| Very good tour. Raheem was very energetic and knowledgeable. Foods provided a good sample--the Indian taste was especially memorable. Good balance of commercial marketing/local information. Would recommend this tour to friends visiting NYC. |

| Our guide Suzy knows more about New York, and the Village in particular, than do many lifelong residents. Her knowledge and presentation made information I have read about come alive.
The tastings were abundant, well-chosen, and simply delicious. I will be booking a tour again next year, and spending time and money comfortably in the Village because of this superb and tasty tour. |

| The tour was great but it is a little long--I thought the tour guide should have kept us moving a little quicker. I know she didn't want to seem to rush us but towards the end we were tired and it would have been better if she had just hurried us along the whole time to get everything in 3 hours or less.... |

| After ALL these years of visiting NY City, this tour gave us New Yorkers and Pennsylvanians alike, a feel of the city away from the tourist chaos. The choices for the tasting tour were invigorating and delightful (also fully satisfying) for our adventurous palates (but not Andrew Zimmern-like, mind you!). Having Rahim as our tour guide was like spending a day with a local friend - very personable, funny, very knowledgeable (someone you would want with you on the Cash Cab!). His great appreciation for international cuisines and culture was contagious. I was there for a girls-day-out with my mother, sister and sister-in-law and enjoyed it. Our group included couples, father and daughter, mother and daughters and even a lady vegetarian by herself; and we were all accommodated very well. Truly an excellent way to spend 3 hours in an arranged tour. |

| Susan was wonderful, enthusiastic, knowledgable, attentive. The food was .... terrible. Peanut butter sandwich?? A slice of sausage? This was a wonderful tour - but the 'food' part is misleading. Just let Susan lead the group and leave out the food. |

| Our group of seven - ranging in age from 16 to 78 - had a fantastic time on this tour. Our guide was excellent, knowing much about the history, culture and make-up of both the Village and SoHo. The food we tasted was fun and exciting and the three hours seemed to fly by. When we return to New York City, we will definitely eat at several of the restaurants we visited! |

| The tour was great... but, it is a walking tour, and 3 hours is a little long, so wear sneakers. The restaurants that we stopped at were fun little places that you might pass by if they were not pointed out. And the food was fantastic... a variety of ethnicities were covered, and I definitely tried new dishes that I wouldn't have even known how to order. We even stopped at a restaurant that was based solely on peanut butter!! Additionally, the tour guide gives you the history of the buildings and shops in the area, so you understand why one shop is still there, while others have become, unfortunately, McDonalds. |

| Great tour and loved finding all the new places. The only issue was the tour guide walked too far infront of the group...made it hard for some of people in the group to keep up. I would sign up for other tours in a heart beat and go to all the stops again. The history and fun stories added to the tour and made it a great cultural experience. |
