| We had a wonderful time on this tour. The food is fantastic, the neighborhood is easy to walk and the stories were terrific. We found some true gems including the Italian diary and pasta store. We even cancelled our original dinner reservations for that evening to eat at the Chef's Bar at one of the restaurants on the tour. This turned out to be our best meal and talking to the chef while he prepared meals was an experience we soon will not forget!
Group size was perfect and our guide was extremely knowledgeable and considerate.
Highly recommend you try this tour. |

| First of all, I was already excited about going on this tour because I am a hospitality person and wanted to experience something new and different...especially with people that love food. I was visiting a friend that lives in New York and we decided this would be a great thing for us to do together since I love food in general.
I was pleasantly surprised at the fact that Rahim (I think that was his name) had the same passion for food and the experience with it as much as I do. He was fantastic and I loved his way of conducting the tour. We also had the pleasure of attending it with Heather (another one of your guides). What a great time!
I loved the mixture of food, historic points, and music plugs. It really reached our group of people and you gave us a great view of the area. I didn't really want the tour to end. Oh and it was incredible to see the relationships you have built within the community that you visit. Like I said, being in the industry, I was impressed and loved every second of it.
To Rahim, thank you for a wonderful tour. My friend and I went to Bellavitae for dinner because of your recommendation and seeing the restaurant. The ricotta cheesecake and the panna cotta were to die for. We would not have known about it without you. You were great! Thanks for helping me find my passion for food a bit more. The foodie side of me loved it!
I will recommend this to anyone! |

| This is the 3rd food tour I have taken and have loved it just as much as the others (Greenwich tour and Meatpacking District). Rahim, our tour guide, was extremely enthusiastic. The food was wonderful (again, as usual) and even though it rained at times, it was well worth it. |

| This is our 3rd tour with foods of NY, and we brought 2 couples with us this time, and were all very pleased with the event.
Rahim, our guide, was so personable and knowledgeable. He was easy to understand and made sure we were safe and well fed.
The food is, as always, delicious, and it was an opportunity to try some foods we had never eaten before. And the history of the area was terrific as well.
We highly recommend this tour, and can't wait to go on the new Chinatown tour. |

| We really enjoyed this tour through Central Village. The food stops were well selected and there was a good balance between eating, listening and walking. Our guide showed us places to which we always would like to return. The food was excellent. We especially liked the Cuban restaurant and the place where we got smoked mozzarella (delicious!). We also got to know some nice places to go out in the evening. Next time we will try another one! Thanks, Ute and Christine |

| We were a group of 11 people who came to NY to celebrate a friend's 40th birthday. We wanted to do something a little different to accomodate a lot of different ages. We did the central village/soho tour. We learned a ton about the area. Our tour guide, Susan, really filled us in on a lot of the history of the area. Overall, we liked almost all the food. The spaghetti bolognese at Monte's was fabulous. We thought the dishes served at Cuba were fantastic!! The chocolate pear tart, homemade mozzerella, and homemade pepperoni were spectacular. There were mixed feelings about the potato wrap from Indian Bread. Some thought it was a little too spicy. However, we were lucky enough to be there when some fresh bread came out of the oven and that was superb!!! The only food that none of us liked was the "helluva" (I know I spelled that wrong!). It was sesame seeds with honey which formed a small piece of "candy." Honestly, not one of us liked it.
Overall, the tour gave us a great day and we learned a ton. There was A LOT of food offered and none of us were hungry for dinner. Word to the wise, don't eat a lot before you go. You really get a nice amount of food on the tour. |

| For the last 3 years I have tried these tours, personally I mostly liked Greenwich (for outdoor) and then secondly Chelsea market (mostly indoor). This tour was ok but compared to the two others I was a bit disapointed, there was enough food but to much of the same category and too much to eat the same place. Food was ok but not as exciting as the two others in my personal opionion, maybe it's better to try this first and then the others afterwards. Kind Regards from Eriksen, Cph. |

| Our Tour guide made the tour, he was so knowledgeable and gave so much history of the area, buildings and people who lived there. I think I would have liked more tastings as I have had on other tours with you.
But it was a wonderful experience and I would want the same guide again |
