| A great way to learn about New York and happily eat our way through the process.
I think the only constructive criticism I would make would have been to try to order the tasting from"soup to nuts"-i.e. start with the appetizer type foods and end on a sweet. We started ith Indian egg roll type food, had several other noshes and ended with delicious pizza-it was just too much-perhaps a sweet from the same bakery would have been better.
I have recommended this to many friends-kind of an insider's way to get to know the city.

| My boyfriend and I are always looking for new and interesting places to dine. THis tour was great in pointing out new places with different menu options. The tour guide was very pleasant and upbeat. The food itself was good, although I can't say it was amazing. I wasn't impressed with the locations highlighted in the tour. I feel that maybe, because there was so much more that could have been discussed and too little time, the topics weren't too interesting. There were a lot of places the guide recommended that were not stops in the tasting. They sounded much more enticing and I feel a little cheated that they were not included. I would definitely recommend the tour to an out of town visitor, but as a person familiar to the city, I would say pass. You can find these places with a quick search. |

| This was one of the highlights of our NYC trip. It provided me with the history of the area, safety in the crowd and the opportunity to try some things which I would have never had the opportunity to try with our limited stay. |

We loved the food and the insight was priceless.

| It was great to get the history of the area and the people who make the food. The guide,Berry. was great and had a ture knowledge and love of the area .She relayed how the neighberhood worked together to create an enviroemnt where you would like to live and keep values of the past. Teenagers would not like this tour as much as adults would.

| The guide was very knowledgable of the area. As I am a semi-local (from Long Island) I will be back to try a few of the restaurants that we visited. |

| What a great afternoon. Luckily a few people didn't turn up so the group was smaller than usual, which meant we could hear the very knowledgable guide (Rahim) easier and got seconds of the delicious food samples which were available! Was a good way of introducing folks to an area they had little or no knowledge of. Thanks for an entertaining afternoon. |

| I thought the guide was very knowledgeable and the food choices were very good. This is my second tour and I like that it is small groups. This guide was courteous and certainly good, but not "warm and fuzzy". A little stand-offish. And perhaps that is intended. |

Heavy on culture, a bit light on food

| We enjoyed the Central Village/SoHo Food tour. It was great to see all the foody hidden spots, especially for someone who goes downtown only for the bars. It was a bid redundant going through the culture of the Village, especially the NYU bashing...we all do it, so move on. But when we did focus on food, the samples were great and a lot of places that could easily be passed by were highlighted.
