| Four of us went on the SoHo/Greenwich Village tour, expecting to visit 8 sites and sample food. WRONG!! We were in for the treat of a lifetime with our guide, Raheem. For over three hours we walked the streets of Greenwich Village and SoHo and learned history, architecture, culture, and all the hints of where to go, when to go, and what is special. As I feverishly took notes, I tried to mentally plan when we could come back for a few days so I could take advantage of the night time jazz and music scene, re-eat all the foods on the tour, and dine in the other restaurants we passed. We were given so much more on this tour than we expected. . .both in food for the body and food for the soul!! And by the way, the foods on the tour were a true treat, and we did return that evening to eat at one of the establishments we had visited. We were very warmly welcomed. All in all, I would highly recommend this tour, and try to choose a glorious April Saturday like we did!! |

| An amazing tour of the area -- combination of history, culture, architecture and, most important -- great food. Our guide was not only knowledgable about the food and area, he was passionate about it. This is something I would recommend to anyone traveling to NYC. |

| Raheem our guide did an outstanding job! I have been on the Chelsea Market and Greenwich Village tour and enjoyed both very much, but Raheem made this trip! His knowledge of the area was unbelievable. The food was also interesting, but the information on the area was definitely the best part of the tour. |

| Raheen is quite loquacious and full of quirky details about the Village and Soho. The spicey peanut butter was "WOW". |

| We thoroughly enjoyed the tour...the great picks for food sampling, the wonderful tidbits of information about the neighborhood, the guide's obvious appreciation for, and personal history with, the area. This walking tour is the best way to see, hear, touch, smell and taste the neighborhood...to soak it all in.
Only suggestions would be to try harder to end on time and be able to give quick directions to the nearest subway, trains, etc., especially since the tour didn't end where it began. |

| I really liked the tour. Next time I visit ny, I want to stay in the village. The tour gave me knowledge of the area and sparked my interest to really be there and get to know all the places, the guide reviewed, on my own. I like that now I know where to go. Also, the food and the historical information was great. |
