| the guide was very knowledgeable and gave out really good information. The food was just more than a bite, very substantial helpings, and I think most persons did not have lunch. I also liked the handout with all the names and addresses and bios on some of them. Best handout I have been given in a long long time. |

| What a great afternoon excursion into such an interesting part of Manhattan - both historically/culturally and from the food perspective! The delicious and diverse foods tasted coupled with the knowledge and passion of our guide, Barri, made this tour one of the highpoints of our trip. |

| Bob, our guide, was delightful. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He made the Chelsea Market come alive with history, interesting facts.
Negative: Not really enough tastings. (Compared to other tours.)

| We learned some general information about the area (cultural, historical, etc.) and how it came to be, as well as sampling some fantastic food along the way. I would have found it helpful and interesting to learn more details about the history of the area. Our tour guides were very cheerful and enthusiastic, and showed the utmost respect and pride for their neighbourhood. My only misgiving is that we didn't do the tour at the beginning of our trip, because I would have loved to have visited some of the restaurants that we learned about during our tour. |

| What a beautiful day to be in NY for a Food Tour! Cool,sunny,clear skies!This was planned as one of my bday outing, perfect for an aspiring chefy! Being in NY,great weather,friends,family, and FOOD... what more can you ask for ? It was one of my best birthday outings by far. This was something new to do to celebrate other than our usual routine of lounge/bar hopping. My friends and family enjoyed every minute of the tour! The food was excellent. Our tour guide Rahim was great. I just love being around people who speak food and culture with such enthusiasm and passion! He gave us tons of info on these hidden treasures of SoHo that we wouldnt have known about ! We always go into the city and live so close! We are definitely heading back to check them out again.Now, I think I have more appreciation with the people in this area of NY, jealous they live in the middle of town so rich w/culture food and history! I'm looking forward to go to Rahim's Sushi tour in Sept. and your other food tours! LOVE IT. Thanks again! -Kat- |

| Our guide, Rahim was very knowledgeable and answered ALL our questions. He put so much enthusiasm in the tour, one could not help but have fun!!! Mari, to whom I gifted this tour, is vegetarian and Rahim was very thoughtful in supplying her with meals to the best of his ability and Mari was very grateful.
We thought Rahim was so good that Mari and I have booked the Sushi tour for Thursday, Sept 27th.
I will also book the "original" Greenwich tour in the fall.
Thanks for such a great time!

| This was the first time my husband and I had been to New York. I heard about the walking/eating tours from the Today Show and ordered tickets online. We loved it and would recommend it to everyone! We would never have known about Soho and Greenwich Village, and would have missed one of our most delightful days while in NYC. Our tour guide, Barri, was just great and shared so much history with us. The food was wonderful and was MORE than enough! On our last day in New York we took the subway back to Soho and ate supper at one of the restaurants on the tour, and dessert at another one! |

| We would recommend this tour. Our only disappointment was that it concentrated in the Village and only briefly included SOHO - we would have liked to have seen and learned more of the SOHO neighborhood. Barri , our tour guide, was excellent and very informative. |

| I have taken your other tours many times, but this was a first for the Central Village and Soho tour. Lots of great foods to sample--many that I would have never tried on my own. Our guide was very knowledgable and kept all of us together quite efficiently. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who likes to explore the foods and history of this area. Thanks for the great list of restaurants and stores. Sometime I hope you develop a Soho-only tour in more depth. Returning Seattle-ite. |
