| Even though we spend alot of time in the general area, this tour took us to places we don't normally frequent and introduced us to a new group of restaurants we can't wait to go back to! The food samplings were delicious and we weren't in need of food afterwards. The added historical information was something we never would have known if we just wandered around on our own- a great addition to the delicious food. It was a great way to spend 3 hours and we'll be looking into taking other tours from Foods of NY! |

| The tour guide was terrific, impressively knowledgeable about area and especially about the restaurants and food we sampled. Have been on other tours, the food was by far the best on this one, both quality and quantity. |

| My 19 year old daughter and I chose this as our last hurrah of the summer. We both enjoyed it immensely. The tour covered a very diverse selection of food venues-restaurants, butcher, bakery, diff cultures etc. We will definitely go back to the restaurants for a full sit down meal soon. The guide was excellent; she relayed lots of interesting facts of history, culture and food . It is a great way to learn about a very interesting part of the city. Two thumbs up! |

| This was a great tour. I 've been on three tours now and loved this one the best. Very informative and the tour guide, Rasheem, made it very interesting. The food was incredible and plentiful. We walked away pleasantly stuffed. This is a great tour for everyone-local or tourist. |

| I had the most wonderful experience on the food tour. Not only did I taste so many different types of food that I would have never thought of, I learned so much about Central Village/SoHo area. The foods were filling and amazing!! Definitely recommend anyone and everyone to go. We're going to do the rest of the neighborhoods. |

| Hello - I booked the Soho Food tour for my company this past weekend and just want your company to know we all had a blast! We had 13 attendees and everyone LOVED the food, the tour and the history we all learned. Most of us walk by places in Soho not even realizing how special they really are, and Rahim totally showed us a dif't side of Soho. He was so interesting, and passionate about the tour - going out of his way to make us realize how great Soho really is.
Almost everyone left the tour with a new appreciation of Soho and NY in general. Plus they all wanted to go on other tours through your company through the company or on their own, which is even better!! I know for myself, I'd love to know which other tours Rahim is responsible for, so I can make sure to sign up again with him.
Thank you so much for allowing our corporate party to have such a blast this past Saturday! :O) |

| Raheem was a great guide. He was very informative on the history of the neighborhood, very pleasant to speak with, and gave us plenty of information on the foods we sampled.
We will definitely do another tour. |

| Interesting history of the area...our guide was very informative...the food samples were mostly very satisfying, especially the Cuban restaurant....
A lot of standing for long periods of time, but the weather was pleasant which made the afternoon enjoyable. I would recommend this activity! |

| This tour was awesome! You get so much food for the amount you pay. You definately don't need lunch and probably not dinner. The tastings are much more substantial than a taste. Our tour guide Susan was outstanding. I could hear her over the hustle and bustle of New York. She knew so much about the area and history and did an incredible job. The restaurants we sampled were extremely diverse from Indian to Italian to Cuban it was a great mix. I brought my parents from upstate who got to try many different types of cuisines and really learn history of the area. Even being a New Yorker I can't wait to go back and try these restaurants over the next few months. I would highly recommend this to Local New Yorkers if you're looking to find nice little gems to eat and drink as well as people who aren't familiar with the city. I feel as a local New Yorker sometimes there are so many places to eat and drink and go out it becomes overwhelming to come up with new ideas. This was a great tour because now I have a new list of places and foods to try over the next couple of months!!!
Thank you so much!!!! |

| I have lived in NYC for almost two years now but there is so much about the city I don't know. I had friends visiting me and decided to go on my second food tour (the other one was the awesome West Village tour). Raheem was such an excellant and knowledgable tour guide that I felt that I learned something more about NYC and discovered some great new places to try out. It's a fun and unique way to introduce some-one to NYC and give them an "insider" perspective that they won't get on an ordinary tour. I love the tours! |
