| Rahim was an excellent tour guide, very enthusiastic and knowledgeable! We stopped at 5 places, all the food was amazing and portion sizes were surprising (a lot bigger than some of the other tours). This was definitely a highlight of our trip to NYC! |

| Susan, our guide, was very knowledgeable about the Greenwich/Soho tour. It was very enjoyable and the food tastings were outstanding. I would recommend this activity and I will definitely try out some of the other offerings. |

| We have participated in the West Village food tour and loved it, so we decided to do this tour. The food was outstanding, and the serving sizes were generous. We loved the cheesecake and returned the next evening there for dessert. Our guide was very knowledgeable and had many good stories and interesting facts to share in addition to the food. This is a must for anyone who wants a local's perspective on the area and the food. |

| This is probably something I would bring out of town friends and family but still very good for me. Our tour guide was great. Learned a lot of interesting things about the area, the history...and seemed to know his restaurants (and food) pretty well. My only complaint (if any) was that we only visited a half dozen places to eat. The food was great though, wish I had more of an opportunity to sample some more of it....since it was all so good. |

| I took this tour with my father-in-law. We are both from the NY area and really enjoyed every aspect of the tour. The food was great, the tour was informative and we plan on testing out a few of the restaraunts in the future. |

| Our guide was very engaging and full of great insider information about the food scene in the Central Village and SoHo. Aside from the food, he also was very knowledgeable and had great perspective around the history of the area.
There were lots of tastings and the range of tastings was also impressive in terms of variety of cuisines (both savory and sweet).
My only regret was that we didn't do the tour earlier in our trip so we could go back and do some of the things he mentioned. So if you're planning on doing a tour, do it as early in your trip as possible - you'll want to go eat at some of the restaurants that you hear about on the tour.
I'll do another one the next time I'm in New York for sure. New York is best seen on foot and this tour was a wonderful experience - I highly recommend it. |

| 1. I thought there was much too much talk and not enough tasting or information about the tastings. I thought the tour would be more foodie - ie assume people had quite a bit of interest in and knowledge about food.
2. My vegetarian Cuban option was really disgusting. It was fried (greasy and old stale oil) mashed potato (lumpy and undersalted) with what tasted like processed cheese in the middle. It left me with an unpleasant after taste and I still feel sick when I think about it..
3. I was shocked that our guide asked people to pay $10 for a cocktail in the cuban place, when they were clearly advertised on a board for $5 outside.....
4. I enjoyed the Mozeralla place (and it was interesting to go into a theatre and hear about the cultural life of the area). |

| I had a blast! I visit NY each year and this was the first time that I learned so much about the Village and SOHO! The history was so interesting and the food was AMAZING! I would recommend this tour to all of my friends, I would definitely go on another tour. |

| We learned so much while enjoying different and delicious foods. The time passed by too quickly as we were always immersed in the beauty and culture of the neighborhood. |
