| This tour combined all the elements of an incredibly engaging, experiential, hands-on tour! We not only learned the history of the area but experienced first hand the tastes, smells and sights of home-grown restaurants and shop owners in Central Village and SoHo. What could be better than tasting hand-made cheese on the sidewalk and sampling fine cured meats from a shop across the street? I can't wait to experience another culinary tour in NYC. This was by far the most memorable part of my week. I have returned to Galway, Ireland with fond memories. |

| This one was just as enjoyable as the others, with an extremely knowledgeable and friendly guide. I love the history of the neighborhoods, more than the tastings actually, and would (have) recommended these tours to locals as well as tourists. More than well worth the time and price!!! |

| the tour leader wsa very friendly and informative, the tour covered a lot of added history about the area that was much appreciated! there wasnt as much tasting as ive had at other tours but the places we ate at were fantastic. the only thing i wish could be added is a handout to go along with the tour sites with some of the information reviewed on the tour, since there is so much good info and not enough memory in my brain to catch it all! I plan to take the chinatown tour in the summer! thank you! |

Liked it a lot!

| Raheem, the tour guide, was very interesting and informative.
The food was really nice. I don't eat pork, so he substituted one of the tasting for me. One stop was a sausage store so no substitution there.. Be aware of that if you have any food restriction..Overall, great experience.
I took the Grinch Village as well, comparing both, I liked the Grinch more, but I think it just my personal taste, cause both were very interesting and tasting! |

| This was our second food tour in NYC - although the weather wasn't great (raining), we had a great time. The food samples were tasty and the tour guide was humorous and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this tour if you are looking for an informative tour of the central village/SOHO area with the bonus of some tasty treats along the way. |

| Even though it was coldish and drizzling rain, we thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
Raheem was very personable and knowledgeable, sharing history and insights about the area. The food tastings were really good, giving you a diverse sampling of some of the foods available in this area. It was a really good way to see a part of the "real" New York. We look forward to going on the other tours on our next visit to New York. |

| I was with my granddaughter 19 years old and she enjoyed as much if not more than I did. Our guide was very informative, funny and charming and willing to answer any question posed to him. We learned the history of the area and went back that night to dine at the Italian restaurant that we were introduced to during our tour. We saw areas of the City that we would have otherwise not seen. Wonderful and a must do when visiting New York. |

| Excellent event. Guide was extremely knowledgable. It is a great way to see a unique NY neighbourhood and sample food along the way. My only suggesiton for improvement would be to add more places for the food tastings. |

| We have taken the other FONY tours of SOHO and Chelsea and have enjoyed them immensly. The Central Village tour we took this past weekend did not dissappoint. Raheem the guide was personable, knowledgeable, and thoroughly enjoyable. If you are not planning any new NYC tours, we'll just have to consider repeating. |
