| We had a wonderful time exploring the area with Berri our guide. This tour really gives a great feel for the area that you would not achive on your own. We tried wonderful foods and learned not only about the foods of the area but also a lot about its colorful history. |

| 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. |

| At first when I read that the tour would be 3 hours long I was worried that my husband wouldn't make it, he has horrible joint problems in his feet but there were many stops so it wasn't 3 hours of continuous walking and the walking that was done was at a very easy pace. Restroom breaks were included and taken full advantage of!
The food was tasty and definitely was enough to be considered lunch. The tour guide, Raheem, was informative as well as personable. While waiting at the meeting spot before the tour he chatted easily with us at the bar.
We would def do this again next time we're in town. |

| This was a good tour. We had a passionate guide (Raheem) who knew his stuff and it showed. The tastings we plentiful and enough that at the end of the tour you were satisfied. The tour gave a good overview of the area historically and food wise. Definately not time wasted. |

| The tour was fun and interesting, and the food was good (and quite filling). Our tour guide (Rahim) was quite enthusiastic throughout the tour. The one thing that I was a little surprised by was that much of the food was of the take-out, meat-patty variety. This is completely understandable (as it's hard to cook for a group of 16, and patties probably keep well), but it wasn't something I had anticipated ahead of time. Nevertheless, everything was good, and I would recommend the tour to anyone who finds the concept of a "food tour" interesting. |

| We were lucky with the weather and so spent a wonderful sunny day exploring popular and lesser-known streets in the village/soho. the tour focused on the area's history related to architecture, music and immigrants. Although we sampled quite a few different kinds of food (all tasty and interesting), I felt somewhat unsatisfied because each sampling was no more than a bite or two, and we were usually standing on the street trying to keep out of other pedestrians' way while we ate and listened.
Bottom line: a good way to get to know the history and culture of this part of new york, but don't choose it solely for the food! |

| It was a beautiful day for a walking tour and with our very knowledgeable guide Barri and the tasty samples from the many restaurants the 3 hour tour ended way too soon. What a neat way to learn about different areas of NYC. |
