| Not knowing what to expect, we had a wonderful time. Enjoyed the uniques eateries, history and architecture. Most of the places we visited were places we surely would not have visited on our own. In future visits we will now seek them out. We took the tour on the last day of our week-long vacation and if we had it to do over, we would have scheduled it earlier in the week. That way we would have had time to go back on other days and explore/experience more of the community and the food on own own. |

| This was one of our favorite parts of our most recent trip to NYC! Loved the food tastings paired with the rich history of the area and the people who have lived there. Our guide's passion for food was clear and we delighted in the stories which accompanied each location we visited! |

| I have been to Greenwich Village many times and have been on other tours of Greenwich Village as well as other neighborhoods in New York City and other parts of the country. This tour rates as one of the best of all the tours I have been on. It was the best tour of the Central Village. It was fun and educational and I learned a lot. There is only a maximum of 8 people allowed on this tour during the winter months, which makes the tour very intimate. The tour guide, Rahim, was knowledgable and passionate. The cafes, restaurants and shops we visited were interesting and all the food was enjoyable. |

| I have never been on a tour of this kind but I feel VERY confident I will never find a more enthusiastic, intelligent, and fun guide. I'd like him to take us around the whole city! When someone has a passion for their craft it is evident in their work and shines through in a way that enthralls those around them. I can't thank you enough. Mark |

| Rahim our group guide was excellent he was very knowledgeable and passionette about the area, the history different cultures and foods which abound. Our only regret was that we had not been able to do the tour earlier in our stay so that we could have gone back to some of the restaurants we were shown. Never the less we will now have the confidence to try them on our next visit to New York, when will will also be booking ourselves on the other tours available.
Thanks again for helping to make our first trip to New York such a great experience !

| we enjoyed the winter central village tour and guide, and moving into warm spaces to hear local history. the info and tastings were great...the only disappointment was the halva in the falafel shop. we were ushered past the roasting meat and had hoped to taste it. also the west village tour left us full from the many and good sized tastings, but some of the samples on central village tour were small. |

| We took the Grenwich Village tour in 2004 and would recomend that tour over this tour. It was explained before we left that the tour was altered slightly because it was cold that day. The tour was very enjoyable despite the changes.
Thanks

| ENTHUSIASTICALLY RECOMMEND!! Both my roommate and I agreed that this ranks the top when it comes to describing our favorite NY experiences! The tour guide was endlessly knowledgeable and it was a delight to learn so much detail about the neighborhood and culture of this area! Who knew the streets that I walk every day had such a story to them? The food was obviously a treat to be able to try so many varieties of food and feeling welcome in every establishment. My roommate even went out to one of the restaurants that evening and had an amazing time as well! We'll be trying one of the other stops tonight actually! Even the downpour rain didn't sour the experience because you have not really experienced NY until you've been caught in a downpour. Thanks for any amazing experience, I'll be sure to keep food tours of NY in my book as an activity for both locals and tourists alike. |

| Thank for a great tour. I enjoyed seeing so much variety in the village and Soho. Our tour guide was full of great info about the area. What a treat to see how smoked mozzarella is made and taste some of the best italian food. Can't wait to go back and explore again myself. I highly recommend this for anyone who likes food and a little history. |
