Central Village/SoHo Food & Culture Tour

activity photo

Sample tasty treats from ethnic, old-school eateries in two distinct areas - one colorful and exciting, the other surprisingly quaint.

The tour guide did an excellent job providing information on the food we were sampling and culture of the area. The food was all very good. My favorite was the smoked mozarella cheese, sun dried tomatos and sausage. When we started our tour it was raining very hard, which put a bit of a damper on things, but by the end of the day the weather was lovely. One of the parties in our group came almost a half hour late and the tour guide accomodated them and took the whole group back to the first restaurant, this resulted in the whole tour running over the time limit.

Great way to experience Greenwich Village

We were in NYC on a "girls weekend", and thought this tour would be a great way to see the Central Village/SoHo area. We were RIGHT! All of the food tastings were of a very high quality with generous portion sizes. We enjoyed the varied types of food that were presented. We especially liked Monte's and the Gnocchi that was served, so much so that we had to return later in the evening for dinner. Our guide, Susan, was wonderful. We loved all the history/stories she told us about the area in addition to the food tastings. The whole experience was great, we would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting NYC!

My husband and I really enjoyed our Central Village/SoHo tour. Rajeem (sp?) was fun and knowledgeable. All the food we tasted was awesome! The next night we returned for dinner at Monte's and also went to the Comedy Cellar, which Rajeem recommended, and totally enjoyed both places. The printed guide we received will be very helpful on future trips to NYC also. My only worry is that now that I've had halva from Ali Baba I won't be able to find anything that comes close to that good in Ohio!

SEE the Village and Soho from the inside out... HEAR the history... TOUCH the heartbeat of America's Village... SMELL the vibrant ingredients of the local and global economy... TASTE the cuisine... BALANCE all you learn and taste with the people that built, and thrive in, this amazing community. This experience will make you a part of The Village. When you're finished, you'll look forward to your next tour.

This tour was completely amazing, not only did we get to experience a very diverse menu we also learned about the history and architecture of the area. Our tour guide Raheem was quite knowledgeable. He really knows his history, everything came from memory. He had no prompts. I totally recommend this tour and am looking forward to trying the others out.

Rahim was our tour guide and he was fun and very knowledgeable. There were six of us in the group and we all agreed that this was worth every penny and the highlight of our trip. We loved tasting the different foods as well as learning about the culture and history of Greenvich Village and Soho. I will definitely book another tour when I visit NYC again.

3 hours went fast while eating, walking and listening to our knowledgeble tour guide. I have stayed in the neghoborhood before but know now that I then knew nothning about it. I am looking forward to go back and try out the eateries that the guide suggested.
