| rahmin was our guide and he was excellent!
the food was all scrumptious and couldn't have been better
we felt the pit stops where we didn't eat could have been a little shorter as we ran a lttle late
the cuban restaurant was a little rushed as we ordered mojitos and had to gulp down (but was worth it)
i'm looking forward to taking your other tours, especially the sushi
unfortunately, the standing only tours may be too much for us |

| This tour was wonderful . I booked it with some hesitation because I was afraid I would not like ethnic type food. Was I wrong!!! The food was great and our tour guide, Susan, was terrific. She was very knowledgeable about the Village and Soho, and lots of fun to be with. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to have some fun, learn, and especially EAT. |

| The food tour of Greenwich and Soho was a fulfilling experience. The tour guide sure knew her stuff. She laid out all of the local history and flavour of the neighbourhoods as well as having an in depth knowledge of how the food was prepared. The places chosen to eat were carefully selected to ensure a broad range of experience and the restaurants were generous in thier portions. No need to order lunch on this tour. This is a great way to sample some of the more interesting restaurants in NYC that we pass by and wonder what they would be like inside. We liked one so much we went back in the evening and had the best time at a restaurant that we have had in a long time. My 26 year old daugther went with us and felt the same way. They even included places that just do deserts, meats and cheeses, which were fascinating. I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in food, history, people and life. You won't be disapointed. |

| The guide was friendly and informative. The food was absolutely delicious and we are from New Orleans where they have a lot good food. I would recommend this food tour to others. We also went on the West Village food tour two years ago. It was equally as good. |

| Our tour guide was terrific. He gave us such an informative guide about the neighborhood, the restaurants, the food they served and what to expect when and if we decided to choose to eat at that establishment.. The portions that we received at each restaurant was more than enough to make a refined review of the food we tasted. The entire tour was outstanding. I would do it again in a heartbeat! |

| My husband and I love NYC and love all the food options, but always feel a bit overwhelmed by the variety and number of choices. To help us discover "authentic" restaurants and learn more about the city, we decided to take the Central Village/SoHo tour. Rahim was our amazing tour guide! He was interesting, helpful, extremely enthusiastic, very knowledgeable, and appropriately friendly. We enjoyed 8 food tastings that covered a nice range of ethnic foods--Indian "street" food, incredibly fresh smoked mozzarella, homemade pasta, sausage, a chicken and beef Cuban empanada, delicious cheese cake (which I normally dislike), and a pear and chocolate tart. We also learned a lot about neighborhood history, including "celeb" bohemian, folk artists who gave the neighborhood its character as well as comedy and music clubs that are popular today. My husband and I are already trying to agree on which food tour to do next. I cannot recommend this tour enough!! |

| 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. |

| For first-time travelers to New York, we knew we would make our rounds through Times Square, the Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, the like... but we wanted to make sure that we visited one of New York's many historic towns - and by visit, I don't mean "sit on top of a double-decker and drive through." I mean pounding feet-to-pavement and immersing ourselves in it. We wanted to visit places that only locals and enthusiasts know about; we wanted to taste food that wasn't following the trend of the month, but rather has been made the same way for generations; we wanted to touch the very stage where musical icons of our generation (and those prior) got their start. And we did all that and more on this tour! A-mazing!!!
Our guide's knowledge of the area was spectacular! She, herself, is a product of Central Village - it doesn't get more real than that!
And the food selection - oh, the food selection - was outstanding! I won't ruin it for any potential participants in the tour who may be reading this, so I won't speak specifically to the dishes that we tried. I will only say that you WILL NOT be disappointed! There were many "best ever" eating moments on this tour, ex. "that was the best [insert dish here] that I've ever had in my life."
We visited New York from Hawaii, a place that's very rich in cultural diversity and culinary influence as well. And we really appreciate the experience that this tour offered. When we look back on our first ever trip to New York, this will be one of it's highlights! |
