| Good variety of food. Great restaurants - we plan on going back to most of them. What was fantastic is hearing the owners/chefs of restaurant and speak and answering questions. More than enough food provided on the tour - but it was all wonderful. There were vegetarians in our group that were really well catered for - all places provided equal (or better!) alternatives - even at the butcher. It was great having the break in the middle with lots of walking. Wonderful history of the area - and the added movie and television references just added to the tour. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. The tour also oriented us in a very unfamiliar area. The bakery was a wonderful way to end the tour(probably the best stop!) - we remained behind for coffee. Highly recommended - a must if visiting New York. |

| Our tour guide Susan was very informative and knowlegable. The best stop was the first one and that was the Indian restaurant. I will definitely be back to Aamchi Pao. Do not eat anything before the tour because you get a lot of food. |

| Upon the recommendation of a friend, I booked the Greenwich Village/Soho tour for my husband and myself for our first day in New York. It's been 30 years since I visited New York, and we had just 3 days to feel the rhythm of the city. Our tour was terrifuc, owing to the knowledge and enthusiasm of our guide. (I believe his name is Rahim, a charming young man.) His knowledge of the neighborhoods, his appreciation of the history, and his love of the food made our visit to the area such a pleasure. Thank you for treating us tourists to such a pleasurable experience. |

| rahmin was our guide and he was excellent!
the food was all scrumptious and couldn't have been better
we felt the pit stops where we didn't eat could have been a little shorter as we ran a lttle late
the cuban restaurant was a little rushed as we ordered mojitos and had to gulp down (but was worth it)
i'm looking forward to taking your other tours, especially the sushi
unfortunately, the standing only tours may be too much for us |

| This tour was wonderful . I booked it with some hesitation because I was afraid I would not like ethnic type food. Was I wrong!!! The food was great and our tour guide, Susan, was terrific. She was very knowledgeable about the Village and Soho, and lots of fun to be with. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to have some fun, learn, and especially EAT. |

| The guide was friendly and informative. The food was absolutely delicious and we are from New Orleans where they have a lot good food. I would recommend this food tour to others. We also went on the West Village food tour two years ago. It was equally as good. |

| Our tour guide was terrific. He gave us such an informative guide about the neighborhood, the restaurants, the food they served and what to expect when and if we decided to choose to eat at that establishment.. The portions that we received at each restaurant was more than enough to make a refined review of the food we tasted. The entire tour was outstanding. I would do it again in a heartbeat! |

| My husband and I love NYC and love all the food options, but always feel a bit overwhelmed by the variety and number of choices. To help us discover "authentic" restaurants and learn more about the city, we decided to take the Central Village/SoHo tour. Rahim was our amazing tour guide! He was interesting, helpful, extremely enthusiastic, very knowledgeable, and appropriately friendly. We enjoyed 8 food tastings that covered a nice range of ethnic foods--Indian "street" food, incredibly fresh smoked mozzarella, homemade pasta, sausage, a chicken and beef Cuban empanada, delicious cheese cake (which I normally dislike), and a pear and chocolate tart. We also learned a lot about neighborhood history, including "celeb" bohemian, folk artists who gave the neighborhood its character as well as comedy and music clubs that are popular today. My husband and I are already trying to agree on which food tour to do next. I cannot recommend this tour enough!! |
