Sum, the Peking Duck and the Egg Custard were supurb!
We want to do the Greenwich Village tour next. We had done Soho before this. They are just great fun and a great way to visit the city piece by piece and enjoy the different cultures it consists of. |

| Not only did we have wonderful food, but we learned so much about the specific foods we were eating....learned a little history of the food, culture and area. The examples of some the "etiquette" were, and will be, particularly helpful. Our tour guide was very knowlegeable, easy to hear and listen to. Our food was delayed at the place where we started, but it did not affect the overall experience. |

| I wnet on this tour with two girlfriends. We had a ball. Raheem was a terrific guide - just the right mix of professional and knowledgeable with fun and personal. He knows loads about Chinatown and its restaurants and kept inserting extra little stories into the mix. He managed to move us along and keep us just about on time without seeming like rushing. All in all it was a very enjoyable way to spend an afternoon. I would thoroughly recommend it an I intend to go on more tours with Raheem. |

| We had a great time on our tour! The tour guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The food we had on the stops was great and I was full enough that I could have skipped dinner. We had dim sum, peking duck, beef jerky, scallion pancakes and egg custard--I think that's everthing. I haven't been on any of the other tours so I can't tell you how it compares to the others, but it was definitely worth the money and a great way to explore the city. |

| Although I have been to New York many times, this tour took me to a fascinating part of town that I had never seen. The tour guide was enthusiastic and well-informed, and I felt that I learned a lot about Chinese food and Chinese culture as well as the history of the area. I felt very comfortable being on the tour by myself. I would highly recommend the tour, and I plan to take some of the other tours when I am there next. |
