The food was very good and it was fun to try new flavours. The tour guide was pleasant and well informed and presented thoughts on the area nicely.
The group size (I believe it was 15) was in our opinion too large. A smaller group closer to 10 would be easier to manouever around the city and the restaurants. |

Even a native has much to learn |

I live here but my sister was visiting me .. and this was her very first trip to US and New York. This tour put her on the top -- not only did we have fun tasting different things, but also the history of the Village - the many interesting people who have frequented these stores, restaurants -- the little gems along the way... :) She of course loved it. I was hoping to get a fun time but I guess even a ntive has much to learn... I would recommend this for one and all.
Diana - you are a considerate, patient guide. |

I enjoyed the tour very much. It rained the entire time but our guide and the food was so good that I didn't mind the rain a bit. |

A group of friend went on the Greenwich Village tour last year and this year we took the Central Village/SoHo tour. It did not disappoint. Rahim, our guide was excellent and was flowing with fun facts of the area with great suggestions about everything from music to food. He made the experience so delightful, I hardly noticed the pouring rain. I can't wait to do another food tour on my next trip to NYC. |

Rahim was our Tour Guide & he made the 3 hours fly by even though we trudged through the pouring rain! I live in NYC & I learned so many new things while on the tour. He went above & beyond my expectations & I highly recommend trying it out! |

Nice selection and variety of foods - many things we would not have ordered or tried ourselves. Our guide, Raheem, was great, he knows and loves food and the city and it showed. He added a lot to our visit. We plan on signing up for his Chinatown Tour in the summer. |

great cultural experience! |

The group consisted of mostly under 35 couples, but there was a single woman from new jersey, myself and my mom as well. I got it for my mom as a mothers day gift, figured it would be unique. She enjoyed it, as did I. I will definitely participate in another tour again. Someo f the food was spicy, so beware. I am not one for spice, but I do enjoy a little exotic food once in while so I thought it was tolerable, but my mom did not enjoy the spice much. The tour guide Susan was fantastic. You could see her passion about the neighborhood. She was very friendly and helpful. It will make you tired! The walking was not very far but for some reason I was exhausted afterwards. My mother was too. I work in manhattan (and im only 23) so im used to alot of walking, in total i walk approx a mile per day, and my mother walks for 30 minuts almost every night, but this tour definitely made us go home and rest. It was well worth it though!! Just think through any plans you make for afterwards, and plan for the tour to go over atleast an hour or so.
ine was supposed to end at 330, it ended at 415. |

The tour was fine, it lasted a little too long perhaps because of the long trip round Washingon Square. The food was fine but could be more interesting. The first dish at the Indian restaurant was great but it was downhill from there (we left before the last too restaurants as we had another appointment. It was nearly four PM at the time). I would recommend this tour to friend. |

This is a great way to spend an afternoon away from the tourist traps of Manhattan and find out about the real NY from a New Yorker's point of view.
Our guide Rahim was superb and whilst we weren't familiar with all the cultural references being from the UK we did know where he was coming from most of the time.
The food was excellent going into places we probably wouldn't normally do just by the look of the outside. We went back to Montes for our final dinner (thanks for the recommendation) and also to some of the great places we went to on the original tour a few years ago - glad to see they are still going strong - John's Pizza and Rocco's particularly. |
