| 1. I thought there was much too much talk and not enough tasting or information about the tastings. I thought the tour would be more foodie - ie assume people had quite a bit of interest in and knowledge about food.
2. My vegetarian Cuban option was really disgusting. It was fried (greasy and old stale oil) mashed potato (lumpy and undersalted) with what tasted like processed cheese in the middle. It left me with an unpleasant after taste and I still feel sick when I think about it..
3. I was shocked that our guide asked people to pay $10 for a cocktail in the cuban place, when they were clearly advertised on a board for $5 outside.....
4. I enjoyed the Mozeralla place (and it was interesting to go into a theatre and hear about the cultural life of the area). |

| My husband and I did the Chelsea/Meatpacking Tour while we were on our honeymoon in New York a couple of years ago and loved it. We returned to New York (our favourite place in the whole world!) last month and decided to try another Foods of NY tour, this time we took my Mum along with us as she travelled with us for a few days. All of us thought the tour was amazing...it is so great to learn about the history of New York, the food culture and of course experience the sights, sounds and flavours of the city with such a fabulous, knowledgable host. We will definitely do another tour next time we come back! Thank you so much Rahim (my apologies I'm sure I have your name wrong but hope someone works it out so our thanks and rave review reaches you!) Cath & Simon Beckett and Teri Andrew :o) |

I would definitely recommend this tour. Additionally, I intend to sign up for other tours your group offers. Rahim was a very gracious, caring, entertaining guide.
Thanks a million! |

| I took my 21 year old niece on this tour as part of her birthday weekend in the city. We had a great time. In addition to the incredible foods we tasted, we gained an appreciation for the history of the village. Our tour guide, Susan, was very friendly and knowledgeable. I have been recommending this tour to all my co-workers and plan to bring my mother back in the fall for her birthday. |

| I received a pair of tickets to this food tour as a gift from someone who had already taken it, and thought I would enjoy it (I did). The guide was fantastic, funny and knowledgeable. It was nice to learn of some new restaurants that I would never have come across on my own, and fun to meet the owners, and sample their foods.
The vegetarian in our group was given something special to eat in each spot. The walking is minimal, all the restaurants we visited were within a few blocks of each other, so most people would have no difficulty. |

| We have taken the other food tours by this company (Chelsea & Greenwich Village) and there seemed to have been more food. This tour was less food and more talk.
The tour guide, Raheem, was very informative and funny and we did enjoy ourselves, but we enjoyed the other two food tours more. |

| This was a trip with my daughters, It was a little long but we did learn a lot about the history of Greenwich/Soho district. The restaurants we sampled were delicious and very welcoming. Our guide was very considerate and very knowledgeable about the district and restaurants. |

| Loved all the places we went. We wish we had more time in the city to go back to all/some of the restaurants. Rahim had a lot of passion and we really enjoyed the whole tour.
thanks |
