| Our Village food tour with "Rav" (?) was so much more than I had anticipated. He was well informed and made the Village and its many shops come alive. We not only visited interesting and amazingly tasty ethnic food shops but learned so much history of the Village itself. I guess the highlight for me was the cheese shop where we tasted fresh hickory smoked mozzarella. I would recommend this tour for anyone who enjoys eating - including New Yorkers! Looking forward to our next trip to NYC and another tour! |

| i HIGHLY recommend taking this tour. We were lucky enough to have two tour guides that day, Raheem was the best of the two, the other lady, (I forget her name) was ok, but she had a harder time keeping my attention. The restaurants we sampled from were FABULOUS!! My children, ages 16, 11 and 9 thought it was fun and liked Monte's the best. Prepare to walk in rain or shine with comfy shoes. It was GREAT!!

| We had gone on the original Greenwich Village tour and enjoyed it tremendously. Decided to go on this one because it picked up where first one left off. We enjoyed it. If you are only doing one tour, I would do the original. |

| Rahim was our tour guide and he was fantastic. Clearly knowledgeable and definitely came off like a pro, even though he'd only been doing this a few months. Also, he has a great relshp with the food vendors in the neighborhood, so it was really great to see that there are real people behind these establishments! Places we went to were great, as was the food at each. It was a good amount of food (not too much, not too little, fairly well spaced-out).
My only critique would be that it would be even better to make it a slightly smaller group (like a group of 10-12) so that we would be able to actually physically go in to some of these places (we got to go into some, but not all).
Otherwise, food tour was great, and I am definitely considering going on another. And kudos to Rahim - he was fabulous! |

| We had a wonderful time on this tour. The food is fantastic, the neighborhood is easy to walk and the stories were terrific. We found some true gems including the Italian diary and pasta store. We even cancelled our original dinner reservations for that evening to eat at the Chef's Bar at one of the restaurants on the tour. This turned out to be our best meal and talking to the chef while he prepared meals was an experience we soon will not forget!
Group size was perfect and our guide was extremely knowledgeable and considerate.
Highly recommend you try this tour. |

| This was such a great idea. We were able to walk the sides streets of New York and enjoy a wide varitey of foods. One tip I have is that you should come prepared for the weather. Most of the tour takes place outside, and on they day we went, it was pouring rain. Even with an umbrella and hood, we were drenched by the end of the tour. So, if you know the weather is going to be bad...bring your best rain gear. |

| My daughter and her family were visiting from Ohio for the holiday weekend and we ussually plan some activity for them to do in NYC. My neighbors told me about the "Walking Tours" and how great they are so we tried it . We will certainly do it again and will try the other tours.
Our tour guide was Raheem and he did a very nice job; pleasant and personable.
