| I had gone on the West Village tour in January, and I enjoyed this one even more. There seemed to be more food on this one, and more substance to the samples. The only one we didn't partcularly enjoy was the halvah. Our tour guide, Rahim, was very interesting and knew his stuff. Great mix of food and history. We'd both highly recommend this tour! |

| Our family took the tour of Soho & Greenwich Village with Rahim, and it was absolutely great! Lots on interesting history of the locale, shops & restaurants, met really nice people and had LOTS of food to try! We returned to several shops to take items home - such as the smoked mozzarella, italian sausages & fresh pasta. Worth every penny - highly recommended! |

| Rahim was an excellent tour guide, very enthusiastic and knowledgeable! We stopped at 5 places, all the food was amazing and portion sizes were surprising (a lot bigger than some of the other tours). This was definitely a highlight of our trip to NYC! |

| We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The idea of pairing food tasting with a history of the area is innovative. Handouts are useful. A route map of the tour area with venues numbered, and included in the handout would have made returning to them easier.
The Cuban, Italian and Indian foods were marvellous. The middle eastern place fobbed us off with non perishable sweets, instead of something fresh and interesting. Not that the halvah wasn't good, it just didn't require any immediate effort.
I think we would have enjoyed a few more items of exotic food to taste, and more opportunity to sit down and taste the food. 3 hours can get very wearing on the feet. Also it is more interesting to go inside the restaurant rather than hang about outside it. At points, we got the impression that participating businesses weren't very interested in the venture. We are not likely to go back to places who are not interested in their potential customers.
But on the whole, it was a great experience, and a fun way to discover a part of NYC. |

| Would definitely reccomend to 1st time visitors. Our tour of Greenwich Village/SoHo included hisorical info of the buildings and area, impact of current events as well as food tastings. Well paced and definitely worth the money. Groups were small enough to be able to hear everything and ask questions if desired. Did return to one of the restaurants for an average dinner, but would try a different one on my next visit. |

| Our tour guide, Rahim was great! He was so knowledgeable about the area and all of the stops we made. He was very enthusiastic and I highly recommend this tour. Ask for Rahim for your tour. |
