| Can you imagine spending a 4-day weekend in New York City with 6 of your favourite people? And to add to the fun, spending 3 hours with a great tour guide called Raheem! This was truly an enjoyable experience, sampling different ethnic foods while learning about the history and culture of 2 distinct areas of the city.
I especially liked the Indian food and the Jamaican patties (so good, we bought extra ones to take back to the hotel). Thank you for a great time. Raheem. You're very good at what you do. One last thing, can you please say hi to the wonderful staff at the Monte's restaurant (Guido, Thomas and the chef Pietro) for a memorable meal and a great evening on Saturday night! |

| The tour was not only informative, but fun! I can't wait to go back to the area to try some of the dining suggestions. My 15 year old daughter and 13 year old friend did NOT want to go on the tour but admitted later they would go on another one. They also liked the choice of samples! Raheem was full of information and suggestions, he also had a nice edge to his comments so it did not seem like a "guided" tour. After the tour we went back to 3 of the small stores for snacks and purchases to take home. I cannot think of a negative regarding the tour. |

| This is my second village tour w/ you. Both tours have been the highlights of my NYC trips. I have recommended this tour to my father and several others that will be traveling to the city. The next time I visit I plan to the last of the three tours! The food has always been great as were the food guides. We always end filling delightfully full and have many more ideas of places to eat on our own when we return for dinner! |

| 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.

| My sister and I did the walking tour, great ethnic foods with generous samples. Nicely paced, great guide who was friendly and gave lots of history of the village. O bvious that she loved the area. We went back that evening to one of the restaurants to have dinner and again another day to take photographs and have lunch. We
both would highly recommend the tour. |

| Our walking food tour was fantastic! Rahim was a great guide and we learned sooooo much about the village area, it's history and those who live there. I would do it again and again. Wear good walking shoes! Well worth the cost! |

| Raheem led the group on a very interesting, informative, fun and stomach filling time on this tour of Central Village. It's amazing that there is so much to experience and enjoy in such a small area of Manhattan. In order to see everything the time is brief at many of the establishments but it gives a good excuse to return and explore and purchase newly discovered items on ones own. I only want to add one thing---Monte's cuisine is northern Italian---not southern which is no big deal since both are great. |
