| Friend and I enjoyed the Central Village/SoHo tour. The three hours went by quickly. Our guide was entertaining and offered interesting stories about the neighborhoods. It is also a plus that he has patronized many of the establishments we visited. Food was varied with Indian, Middle Eastern, Italian, Cuban and French all represented. Everyone stated that they were well fed and enjoyed the various tastings which were served in adequate portions. Several people on our tour had taken other tours, such as the Greenwich Village one. They commented that our food was more ethnically diverse and we went inside more places rather than just standing outside on the sidewalk. Only criticism is that at times the advertising for some of the restaurants we visited was a bit too much. Curiously, one of the places the guide most recommended that we make reservations for was not among those offering even a tasting of its menu. Nonetheless, this is certainly a recommended NYCity activity. |

| First we were warmly greeted by our tour guide. We started on time and had a leisurely walk as he described the history of the area we were touring that day. I'm a native New Yorker, but have never explored Downtown. I couldn't believe all that I was missing! All the restaurants, stores and clubs that we visited were terrific, as was the food that we sampled from each. I thought that the samples were going to be small, but each sample was a good sized portion. If there were any leftovers, we were offered to take more. By the time the tour was over, I was stuffed and there was no need for dinner. One person in our group was a vegeterian, and accomadations were made at the stops that were meat related, which was very nice. We walked through and learned the history behind Washington Square Park, which was very interesting. I've seen pictures, but have never been there.
Our tour guide was very outgoing, funny, personable and knowledgable. If I did another tour, I would definitely want him.
My friends and I had a terrific time and can't want to come back to shop, eat and explore some more!
Thanks! |

| 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. |

| 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. |
