| I can't recommend this enough, the tour was fascinating and the food delicious. It really gives you a lot more than just walking around by yourself. The guide was excellent. We'll be doing the classic tour next time we're in NYC. |

| Good mix of food shops and establishments. Lots of background information on the development of the area both culturally and culinary provided by guide on each place visited. Saw how ethnic food has been adapted to NY style. The variety of food samples provided were of suitable strength to stimulate the palate and encourage you to visit on your own to experience the full range of flavours and dishes on offer.
Well worth doing and you get plenty of food so that another stop for lunch is not required. |

| The tour was lots of fun and very informative. I learned a lot about the area which I never knew before. Our guide was knowledgeable and spent lots of time going over the architecture of the buildings as well as the mult-cultural aspects of the area. Our walk included stops at some local eateries but could have included more. We stopped at a few places that we were told about but were not able to sample the cuisine - disappointing! Our mouths were watering with the description of the food!! Washington Square was fun but I would have liked to have seen more of it. We only did a couple of blocks of SoHo and I didn't get the flavor or feel of the area like I did on the first part of the tour though Central Village. I had a great time and am looking forward to booking another of the other tours. Wear good supportive shoes and dress appropriately and you'll enjoy yourself immensely! |

| Cannot rave enough about this tour. If you are planning a tourist visit to NY, take this tour FIRST. You'll then have enough great choices of places to go eat for your entire visit.
This is not just about a food tasting. You can read specifics about that in other reviews.
It is also a very interesting and informative cultural/history tour of the area.
My wife and I are both over 60 years old, we have slowed down a bit in the last 20 years, but the walking was not strenuous, although the day was hot and humid.
Our guide, Raheem, was terrific. (This seems to be the ongoing message in almost every review I read). If all the other guides are as good as he, this is a “cannot miss”.

| Yummy, often non-conventional tastings. Introduces you to unique shops and restaurants that you'd never discover on your own. Highly recommended for foodies and non-foodies alike! |

| 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. |

| 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 was great and the food was really unique. I would definately do it again - just make sure you wear good walking shoes. |
