| Went with 16 year old daughter in New York for a girls weekend. Both of us look forward to trying another food tour next time we are in NYC. Great selection of foods combined with facinating historical and cultural facts. Come hungry!!! |

| My husband and I truly enjoyed every part of our food tour! Our guide, Susan, was informative, patient and helpful to the entire group. She was full of details about the area, it's architecture, peoples and foods!
We were pleasantly surprised by how much food we received for our "tastings". We were worried beforehand that it would only be nibbles of this and that, but it was so much more, and we felt we got a terrific and well-rounded sampling of the foods of the area. We were actually still full after three hours of walking! We loved the added information about sites and history that were included as part of the tour.
We would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience the true "flavor" of a New York City neighborhood and not just the big sight-seeing attractions on their trip. We went back for dinner the next night at one of the restaurants we were introduced to and had an amazing meal there! |

| We had a wonderful time on this tour. The food is fantastic, the neighborhood is easy to walk and the stories were terrific. We found some true gems including the Italian diary and pasta store. We even cancelled our original dinner reservations for that evening to eat at the Chef's Bar at one of the restaurants on the tour. This turned out to be our best meal and talking to the chef while he prepared meals was an experience we soon will not forget!
Group size was perfect and our guide was extremely knowledgeable and considerate.
Highly recommend you try this tour. |

| Our guide Raheem was so enthusiastic, and scaled up or down gauging the group's interest at the moment, and you could see he truly loved what he did ! |

| I have been on 4 tours and would take one everytime I am in New York. They are very informative about the neighborhood and history of the area. Learning about the restaurants and trying the food is what it is all about! When you are in New York as a tourist you don't know about so many of the small and quaint restaurants in these areas and by taking one of these tours you discover many of the fabulous places to eat! |

| A tour such as this gives you an in-depth view of a small part of NYC. The history of the area spans several centuries. |

| I really enjoyed the tour - I found our guide to be knowledgeable and entertaining.
We paid for a normal 'walking tour' the day before which covered some of the same ground - I was a little worried that we would hear all the same stuff twice - but I actually think that this food tour was a lot better - at nearly half the price! Not to mention the fact that the tour also counted as 'lunch' - I enjoyed everything I tasted.
Great value for money. Very entertaining. I would do this again over a normal walking tour any day! |

| Raheem spoke clearly and gave us lots of information and history of the area. He made sure everyone was taken care of. One of our group is a vegetarian and she was able to experience wonderful and varied cuisine just like everyone else. In fact he took particular care to ensure she was well catered for. He added many interesting tips for eating well at a reasonable price as well as some shopping tips too. We all had a great time. Thank you Raheem. |

| Ive taken many of the ZERVE tours in the past and this was one of my favorites! Our leader knew so much about each location and took the tour at a pace that wasnt too slow and wasnt too fast. I got some great pictures (im into photography) and was able to learn about the history of the SOHO restaurants and sample some of their offerings. I would def recommend this tour. Also, she keeps to the time schedule so that you can stick to plans you may have made, but also sticks around at the end of the tour to answer any questions and offers to take you back to any location you would like to see again. She was VERY concerned that everyone was included, had a sampling, and was enjoying theirself which was a breath of fresh air.
Thank you! |

| This was the first time my husband and I did a food tour. We absolutely loved it and are now looking forward to doing the other tours! Our guide was very informative and had a wonderful personality. We didn't feel like we were on a typical tour, but rather more a part of an intimate gathering. |
