| We did it with a group of seven. We all thought it was a lot of fun. We enjoyed every tasting and found the guide very knowledgable. We all agreed that it was the best cheesecake we ever had! Each stop was unique and quaint. I highly recommend it and know that next year we will do it again. |

| This tour was one of the highlights of our trip. Raheem's knowledge and enthusiasm combined with the delicious food made for a very excellent way to see a section of the city. I am a repeat customer and believe I was succesful in converting two new customers who had never been on a food tour. One of our group members is local to New York and learned several new places that he plans to revisit. I plan to try a new tour each time I get the opportunity to visit New York. |

| As a first time visitor to New York we were glad that a friend had recommended these food and culture tours. We did book online before our trip and would recommend doing so as we just managed to secure the last 4 places. We chose the Greenwich Village area as we were very much into Bob Dylan who lived there during our early teen years in the sixties. The food samples in various cuisines were all delicious and we did make a reservation for an evening meal at one of the Italian restaurants albeit we were staying in a hotel off Times Square. The tour also included visiting the Cafe Wha nightclub, it was a surreal moment for us as it appeared that nothing had changed there since the sixties. We also visited the club on the evening after dining at the restaurant nearby. We thought the resident band on the Sunday evening were brilliant and it was such a good atmosphere. |

| I have been to NY two years in a row and both times I started my trip off with a Foods of NY tour (last year Greenwich Village and this year Central Village & SOHO). I firmly believe that these tours set the most perfect atmosphere for your trip. I came away from the tour with getting a really good "feel" of the area that we visited... seeing clubs that influential musicians began in... seeing where multi-generational businesses have been making food for years... tasting food that is just awesome... and being taken care of... I just cannot explain it... I want to move to Greenwich Village after these tours and eat in these restaurants and go to these clubs - have them become a part of my life.
Rahim was our tour guide on this trip and he was fantastic. His knowledge of music, history, food and the neighbourhood was exceptional!
Thank you for providing this tour. I loved it. |

| Our Central Village & SOHO food & culture tour was one of the highlights of our trip to NYC. Our guide, Raheem, was so knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and charming. He had such great personal stories to tell about his experiences in the neighborhoods we visited. It was obvious that Raheem had a real connection to the area and that he loved his job. And we just loved learning about the Village and SOHO and sampling the food. I have told everyone here at home what a great experience this tour was and have told them that they must take one or more of these tours if they ever visit NYC. |

| 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. |
