| The guide was very knowledgable of the area. As I am a semi-local (from Long Island) I will be back to try a few of the restaurants that we visited. |

We loved the food and the insight was priceless.

| It was great to get the history of the area and the people who make the food. The guide,Berry. was great and had a ture knowledge and love of the area .She relayed how the neighberhood worked together to create an enviroemnt where you would like to live and keep values of the past. Teenagers would not like this tour as much as adults would.

| This was one of the highlights of our NYC trip. It provided me with the history of the area, safety in the crowd and the opportunity to try some things which I would have never had the opportunity to try with our limited stay. |

| My boyfriend and I are always looking for new and interesting places to dine. THis tour was great in pointing out new places with different menu options. The tour guide was very pleasant and upbeat. The food itself was good, although I can't say it was amazing. I wasn't impressed with the locations highlighted in the tour. I feel that maybe, because there was so much more that could have been discussed and too little time, the topics weren't too interesting. There were a lot of places the guide recommended that were not stops in the tasting. They sounded much more enticing and I feel a little cheated that they were not included. I would definitely recommend the tour to an out of town visitor, but as a person familiar to the city, I would say pass. You can find these places with a quick search. |

| A great way to learn about New York and happily eat our way through the process.
I think the only constructive criticism I would make would have been to try to order the tasting from"soup to nuts"-i.e. start with the appetizer type foods and end on a sweet. We started ith Indian egg roll type food, had several other noshes and ended with delicious pizza-it was just too much-perhaps a sweet from the same bakery would have been better.
I have recommended this to many friends-kind of an insider's way to get to know the city.

| Not a tour person nor is my boyfriend. But we had a great time and highly recommend it. Our guide was very enthusiastic and helpful with where to go after dinner. I felt like i had the inside scoop on where to go in Soho / Village. |

Another great tour

| This was our third tour.
The other Village tour had a lot more historic information while this tour combined history with more of visiting the area in the present. I can honestly say that both were equally enjoyable and very entertaining.
Learning about this part of the Village gave me some great ideas for return trips. The food was delicious, most of which I would not have tried on my own.
Growing up in New York and coming to the Village many times this was a totally new experience for me. I have moved out of the area but frequently visit NY and have not been in the village too often lately. This tour has provided me with a lot of great ideas for visits for myself and my husband as a weekend away, as well as visit with the kids.
Thanks for another great tour....we look forward to the new Culinary experiences!!! |

| Tour was great! I think out of the three tours (West Village and Chelsea) it was my favorite. Food was wonderful and lots of great history and just plain fun...had two 18 year olds with me and they liked it as well.
Hope to see more tours on the schedule in the future. See you soon! |
