| We went on the Chinatown walking/eating with Raheem. The food was fantastic, and our guide provided us with lots of information about what we were eating as well as an interesting overview of Chinatown. He was obviously well-informed and excited about his topic as well as friendly and pleasant. We had a great time; this is our second tour, and we will definitely do another tour the next time we are in NYC. |

| Raheem was a wonderful guide, who told us a lot about things we never heard before.We learned so much about chinese cuisine and their preparation and it tasted soooo good.
My wishes are a similar tour in Harlem. |

| we loved the tour, the guide and the food. This is our second tour and we plan on on going on all of the them. We talked it up at our Thanksgiving dinner last night and convinced some of our relatives to go on your tours. That sums it up. |

| This tour exceeded our expectations! Even though it was the hottest day of the summer, our beginning at Dim Sum Go Go was a perfect way to begin. Rashid was fantastic - thorough, friendly, and knowledgeable. Loved the Peking Duck, and loved all the details Rashid gave us. Really enjoyed the stop at the Chinese medicine store - bubble tea was fun to try, and we really appreciated that Rashid shared his freebie with our 8-year old son. We would highly recommend this tour to others (already have!) and will definitely explore other food tour options with you next time we visit New York. Thanks for the highlight of our trip! |

| The only thing I would change - I would start with "walking" and then do the sit down parts as part of a "break" - overall though - I loved it. I thought it was GREAT and the leader had so much knowledge and such a presence - A+++++++++++++++ |

| I did this tour after doing the Greenwich Tour the day before and was a little disappointed. Our tour guide Raheem was enthusiastic and knowledgable regarding Chinatown. The first course of dim sum was some of the best I have ever tasted.. The tastings that followed were all mediocore in my opinion. Some folks did rave about the peking duck which I do not care for the taste. I should mention that this tour was on special for 1/2 price and was decent for the money. I f contemplating a tour I highly recommend the Greenwich Tour instead of this one. |

| Me and a friend (from England) booked tickets to this event after going on the Greenwich tour last year and completely enjoying that one. And to be honest, we weren't disappointed with this tour. The tour guide (Remon?) had a lot of local knowledge and gave a nice insight into the etiquette and history of China and their food. This tour was particularly good, as there was a lot of places to sit and enjoy the food. The best part, for us, was watching the chef slice the peking duck, and to top it off, the duck was absolutely lovely.
There was nothing that we didn't like on the tour. The food was well thought out and presented at the right times in the tour.
The guide was clear; concise and knowledgable, and was keen to share his knowledge.
I would give this event 5 stars out of 5 and really would recommend the tour to anyone who wants to learn more about an area and learn more about the food. |

| 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.

| 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. |
