My boyfriend and I completely enjoyed ourselves on the tour of Greenwich Village/SOHO. I have done 2 other tours and knew what to expect. My boyfriend had never done one of these tours and told me throughout the tour what a great time he was having. The tour guide was able to tell us about the history of the area as well as the history of some of the places we stopped for tastings. The food we had, from each place, was really delicious. We tried things from Indian street food to pasta with bolognese sauce to rich creamy ricotta cheesecake. We stood outside of some places and others we were invited in to sit at tables and relax, try the food and listen to stories of how the particular restaurant came to be. In all, we had a great time exploring this small section of the Village and the great and diverse food it has to offer. We intend to go back and do some more exploring on our own and we certainly intend to sign up for other tours. Thank you! |

We spent 3 days in NYC. The first 2 were spent around Times Square and we were bored to the point we were ready to go home early. Previously we had been to Greenwich village and didn't know what to do. Thanks to this tour we not only found great food, but fun things to do while there. We spent the rest of the day there and had a blast and went back to the restaurants we tried on the tour to get more great food. The Indian Bread company is the BEST! |

Your tour was wonderful. It was recommended to me by a New York native as a great thing to do when my mother and sister-in-law came to NY for a short holiday. We had a great time. I loved that the food was affordable, the guide knowledgable and that the information she provided was about many topics. We had a blast. |

Foods of NY tours are wonderful if you really want to get an in-depth look and taste for a particular area of the city. Much better experience than sitting on a coach and just looking at things as you pass them by. The group sizes definitely need to be kept small to keep with the quaintness of some of the establishments and even the areas. The last thing you want to do is make it feel too touristy. We had 16 ppl + myself and that should be the absolute maximum. Anything more would not be manageable and alter the experience. I've done this tour and the original Greenwich Village one and loved both! |

Half of the food was amazing, and the other half was average. Although the walk through Washington Park was pretty, I would have preferred to spend more time at eating establishments or food boutiques. If would be great if the company would purchase those disposable ponchos and then sell them on the tour, as we spent half of the tour in the rain. |

This was the second food tour that I have done with this company and we were not disappointed. It was absolutely wonderful - our guide was fantastic and the food was incredible. I would totally do another one of these tours again. |

Our tour guide Susan was very informative and knowlegable. The best stop was the first one and that was the Indian restaurant. I will definitely be back to Aamchi Pao. Do not eat anything before the tour because you get a lot of food. |

We did it with a group of seven. We all thought it was a lot of fun. We enjoyed every tasting and found the guide very knowledgable. We all agreed that it was the best cheesecake we ever had! Each stop was unique and quaint. I highly recommend it and know that next year we will do it again. |

This tour was one of the highlights of our trip. Raheem's knowledge and enthusiasm combined with the delicious food made for a very excellent way to see a section of the city. I am a repeat customer and believe I was succesful in converting two new customers who had never been on a food tour. One of our group members is local to New York and learned several new places that he plans to revisit. I plan to try a new tour each time I get the opportunity to visit New York. |
