| Excellent event. Guide was extremely knowledgable. It is a great way to see a unique NY neighbourhood and sample food along the way. My only suggesiton for improvement would be to add more places for the food tastings. |

| The cultural and food tour of the central Village and SOHO was very enjoyable - for all of the members of our family. I would recommend this tour to others interested in the history of this part of NYC and "snacking" along the way. Susan - our tour guide - was knowledgable and was very sincere in sharing her love for the area and related extremely well to the individuals in the tour group. Thank you for a wonderful tour. |

| We loved our guide, Raheen, who was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about our tour of Greenwich and Soho.
The food we tasted was interesting and varied - from Indian to Middle Eastern, amazing cheeses and a terrific pasta shop. We have passed on the tour details to friends who live in New York and recommend they take part - they will learn a lot of about the village, its history, architecture and the people (famous or infamous) who have lived there.
The list we were given was helpful, with full description and address, phone numbers etc - we later went back and had dinner at one of the restaurants (twice) and a drink at one of the small cafes.
A great start to our stay in New York

| My brother and I sent our mother and his godmother as a Mother's Day present. It was a huge hit. Both women love trying new resturants and found the selections excellent. They told us that one place was better than the next. The best part was they learned history about New York that after 47 years living here they did not know.
They are even thinking of brining some friends on one of the tours when they arrive from out of state in September.
Highly recommend for tourists and locals! |

Thank you.. |

| Good mix of food shops and establishments. Lots of background information on the development of the area both culturally and culinary provided by guide on each place visited. Saw how ethnic food has been adapted to NY style. The variety of food samples provided were of suitable strength to stimulate the palate and encourage you to visit on your own to experience the full range of flavours and dishes on offer.
Well worth doing and you get plenty of food so that another stop for lunch is not required. |

Choose the Greenwich Village Tour instead

| I took the Greenwich Village tour and loved it, the neighborhood and all the food samples. I could not wait to do this tour and discover a new area. The guide was a female, whose name I cant remember. She spoke very softly for a city that is very loud. Still she knew the area very well. The samples were not as good as the other tour. First we got half an Indian type of potatoe burrito from Indian Bread co which was yummy. Next a sit down tasting of gnocci at Monte's which was great. Then we tried some tiny piece of sweet thing that was the size of your fingernail. After that we went an hour without any food, and we had come hungry as this would be our lunch for $47 a person. Finally we got a 1/4 of a peanut butter sandwich with sliced chicken, and a shot glass size of rootbeer, and shared a child size bag of chips between 6 people... and 4 carrot mini sticks shared. I would go back to PB Co. Then some smoked mozarella slice and a slice of sausage from Joe's Dairy and Pino's meat market, which were not out of the ordinary. Last was granddaisy which was a potatoe bread which was awesome, but we alread had started with Potatoe roll at the Indian bread, and potatoe gnocci. The guide was a little rude to us because we had an infant who was cooing and babbling so she asked us to stay behind the rest of the group, but everyone there told us the baby did not bother them. That aside, I still thought the whole experience on the original tour was so much better planned out, and a nicer neighborhood. I took my family to this one, but wish I had gone back to the original. I would not recommend this particular tour for the price, we could have had a great lunch. |
