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

While I throughly enjoyed this tour, I would have liked to have spent more time learning more about the food and culinary aspects of the Village. The cultural information was very useful, but I'd have preferred to have stopped at more cafes, restaurants and eateries.
Overall an excellent tour. We look forward to coming back to try another one like it. |

This is the 2nd time I have been on one of these tours, last time it was the Greenwich Village tour, and it is worth every penny. I recommend you doing the tour at the beginning of your trip so that you know some great places to go, which days are the best, know about prices, and reservations if necessary. The tour guide, Barry, was very friendly and knowledgeable. You get a good amount of food and historical information about each location and the city as well. I highly recommend this tour, it was a lot of fun. |

The guide was informative both of the history of the surrounding area and the attractions. He kept us moving at a steady but not to fast pace. The food was great and we discovered a lot of new restuarants and shops to visit in the future. Many of my co-workers and friends were surprised and the reasonable cost and the small group. I came back with rave reviews of the experience and will definitely try the other tours! |

The food was excellent and the guide was very interesting. He had a lot of knowledge about the history, culture and architecture of the area. |

Heavy on culture, a bit light on food |

We enjoyed the Central Village/SoHo Food tour. It was great to see all the foody hidden spots, especially for someone who goes downtown only for the bars. It was a bid redundant going through the culture of the Village, especially the NYU bashing...we all do it, so move on. But when we did focus on food, the samples were great and a lot of places that could easily be passed by were highlighted.

I thought the guide was very knowledgeable and the food choices were very good. This is my second tour and I like that it is small groups. This guide was courteous and certainly good, but not "warm and fuzzy". A little stand-offish. And perhaps that is intended. |

Enthusiastic and consise |

What a great afternoon. Luckily a few people didn't turn up so the group was smaller than usual, which meant we could hear the very knowledgable guide (Rahim) easier and got seconds of the delicious food samples which were available! Was a good way of introducing folks to an area they had little or no knowledge of. Thanks for an entertaining afternoon. |
