| This was a great tour - it was mostly Greenwich Village with a little bit of Soho at the end. The guide was very knowledgeable and the food was excellent. |

It Was O.K.

| Thought it was weak on really exploring the food of the Central Village (only two stops in SoHo). The leader was charming and reasonably well informed, but for us who are not real big music enthusiasts there was much too much discussion of musicians and music venues, more on the literary and visual arts would have been somewhat more satisfying for us. We enjoyed the food samplings, but thought there was a bit too much advertising for those restaurants.
I would recommend this tour with reservations. It was strongly recommended to us by friends. |

| The variety of tastes was excellent, and the order starting from appetizers to entree to desert was well-done. The guide's narrative about the Central Village was informative. I wish that when we were in the shops/restaurants where an owner or manager was present that the guide would let the owner/manager speak more. The guide gave a "commercial" for the establishment, which is OK, but I would have preferred to have heard directly from the owner/manager. This especially applies to Bellavitae. All in all it was a sucess and we will be back for more. |

| This is an great tour for visitiors to NY who do not consider themselves familiar with the area. If you live in Manhattan, chances are you've probably seen or experienced a lot of what is on the tour.
The food is definitely worthwhile but some of the "marketing" for the restaurants and clubs was a bit much i.e. suggestions to make reservations for this evening etc (although I understand the need to do this).
I would recommend this to visitors. |

| This is probably something I would bring out of town friends and family but still very good for me. Our tour guide was great. Learned a lot of interesting things about the area, the history...and seemed to know his restaurants (and food) pretty well. My only complaint (if any) was that we only visited a half dozen places to eat. The food was great though, wish I had more of an opportunity to sample some more of it....since it was all so good. |

| The tour was great. Just the ravioli at Raffeto's and the mozzarella at Joe's Diary pay the tour. It is a must do for a new yorker. |
