| My wife and I most especially want to express our delight with our female guide. She knew so much about the history of the Village and made it so real for us with her personal experiences. Her personality was nothing less than exceptional. Since it started raining midway through the tour, she had to improvise to keep the weather from being a problem, which she did with a fair amount of skill. You are most fortunate to have this young lady on your staff (I think her name was Diana, but I am not sure).

| My friend and I visiting from Canada thoroughly enjoyed the tour, despite the rain. Rahim was exceptionally knowledgeable and personable, and all of the places visited were excellent.
I would recommend that participants check the weather forecast before coming, and bring an umbrella! |

| The tour was great!! Our tour guild was one of the best we've had yet! He was funny, and very knowledgable about the history of the area we were in! The food was amazing! Im so glad that we were able to try things "we wouldn't usually order." It really opens your eyes to all of the different types of food that are out there! We would highly recomend anyone going on this tour!! |

| The samples were very good. The tour was a little long since a third of the establishments do not participate in taste testing. I was impressed with the guide's knowledge of the history, architecture, and restaurants of this tour. |

| Particularly liked Raheem. He was informative and made everything come alive for us - the city, the foods, the area. We are telling all our friends! However, the foods gave us indigestion. Were a little on the spicy side for our 58 and 68 year old taste buds. But that said, we'd do it again in a heartbeat -- and probably will when we come back to NY. Raheem said you may take this international and if you do, sign us up to travel with you to wherever you go... |

| Our guide Diane met the nine of us at Cafe Del Mare, and led us on a very interesting and VERY tasty tour of the Village and SoHo. From the first stop at the India Bread Company to our last taste of Yogurt the day was a big hit. The history of the area was interspersed with stories of restaurants, cooks and various foods. It was most enjoyable. It allowed me to try foods I may never have and to make note of restaurants I wish to come back to.
Diane made it enjoyable and oh so interesting. All nine of us agreed that this is the way to get to know the area. I have been visiting NYC for over 30 years, but this tour has opened up a new part of the City to me. Your group is now bookmarked and we will be reserving for future food tours when we get to visit again.
Thanks so much for making a great weekend get together with a group of friends all the more special. |

| We enjoyed this activity. It was a very informative walk with a great deal of information about the area, its history, architecture, activities - past and present along with visits to many of the area restaurants and sampling the foods (that were all delicious).
The Tour leader was very knowledgeable, personable and helpful.
Thank you. I will be happy to recommend this tour and your organization to visitors in the area. |

| I'm sorry I can't remember the lady's name - friendly, enthusiastic, wearing a baseball cap. The tour exceeded my expectations - the history and info given was really interesting, the food was very nice and Greenwich Village was wonderful in the sunshine. Thank you. |
