| We have been on a few Foods of NY tours, and this was by far the best. Our tour guide was a true foodie, but wasn't a food snob...which is hard to come by. He was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the food, the restaurants and the surrounding area. We have already made reservations to return to two of the places on the tour. |

| We enjoyed the walks around the neighborhood and especially the two sit down places. One of them Montes, we came back for dinner the same night. Even with a tour book there is no way we could have managed on our own. Two of the sit downs we had a room to ourselves. |

| This tour was exciting for both the locals and out-of-towners in our group. Although most of us were familiar with many restaurants in the Central Village we were introduced to 7 new, spectacular places! Three hours is a sufficient amount of time, and the amount of food was perfect.
I will definitely return to the places that we were introduced to...the best part was going inside someplace that looked like an abandoned building and being shocked by an elegant and unique interior! I never would have found some of these places on my own.
I also liked it because I was visiting with college friends (who I only see a few times a year) and we got to participate in a fun activity and talk to each other at the same time. We all learned new things about the neighborhoods, about architecture, and also got to catch up and share some laughs! |

| the walk, the food, the people, all excellent and a great way to see a part of NY that you wouldn't normally get to visit......BUT what really makes the day special is Raheem the tour host and guide, he is brilliant ! He made the whole thing interesting and exciting, full of wit and humour and packed with local knowledge, all my family felt entertained, newly cultured and totally stuffed !! Thanks. |

| Four of us had five days in New York, and we hadn't been for quite a few years. Collectively we love cities, love to know about the areas we are visiting, enjoy personal tours and love to try different foods. This tour was the perfect mix of everything - - the food fun and very appealing, the guide personable, helpful and interesting. We would do this again! |

| Rahime was a fabulous guide - with enthusiasm and fabulous local knowlege mixed with history, architecture, celebrity anecdotes...not to mention the food! I loved this tour and cannot praise it enough. You get to see and experience NYC the way the locals do. Can't wait to go back to some of the places Rahime recommended. |

| This is the second "foodie" tour we've taken with you, and both were great. This Central Village/Soho tour was beyond our expectations. Rashid was our host and did quite an amazing job informing, amusing, and increasing our enjoyment of the various food tastings. The variety of foods was impressive - Italian, Cuban, specialty desserts - and don't plan on dinner that evening. We were also delighted with the history of the area that Rashid imparted on our walking tour. The area is rich is architectural and pop history, all of which Rashid delivered in a fun and personable way. We had invited a New Yorker as our guest, and she was most impressed! We also were given information about shops and restaurants that were not strictly on the tour. My husband and I returned to The Village the next day, and felt perfectly acclimated and comfortable wandering the area. We went to Cafe Minetta for lunch which was a treat! Add that to your list to visit; the restaurant is cozy, food and service quite exceptional. We will certainly plan another outing when next in New York. Thank you for the excellently planned tour and for providing such knowledgeable and fun tour guides! |
