| This is a must to do if you are in New York. Lots of "local" information and great food. Our guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining, lots of fun. It gives you a good feel for NY community in the 'burbs'. |

| One of our group was a city native, but found places she had never been. The rest of us don't get into NY very much and loved the variety and stories. |

| I was with a group of co-workers with lots of different tastes and personalities in the group. Everyone of us loved the tour! The tour guide was full of interesting information and tips that non New Yorkers need to know. The tastings were varied and delicious and made one want to go back to that particular restaurant. If you are not a native New Yorker you would never even know most of these places exist. After going on this tour I will never go to the large, expensive, touristy places again.
I can't wait to do a different tour!
Thanks for a wonderful experience!

| Our guide, Rahim, was very knowledgeable about the central village and SOHO. We enjoyed his observations and recommendations.It was a great way to learn about the history of the village as well as the various comedy and music venues. We would love to také another tour in the near future. |

| I enjoyed the tour and the food. I could have done without hearing so much about our tour guide's upcoming nuptials, and HIS interests. I know having the tour guide "personalize" their tours by relating their own interests and having that as an overlay can be a positive experience -- but Rasheem proves up the old adage that you can have too much of a good thing. |

| This was my third trip to New York and I wanted to do something a little different this time. This tour met all my expectations and more. Our guide was Susan and she was very knowledgable of the area - the history and all the restaurants. For a walking tour, it was very very easy - any one could do this.
The restaurants and food shops were outstanding - cheese cake at "Bellavitae" was unbeleivable -need to find that receipe.
I highly recommend this tour - great value for your money. Many thanks to Susan - you are a great guide!

| This tour is fantastic and gives you a great overview of the Greenwich and SoHo neighbourhoods. I really wished I had done the tour on the first day of my trip to NYC as I discovered so many great restaurants and cafes that I wanted to go back to for a full meal. The guide was very informative, the food sampling was generous and varied cuisines, and the distance covered on the walking tour gave you a nice insight into the neighbourhood. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys great food and is adventuresome with different ethnic dishes. You also discover some great gourmet food stores/bakeries if you are looking to cook at home or take items home with you. |

| I have recently attended the Central Village and Soho Food Tour. I had already attended the original Greenwich Village tour two years previous and thought that was well done.
The Greenwich Village/ Soho Food Tour is even BETTER.. We sampled a larger spectrum of diverse foods which included a spicy vegetarian Indian wrap , an Italian pasta bolognese (they make their own pasta even), empanadas and yucca ( similar to a potato)at a Cuban restaurant which is the best I have ever had, Italian pepper sausage from an Italian butcher ( I went back and actually bought some to take home), a tasty zuchinni parmesian pizza (fantastic crust), and a poached pear /hazelnut chocolate dessert tart( the grand finale well worth waiting for).
Our guide, Susan, was very knowledgeable providing us with a bit of history and fun facts about the area.
It was a great opportunity to experience foods that I would never have thought of trying. I would definitely take this tour again the next time I go back to New York. |

| Nancy our guide was fantastic. Very warm and friendly, yet she kept us on track and gave us a lot of information about the area. Her selection of restaurants and stores along with the food choices were great. The pace of the tour was good for both the family with children as well as the older folks. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get their bearings in Greenwich Village as well as finding out about some wonderful restaurants that you would normally not even consider. The tour was worth every penny. We are already looking for a tour to take next year on our 2010 sojourn to NYC. |
