| Guide was very enthusiastic and gave great information on the history of the area.
Would have liked to have had better food on the tour and in a different order, third item on tour was a sweet, then afterwards a sandwich, another food item was dessert then followed by pizza. Could also have had more water to drink. |

| My husband and I love to take tours like this in cities that we visit for the first time; but living just across the river, we forget that so many wonderful opportunities are available right here in the tri-state area. Being able to visit an area of the city that is not only so rich in history but a celebration for your taste buds was a plus! We love finding eateries and shops that offer authentic dishes and merchandise. |

| We really enjoyed the tour. Our tour guide was both knowledgeable and pleasant. We found the history of the area very interesting and our guide added to it by sharing personal stories of her family who had lived in the area. We enjoyed the variety of restaurants and shops who provided tastings and really liked all the foods we tried. Our only disappointment was that we didn't have the time to purchase items at the restaurants and shops we stopped at, such as the peanut butter, homemade pastas, sausage, etc. Because the tour was spread out, retracing our steps to make these purchases afterwards would have been tiring and timely to do. If you could allow for a little extra time for purchases I'm sure it would be beneficial to all --we could take home some new found favorites and the shops would make a few extra sales for the day. We were so impressed with the tasting at Monty's that we returned there a few days later and enjoyed a fantastic dinner! This is our 2nd Foods of New York tour and we're looking forward to doing another on our next trip to NYC. |

| We had previously been on the Chelsea Market tour. After that great experience we often go to Chelsea Market when we're in NYC. The cultural aspect was terrific, there was more of it than in the Chelsea Market tour. Even the teenagers enjoyed it. We went back the next night for dinner at one of the restaurants -- we were too full to go the same night. Another great tour. |

| Great foods choices, some you would not think of trying like the filled rolled Indian Bread,delicious! The information about the village and Soho area was quite interesting! Wandering this area with a purpose will make future trips to the city and the Village even more fun. Many thanks to our tour guide Susan.
Have gone on two tours now with the same group of friends and will definetly do more in the future! How about some greek food tours!
Yummy and we want some more,

| This was our second tour, we did the Original Village tour two years ago. This time we (four sisters) took our husbands. We took the tour the first morning of our week long visit to New York and found ourselves back in the village to enjoy the resturants and shops many times during the week. Our husbands enjoyed the tour as much as we did. The food tours are one of our favorite activities because they are so informative and help us to feel at home in new areas of the city. |
