| We had a teenage girl with us and she loved the cultural association with the musicians and beatnik poets. My daughter and I particularly enjoyed the variety of food and restaurants. Our guide was excellent. |

| Bari was our guide and she was very knowledgeable not only about the food but about the area, family businesses, etc. Can hardly wait to go back and enjoy the village and stay for a meal or two. Larry & I are a couple of seniors and found the walk very easy, 3 hours seems like a long time but it just flew by, in fact we went a little longer. No lunch was needed when we completed the tour. A most enjoyable experience. Look forward to the next time:

| This was our second tour of The Village and Soho, last year it was one section and this year it was the other parts of that area. We sampled foods from Israel, Jamaica, India, the Middle East and Italy. Our guide, Tod, was not only a very nice person, was most knowledgable of the history of the area, the architecture, the foods, the people, the different kinds of music to be heard at the clubs and restaurants, and the 'off Broadway' theatres. Most of the establishments were still much the same as they have always been. Some of the stores and eating places are 'Mom and Pop' (family owned and operated) places and have been in the families for generations. The people who live in the area want to keep it as it is - a village of various cultures. We agree with them - it is a most interesting area. It would be a tragedy to have it invaded by a Starbucks or a McDonalds. |

| On my last visit to NYC I decided to try one of the food tours. I woke up to a Noreaster that was plaguing NYC but as the tour was set to run rain or shine I headed out prepeared for the weather and what Ithought may not turn out to be a great day. Boy, was I wrong!! Our wonderful guide Susan met us at Cafe Del Mare and we started our trek. The food was not only delicious and interesting to learn about but Susan provided so much knowledge of the neighborhood and the culture of the region. She is an excellent guide. I cannot wait for my next trip to the city to try one of your other food tours. Since my return to NH I have raved about this tour and highly recommend it to friends who may be visiting the city. Thank you

| Everything was so well organized. Our guide knew the area and food stops in depth. I can't decide which tour to take the next time I visit NYC. |

| Upon the recommendation of a friend, I booked the Greenwich Village/Soho tour for my husband and myself for our first day in New York. It's been 30 years since I visited New York, and we had just 3 days to feel the rhythm of the city. Our tour was terrifuc, owing to the knowledge and enthusiasm of our guide. (I believe his name is Rahim, a charming young man.) His knowledge of the neighborhoods, his appreciation of the history, and his love of the food made our visit to the area such a pleasure. Thank you for treating us tourists to such a pleasurable experience. |
