| This was our second Foods of NY tour and it met our high expectations. Loved the guide, the stops and the information provided. A fantastic way to experience the city for tourists. |

| Our guide Suzy knows more about New York, and the Village in particular, than do many lifelong residents. Her knowledge and presentation made information I have read about come alive.
The tastings were abundant, well-chosen, and simply delicious. I will be booking a tour again next year, and spending time and money comfortably in the Village because of this superb and tasty tour. |

Boring, dull, not worth the time or money.

| The tour started out at a restaurant that was closed due to a robbery that happened over night. Some communication between the restaurant and the tour company could have prevented us from even going to Indian Bread and then having to waste time while the tour guide figured out what to do.
The tour guide certainly could have known her history, but she was more concerned with telling stories about her Mother and her child hood that I just zoned her out.
There tour was suppose to be humorous, it wasn’t.
1-1/2 hours into the tour (and only two food samplings), we could not take the pain any longer. We left and headed to Canal St.
An absolute waste of time and money. |

| The guide, Susan, was wonderful. She was extremely knowledgable and enthusiastic about the area. The food was great; we were not hungry for dinner for many hours after the tour. On the day of our tour the Indian Bread Co. had unfortunately experienced a robbery and so could not be a part of the tour. Susan handled this with great courtesy and tact and the owner met us later on in the tour with samples to replace what we would have received at the Bread Co. This was the epitamy of great service. We will most certainly book the other Greenwich tour when we return to New York based on our enjoyment of this tour and Susan's recommendation. |

| My husband and I enjoyed ourselves enormously on this tour. The food, although plentiful and fun was incidental to our enjoyment of hearing the history and facts that related to the areas we visited.
Our guide knew his stuff and presented the tour at a pace that suited the group we were with. Three hours is a long time and although by the end we were both tired we went away with some great ideas and suggestions to our family who actually live locally.
I would say though if the weather is hot, hot, hot as it can be in NYC at this time this tour could be fairly difficult and uncomfortable. Those who get tired easily or who find standing for long periods of time won't particularly enjoy this as it is all standing.
In conclusion, I found this good value for money and a great way to see new areas of the city. |

| We really enjoyed our tour despite the weather. All the stops had great tastes. We plan to return to several places on our next trip to the Big Apple. Take a bite. |

| A group of us ages 25-30 went on this tour, mix of guys and gals. Some neat background given about the village and SoHo, but it should be stated that this is a food tasting tour rather than just a food tour, because we were still quite hungry after the 3 hrs. Like another review, this could have been done in 2 hrs, by the time the 2nd hour was over we were pretty much ready to go. More food less talking would have been nicer. Overall it was alright. Maybe locals would enjoy the history more. |

| My boyfriend and I live in New York City and we love to try new food, so this was an exciting event for us to check out an area that we do not often frequent. The guide was knowledgeable, entertaining and approachable. The food was inventive and authentic, I didn't really taste anything I had tasted before. The walk was nice with thorough, historic information every step of the way from the guide. We have decided to return to many of these locations again for a full meal, and actually after the tour, we went back to most of them and bought a little bag of food from each store! |

| The 3 hour food tour with Rahim our guide was enjoyable. He was funny and articulate. The tour not only introduces some of the best restaurants in town but also history about the area. This is a good value for money and I would recommend to anyone who loves food. We have indeed visited a few places the tour covered which were not recommended by any printed guidebooks. |
