| This tour was one of the highlights of our trip. Our guide, Raheim was fantastic and gave us an inside look into Greenwich Village. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone. |

Boring, dull, not worth the time or money.

| The tour started out at a restaurant that was closed due to a robbery that happened over night. Some communication between the restaurant and the tour company could have prevented us from even going to Indian Bread and then having to waste time while the tour guide figured out what to do.
The tour guide certainly could have known her history, but she was more concerned with telling stories about her Mother and her child hood that I just zoned her out.
There tour was suppose to be humorous, it wasn’t.
1-1/2 hours into the tour (and only two food samplings), we could not take the pain any longer. We left and headed to Canal St.
An absolute waste of time and money. |

| The guide, Susan, was wonderful. She was extremely knowledgable and enthusiastic about the area. The food was great; we were not hungry for dinner for many hours after the tour. On the day of our tour the Indian Bread Co. had unfortunately experienced a robbery and so could not be a part of the tour. Susan handled this with great courtesy and tact and the owner met us later on in the tour with samples to replace what we would have received at the Bread Co. This was the epitamy of great service. We will most certainly book the other Greenwich tour when we return to New York based on our enjoyment of this tour and Susan's recommendation. |

| Very well balanced agenda that provided a good mix of local history, social evolution of the area, and the resultant foods and restaurants in the neighbourhood. The choice of restaurants and shops was very appropriate.
Our guide was very well informed and did an outstanding job. |

| My husband and I enjoyed ourselves enormously on this tour. The food, although plentiful and fun was incidental to our enjoyment of hearing the history and facts that related to the areas we visited.
Our guide knew his stuff and presented the tour at a pace that suited the group we were with. Three hours is a long time and although by the end we were both tired we went away with some great ideas and suggestions to our family who actually live locally.
I would say though if the weather is hot, hot, hot as it can be in NYC at this time this tour could be fairly difficult and uncomfortable. Those who get tired easily or who find standing for long periods of time won't particularly enjoy this as it is all standing.
In conclusion, I found this good value for money and a great way to see new areas of the city. |

| Susan, our guide, was very knowledgeable about the Greenwich/Soho tour. It was very enjoyable and the food tastings were outstanding. I would recommend this activity and I will definitely try out some of the other offerings. |

| You won't leave hungry or without a ton of information on the area. Great walking tour with additional stops at area shops so you know where to go back for great finds!! The food was plentiful, tasty and very different from what I would pick out by walking these streets on my own. A tour I highly recommend. |

| A wonderful walking food and history adventure! Raheem, our tour guide, brought the trip fully alive by giving great historical descriptions and narratives about the area as we walked. Food sampling was varied and very tasty. My grown daughters and I would, of course, love to take another tour someday! |
