| Initially, I must report that our tour guide was most helpful, pleasant and informative, however, the tour itself was not what my family and I had anticipated. Our first two stops at the Indian and Italian places were absolutely fantastic! Good background and information on both places. Unfortunately, things began to go downhill from here. Our tour turned into much more of a tour centering on the landmarks and history of the area. We have taken food tours elsewhere, and concentration on the food and restaurants of the area is what we expected. The information the guide provided was informative, but we were expecting to learn more about the area's food offerings rather than its culture. The food we received was, for the most part, quite good, varied, and plentiful, but we felt we left the area with little additional knowledge of the culinary offerings of the neighborhoods. |

| What fun, history, culture and food. It does not get better and I look forward to taking more of these. Please have one for each section of the city.
It was worth every penny. |

| My husband and I took this tour to have something fun to do together on a day off. We live in North Jersey and come to NYC a lot, but wanted to learn more about the area, eat delicious food and find some new restaurants to go to. We had a great time! Our tour guide, Rahim, was fantastic! He seemed to know everything about the whole area, the history, the foods, etc. He also seemed to be very well liked by the owners of all the places we toured. We were fortunate to have a small (7 people) group which made it even better.
We definitely ate lots of delicious food and learned lots and went back to purchase pasta and cheese from 2 of the stores. We also plan on going back to some of the restaurants.
We would highly recommend this tour to anyone, whether you are visiting NYC from far away or live locally. |

| My husband and I decided to take the tour as part of an anniversay weekend in the city. Our tour guide, Diana, was very knowledgeable about the areas we visited and we tried lots of good food. We couldn't wait to go back to many of the stores after the tour to buy some of the foods we had tasted. I learned a lot about parts of Greenwich Village and SoHo and loved trying several ethnic foods that I had never had before. The tour was great. |

| Our group enjoyed many aspects of the tour. Our tour guide did a great job both from a food understanding and area historical side. We enjoyed the variety of restaurants and food samplings we had ,and enjoyed revisiting one for a great lunch. The only element that was a challenge is that everywhere we went seemed to be a bit tired and old. We ended up feeling that this was part of the character of the environment and were happy to have had samples and introductions to each place, as we would probably not have ever gone into any of them on our own. Again, the guide was great about the area history as we walked through the tour, making this a very well-rounded tour. I would do it again and try other areas to see the variety offered in those. |

| The tour and guide where great, the food was ok I would say that you need more places you go in and sit down, standing out side on the street was not what I expected. Also of of the food was very small, good but not much. |

| Our guide Bari was very knowlegeable on all aspects of the area covering both the history and the current landmarks/restaurants/delis. We went back to one of the restaurants she recommended that evening for dinner and the food was delicious. We were very impressed with the area covered, the food tasted and the tour generally. Would highly recommend it. |
