| we enjoyed the winter central village tour and guide, and moving into warm spaces to hear local history. the info and tastings were great...the only disappointment was the halva in the falafel shop. we were ushered past the roasting meat and had hoped to taste it. also the west village tour left us full from the many and good sized tastings, but some of the samples on central village tour were small. |

| Rahim our group guide was excellent he was very knowledgeable and passionette about the area, the history different cultures and foods which abound. Our only regret was that we had not been able to do the tour earlier in our stay so that we could have gone back to some of the restaurants we were shown. Never the less we will now have the confidence to try them on our next visit to New York, when will will also be booking ourselves on the other tours available.
Thanks again for helping to make our first trip to New York such a great experience !

| We really enjoyed learning about history of the area, the food, and cultural experience. Our guide was very knowledgable about the area and even shared personal stories about how certain things impacted her. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone but be prepared to walk for most of the 3 hours (Don't go shopping in Chinatown before hand). |

| I live in Manhattan, but my focus is work. I very seldom take time to explore and indulge in all the fantastic things the city has to offer (A crime! I know!) I welcomed the opportunity to play tourist when my aunt came for a visit. The Central Village/SoHo Food and Culture Tour was absolutely the highlight of the weekend. Our guide was enthusiastic and entertaining. My guest and I both learned a thing or two (or 20) about NY history, architecture, culture, and of course, it's fabulous cuisine. I have a brand new list of favorite places to eat, and several places I'm looking forward to enjoying in greater depth in the future. The tastings were nicely paced, and we finished the tour satiated and inspired. |

| I enjoyed the tour but it really dragged out at times. There were 8 food places, half of them very quick in succession for the last 15 minutes. That meant that for 2.5 hours, only 4 foods were tasted. That's a lot of talking to listen to . This will probably be my last tour. I've done the chelsea market and the greenich village tour also. The greenich village tour is by far the best. |

| This was absolutely the highlight of our first visit to New York. Over for a week, we booked the tour online before we travelled. Our group was led by Diana who displayed a real insight and knowledge of Village history and culture. The food tastings were fabulous, plentiful and varied. Seeing where Bob Dylan had played and lived was the icing on the cake for me. The whole atmosphere of the village s something `i will definitely revisit having had such a friendly and helpful introduction. A model of its kind.
Thank you, Diana./ |

| Particularly liked Raheem. He was informative and made everything come alive for us - the city, the foods, the area. We are telling all our friends! However, the foods gave us indigestion. Were a little on the spicy side for our 58 and 68 year old taste buds. But that said, we'd do it again in a heartbeat -- and probably will when we come back to NY. Raheem said you may take this international and if you do, sign us up to travel with you to wherever you go... |

| The weather rain, but Diana did her best to keep us as dry as possible. The food stops were good, but I think the Greenwhich village had much more to offer. |
