| We have participated in the West Village food tour and loved it, so we decided to do this tour. The food was outstanding, and the serving sizes were generous. We loved the cheesecake and returned the next evening there for dessert. Our guide was very knowledgeable and had many good stories and interesting facts to share in addition to the food. This is a must for anyone who wants a local's perspective on the area and the food. |

| For first-time travelers to New York, we knew we would make our rounds through Times Square, the Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, the like... but we wanted to make sure that we visited one of New York's many historic towns - and by visit, I don't mean "sit on top of a double-decker and drive through." I mean pounding feet-to-pavement and immersing ourselves in it. We wanted to visit places that only locals and enthusiasts know about; we wanted to taste food that wasn't following the trend of the month, but rather has been made the same way for generations; we wanted to touch the very stage where musical icons of our generation (and those prior) got their start. And we did all that and more on this tour! A-mazing!!!
Our guide's knowledge of the area was spectacular! She, herself, is a product of Central Village - it doesn't get more real than that!
And the food selection - oh, the food selection - was outstanding! I won't ruin it for any potential participants in the tour who may be reading this, so I won't speak specifically to the dishes that we tried. I will only say that you WILL NOT be disappointed! There were many "best ever" eating moments on this tour, ex. "that was the best [insert dish here] that I've ever had in my life."
We visited New York from Hawaii, a place that's very rich in cultural diversity and culinary influence as well. And we really appreciate the experience that this tour offered. When we look back on our first ever trip to New York, this will be one of it's highlights! |

| Whilst the food that we tasted on this tour was very good, I particularly enjoyed learning about the history and culture of the area as we walked its streets. We did the tour early in our time in New York and I feel that this understanding enriched our stay. Our guide was knowledgeable and approachable and the pace seemed to suit the group very well. There was a good variety of cuisine styles offered as we walked and although quantities were small to moderate at each venue, no-one in our group of friends needed dinner that night! |

| We did it with a group of seven. We all thought it was a lot of fun. We enjoyed every tasting and found the guide very knowledgable. We all agreed that it was the best cheesecake we ever had! Each stop was unique and quaint. I highly recommend it and know that next year we will do it again. |

| This tour was one of the highlights of our trip. Raheem's knowledge and enthusiasm combined with the delicious food made for a very excellent way to see a section of the city. I am a repeat customer and believe I was succesful in converting two new customers who had never been on a food tour. One of our group members is local to New York and learned several new places that he plans to revisit. I plan to try a new tour each time I get the opportunity to visit New York. |

| As a first time visitor to New York we were glad that a friend had recommended these food and culture tours. We did book online before our trip and would recommend doing so as we just managed to secure the last 4 places. We chose the Greenwich Village area as we were very much into Bob Dylan who lived there during our early teen years in the sixties. The food samples in various cuisines were all delicious and we did make a reservation for an evening meal at one of the Italian restaurants albeit we were staying in a hotel off Times Square. The tour also included visiting the Cafe Wha nightclub, it was a surreal moment for us as it appeared that nothing had changed there since the sixties. We also visited the club on the evening after dining at the restaurant nearby. We thought the resident band on the Sunday evening were brilliant and it was such a good atmosphere. |
