| Our guide, Raheen (sp?) was extremely knowlegeable about the neighborhood and the food. The best way to be introduced to an area. We learned so much more than about restaurants and food--history, culture, people. Be prepared to do a bit of walking, a good 3 hours plus. We went back to at least 3 places we visited. |

| Our group all really enjoyed this tour. Recommended as a great way to get to know an area, make new friends and taste some local delicacies. Our tour guide was enthusiastic, entertaining and knew his subject. Indeed, we all loved Greenwich so much by the end of the tour it will be our No.1 place to stay when we next visit NYC. |

| Our tour guide was Rahim; he was just great, very knowledgeable about not only the history of Soho and Greenwich, but the local food. He was very enthusiastic and provided a lot of interesting detail about the sites that we visited, as well as anecdotal stories from his personal life. Rahim's love of food is apparent, and he brought us around to wonderful places that we would never have discovered on our own. His knowledge of how the different cultural foods are prepared was great, and we really enjoyed getting a glimpse of how some of the older food establishments have managed to remain viable over the years. The gnocchi in tomato sauce at Monty's was incredible... best I've ever tasted! Thanks Rahim!! |

| We were return clients, having taken the original Greenich Village tour, which we loved. On the Central/Soho tour, we found that the samples were smaller and less inspired, and oddly were introduced to several vendors whose food was described in glowing terms but then we never got samples of their fare. Nothing less interesting than descriptions of good food! |

| The guide was outgoing, knowlwdgable and freindly, although somehat opinionated about local politics and community issues. Although a very good tour for me, my spouse did not like some of the food tasted such as the smoked mzzarella cheese. Overall avery good experience and an excellent manner to learn more about the city noeighborhoods. We would do this again! |

| Raheim was our guide. What a great guy and very knowledgable. Raheim had some BIG shoes to fill. Our other guide has been Cindy, who was wonderful as well!
We recommend these tours without a question!
Thanks for being in business and continued success to you all.

| Great food! We were able to sample food from other countries (i.e. Indian, Greek, Italian, Middle Eastern). The tour was interesting and tour guide was very knowledgeable. We were looking forward to the Israeli and Jamaican food as described in the tour info, but for some unexplained reason we never got to sample these foods. We would like to recommend that tour ends where it starts. It was a bit confusing to get back to our subway station afterwards. We did not enjoy this tour as much as the Greenwich Village food tour which we took last year. Bleecker Street Pizza remains our all time New York pizza favorite!!!! |

Everyone showed up for the walking tour of Soho and central village and it was pouring rain and windy.Rajim our guide was interesting and informative. He tried to get us inside our tour stops to let us eat inside as much as possible. It was very good and enjoyable despite the weather. My recommendation is maybe a couple more eating spots, just don't tell us about how good the food is at certain places but let us sample them. My first tour of Grenwich Village we had 11 different eating places. Next I was at the Market area and that was 9 or 10 so a couple more would make it perfect, cause there was quite a span between eatries at the latter part of the tour but overall it was informative and interesting and I will definitely book for the 2 new tours. Japanese Tapas and Shisii. |
