| We thoroughly enjoyed this tour! We were on the tour with our grown son and his wife and the tour was one of the highlights of our weekend in New York. Diana was our tour guide and she was a delight. She was full of good humor and loads of information. She really knows her stuff about Greenwich Village. The food that we sampled was both varied and delicious - from ricotta cheese cake to homemade sausage and fresh mozarella cheese. The tour was done at a comfortable pace and we became acquainted with many restaurants that we would never have known about. |

| There's so much going on in the Village and SoHo that it's easy to miss many of the smaller things. This tour featured visits to a number of excellent and tiny restaurants with a wide variety of real food. There is also good history and culture delivered by a genuine native New Yorker.
I've been toured through the area by a number of amateur locals, and had good times. This was head and shoulders above those, and well worth the money. Next time we head for NYC, we're looking at another Foods of NY tour. |

| I had the most wonderful experience on the food tour. Not only did I taste so many different types of food that I would have never thought of, I learned so much about Central Village/SoHo area. The foods were filling and amazing!! Definitely recommend anyone and everyone to go. We're going to do the rest of the neighborhoods. |

Lots of food, skip lunch before you go

| Hello - I booked the Soho Food tour for my company this past weekend and just want your company to know we all had a blast! We had 13 attendees and everyone LOVED the food, the tour and the history we all learned. Most of us walk by places in Soho not even realizing how special they really are, and Rahim totally showed us a dif't side of Soho. He was so interesting, and passionate about the tour - going out of his way to make us realize how great Soho really is.
Almost everyone left the tour with a new appreciation of Soho and NY in general. Plus they all wanted to go on other tours through your company through the company or on their own, which is even better!! I know for myself, I'd love to know which other tours Rahim is responsible for, so I can make sure to sign up again with him.
Thank you so much for allowing our corporate party to have such a blast this past Saturday! :O) |

| We had a great time learning about both the history of the area and the lifestyle of the people that live there. We discovered some great new places to try out along with some options for entertainment we did not know much about. I would tell anyone it would be worth their while to take the tour. |

| The tour was both informational and alot of food to sample. Our tour guide, Raheem was very personable and made it alot of fun. The variety of food was very interesting from falafel, homemade mozzarella, Cuban meat pies, ricotta cheesecake - a field day for your taste buds. Some stops were merely take out stands where you stood on the sidewalk to sample and other stops were restaurants with tables & chairs to sit and sample. We walked at a comfortable pace and Raheem showed us many landmarks from Cafe Wha where Jimi Hendrix got his start to the rowhouse Bob Dylan once owned. Bottled water was provided plus a hand out with the names and addresses of the places we stopped. There was a stop where you were able to purchase an alcoholic beverage. We liked it so much we went back that evening to enjoy an entire meal at a restaurant Raheem recommended plus to get a whole piece of cheesecake and not just a sample. Delicious!! Can't wait to go next year and do a food tour in another part of the city. |

| Raheem was a great guide. He was very informative on the history of the neighborhood, very pleasant to speak with, and gave us plenty of information on the foods we sampled.
We will definitely do another tour. |

| Interesting history of the area...our guide was very informative...the food samples were mostly very satisfying, especially the Cuban restaurant....
A lot of standing for long periods of time, but the weather was pleasant which made the afternoon enjoyable. I would recommend this activity! |
