| My wife and I most especially want to express our delight with our female guide. She knew so much about the history of the Village and made it so real for us with her personal experiences. Her personality was nothing less than exceptional. Since it started raining midway through the tour, she had to improvise to keep the weather from being a problem, which she did with a fair amount of skill. You are most fortunate to have this young lady on your staff (I think her name was Diana, but I am not sure).

| My brother and I are from Australia and we took this tour which recomended by a friend.
Firstly the wealth of knowledge Diana possessed on the area along with the her easy goingand friendly nature, made for one of the best activities I did whilst on holidays in NYC. Diana continually provided relevant information, facts, figures, and wonderful direction.
It was nice that we joined a small group on the day. It was easy to keep pace with Diana. Diana never once showed impatience or lack of interest. The group was captivated and engrossed by her teaching. The food tastings presented to us were a fantastic choice. The cafe, restaurant or business visited were warm, friendly and inviting.
Overall I was very impressed with the tour. I would highly recommend it to others (as it was recommended to me).
Please thank Diana for a brilliant day.

| This was our first day ever in New York and we wanted to get a feel of the 'real' streets and a bit of history and background. We found the whole tour well organized, friendly and informal. Our guide (Barri) knew her stuff and was enthusiastic about the Village. Not too much heavy info and well timed tastings of loads of really interesting and different food. The handout about places to eat was really useful. All in all I would say it was well balanced and good value. |

| I had a spectacular time on the food tour... probably one of the best parts of our quick weekend. With so many things to do in Manhattan, the tour gave us an area that we were more familiar with and in which we were comfortable getting around. The information about the history of the area was interesting and invaluable. The diversity of food that you get to try and hear about is spectacular. The day after the tour, we went back to the area to try places that were not 'taste-tested' during the tour. We felt like total pros, knowing the backstory and history of the area. I highly recommend the tour, Raheem (sp?) did a spectacular job. |

| Our guide Diana was fantastic. She made the tour both educational and enjoyable by carefully adding personal knowledge about the area and helping us to see the neighborhood from different perspectives.
Of course, the food was fantastic. After the tour, my Godmother and I went to one of the recommended restaurants called Monte's and enjoyed a light meal.
This was my third food tour with your company. I recommend your experience to all of my friends and family. Keep up the good work. |

| The tour provided information and sample food for several outstanding restaurants but the most memorable part was finding the old neighborhood establishments for cheese, meat, and pasta. These one of a kind, mom and pop places were unique and places I hope to frequent. Our guide, a NYU graduate, was most familiar with the area and enthusiastically shared his knowledge and opinons. |
