| I enjoyed the tour but it really dragged out at times. There were 8 food places, half of them very quick in succession for the last 15 minutes. That meant that for 2.5 hours, only 4 foods were tasted. That's a lot of talking to listen to . This will probably be my last tour. I've done the chelsea market and the greenich village tour also. The greenich village tour is by far the best. |

| This was absolutely the highlight of our first visit to New York. Over for a week, we booked the tour online before we travelled. Our group was led by Diana who displayed a real insight and knowledge of Village history and culture. The food tastings were fabulous, plentiful and varied. Seeing where Bob Dylan had played and lived was the icing on the cake for me. The whole atmosphere of the village s something `i will definitely revisit having had such a friendly and helpful introduction. A model of its kind.
Thank you, Diana./ |

| We enjoyed this activity. It was a very informative walk with a great deal of information about the area, its history, architecture, activities - past and present along with visits to many of the area restaurants and sampling the foods (that were all delicious).
The Tour leader was very knowledgeable, personable and helpful.
Thank you. I will be happy to recommend this tour and your organization to visitors in the area. |

| Our guide Diane met the nine of us at Cafe Del Mare, and led us on a very interesting and VERY tasty tour of the Village and SoHo. From the first stop at the India Bread Company to our last taste of Yogurt the day was a big hit. The history of the area was interspersed with stories of restaurants, cooks and various foods. It was most enjoyable. It allowed me to try foods I may never have and to make note of restaurants I wish to come back to.
Diane made it enjoyable and oh so interesting. All nine of us agreed that this is the way to get to know the area. I have been visiting NYC for over 30 years, but this tour has opened up a new part of the City to me. Your group is now bookmarked and we will be reserving for future food tours when we get to visit again.
Thanks so much for making a great weekend get together with a group of friends all the more special. |

| Particularly liked Raheem. He was informative and made everything come alive for us - the city, the foods, the area. We are telling all our friends! However, the foods gave us indigestion. Were a little on the spicy side for our 58 and 68 year old taste buds. But that said, we'd do it again in a heartbeat -- and probably will when we come back to NY. Raheem said you may take this international and if you do, sign us up to travel with you to wherever you go... |

| The samples were very good. The tour was a little long since a third of the establishments do not participate in taste testing. I was impressed with the guide's knowledge of the history, architecture, and restaurants of this tour. |

| My friend and I visiting from Canada thoroughly enjoyed the tour, despite the rain. Rahim was exceptionally knowledgeable and personable, and all of the places visited were excellent.
I would recommend that participants check the weather forecast before coming, and bring an umbrella! |

| Our walking tour allowed us to taste food items of restaurants that we would not normally have visited. It was fun, informative and enlightening. Diana, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable about the Village. Diana kept our group together as we walked throughout the various streets. Our group of 4 met the next day at Caffe Del Mare for drinks, proceeded to a wonderful dinner at Monte's, then drinks and dancing at the Blue Note. We had a wonder exposure to the Village neighborhood and would highly recommend the tour. We would have liked the tour to include a visit a "Pub" that would allow liquids as well as "spirits", but the our was about food and exposure to the variety of options in the neighborhood. We had a great time and would definitely recommend the tour. |
