| This was a good tour. We had a passionate guide (Raheem) who knew his stuff and it showed. The tastings we plentiful and enough that at the end of the tour you were satisfied. The tour gave a good overview of the area historically and food wise. Definately not time wasted. |

A great intro to the Village

| This was our first day ever in New York and we wanted to get a feel of the 'real' streets and a bit of history and background. We found the whole tour well organized, friendly and informal. Our guide (Barri) knew her stuff and was enthusiastic about the Village. Not too much heavy info and well timed tastings of loads of really interesting and different food. The handout about places to eat was really useful. All in all I would say it was well balanced and good value. |

| Diane lead us on a tour that told us as much about the history of Greenwich Village as about the foods we sampled. A knowledge local guide who maintained an enthusiatic commentary throughout the fascinating three hour tour. It was one of the highlights of my week in New York
Thank you |

| Good mix of food shops and establishments. Lots of background information on the development of the area both culturally and culinary provided by guide on each place visited. Saw how ethnic food has been adapted to NY style. The variety of food samples provided were of suitable strength to stimulate the palate and encourage you to visit on your own to experience the full range of flavours and dishes on offer.
Well worth doing and you get plenty of food so that another stop for lunch is not required. |

| I can't recommend this enough, the tour was fascinating and the food delicious. It really gives you a lot more than just walking around by yourself. The guide was excellent. We'll be doing the classic tour next time we're in NYC. |

| We learned some general information about the area (cultural, historical, etc.) and how it came to be, as well as sampling some fantastic food along the way. I would have found it helpful and interesting to learn more details about the history of the area. Our tour guides were very cheerful and enthusiastic, and showed the utmost respect and pride for their neighbourhood. My only misgiving is that we didn't do the tour at the beginning of our trip, because I would have loved to have visited some of the restaurants that we learned about during our tour. |

| We were lucky with the weather for this walking tour. The food from the places visited on the tour were fantastic my only criticism would be that when visiting the shops ie pasta and cheese producers we were able to go inside to see the food being made but we did not really see anything or get to see the producers maybe ask questions, it would have been nice but i appreciated that they were working and had customers in store. Great way to explore the Greenwich/Soho area of New York on a summers day. Thankyou |

| hi,
it was raining on the day I made the tour, but we got long ponchos and so it was really okay.
The tour was interesting, you get to know different shops, restaurants and bars and also where people had been living.
The snacks are delicious and afterwards you do not need to buy anything, because you are full.
I would recommend to eat something for breakfast, because the quantity of food you get is like a normal lunch (european way) |

| We did not know what to expect on this food tour - having done nothing like it before .... we went into it with some trepidation. But the whole tour, the information, the style, the enthusiasm (to name but a few) made it a great experience. We had been to NYC before but, now feel like we really know a small corner in a hell of a lot of detail and can recommend to our British friends who come to visit your city. Great Stuff!! |

| We really enjoyed our tour. We have been wanting to do this for the past few years & were not disappointed! The tasting was great but the weather was hot! There is something for everyone, although everyone will not enjoy everything. I personally love that area of New York best & wanted to show my friend so it was a good way to find out more information & history of Soho & Greenwich, as well as experience some very different food. I told a travel agent friend of mine to suggest it to her customers who intend to visit New York. It would have been nice to have time to stop for a drink along the way (at our cost), especially in the summer. Our guide was great! Thanks for a great time. |
