| This is a must to do if you are in New York. Lots of "local" information and great food. Our guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining, lots of fun. It gives you a good feel for NY community in the 'burbs'. |

| This was a great way to get to know the neighourhood and get tips on places to eat. We ended up going back to one of the restaurants on our tour for dinner the next day and were not disappointed.
We were surprised how generous the food portions were. Definitely go on this tour hungry. The food was terrific and the restaurant owners/staff were friendly and welcoming.
We're looking forward to booking another tour the next time we come to New York. Thanks for a great experience. |

| Susan was a wonderful guide, such a pleasure to be around and very eager to help.
Food was excellent- perhaps better if it had been done in order (put all the dessert at the end). Plenty of food, good food, except the pasta- very average. Everything else was outstanding expecially indian, ricotta cheesecake etc.
Good venue, great architectural history and loved all the inside info |

| I recently did the Greenwich/SoHo tour led by Susan. She was terrific! A native New Yorker, she is passionate about her city and its many fabulous foodie finds. She did a great job describing in fascinating detail the history and present state of the Village food scene. The restaurants and cafes on the itinerary were all superb - it was nearly overwhelming. The food was delicious and each place was thoughtfully chosen for its historical and cultural significance to the neighborhood.
Susan was also great at ensuring that everyone's needs were met throughout the tour and that we were enjoying ourselves. Overall, she was a great group facilitator and tour guide.
At the conclusion of the tour I felt like I had gained such an inside perspective into the Village far beyond just the food scene. It was hard to believe that I saw and learned so much in only three hours. I felt like a local by the end of it. This was an amazing way to become closely familiar with one of NYC's incredible neighborhoods. I will definitely check out a different tour on my next trip. Keep up the super work! |

| This was a great thing to do in NYC. Our guide was excellent--very knowledgeable and personable. We went to various restaurants and a couple of shops. The food we had was delicious. The tour was 3 hours, and the pace was just right. I was pleased with the information the guide gave about the area (history and miscellaneous info). We were introduced to restaurants and shops we might otherwise have passed by.
I highly recommend this tour (Greenwich Village/SoHo). |

| This was my third trip to New York and I wanted to do something a little different this time. This tour met all my expectations and more. Our guide was Susan and she was very knowledgable of the area - the history and all the restaurants. For a walking tour, it was very very easy - any one could do this.
The restaurants and food shops were outstanding - cheese cake at "Bellavitae" was unbeleivable -need to find that receipe.
I highly recommend this tour - great value for your money. Many thanks to Susan - you are a great guide!

| This tour is fantastic and gives you a great overview of the Greenwich and SoHo neighbourhoods. I really wished I had done the tour on the first day of my trip to NYC as I discovered so many great restaurants and cafes that I wanted to go back to for a full meal. The guide was very informative, the food sampling was generous and varied cuisines, and the distance covered on the walking tour gave you a nice insight into the neighbourhood. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys great food and is adventuresome with different ethnic dishes. You also discover some great gourmet food stores/bakeries if you are looking to cook at home or take items home with you. |

| Nancy our guide was fantastic. Very warm and friendly, yet she kept us on track and gave us a lot of information about the area. Her selection of restaurants and stores along with the food choices were great. The pace of the tour was good for both the family with children as well as the older folks. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get their bearings in Greenwich Village as well as finding out about some wonderful restaurants that you would normally not even consider. The tour was worth every penny. We are already looking for a tour to take next year on our 2010 sojourn to NYC. |

| It's nice to know that people exist out there that are so enthusiastic and passionate with their work. That's how I'd describe our guide on our walking tour. Full of information, great stories and passionate about the city he lives in. |

| A friend of mine recommended this walking food tour, and I'm incredibly glad I decided to do it. Our guide (Susan) was a wealth of knowledge of both the area of SoHo / Greenwich as well as the establishments which we visited. I was surprised on both the quality and the quantity of food we were offered during out tour - I didn't even need to eat dinner that night! Overall I would say the combination of the value of the food as well as the great historical perspective of the area made this by far the best deal in NYC.
I would definitely recommend the tour and would love to take others offered as well, such as the China town tour. |
