Central Village/SoHo Food & Culture Tour

activity photo

Sample tasty treats from ethnic, old-school eateries in two distinct areas - one colorful and exciting, the other surprisingly quaint.

Our guide Rahim brought a lot of enthusiasm and love of the area to the tour. I expected it to be mostly about food, but he also brought out a lot about the history of the area which we all really enjoyed. Wish we could have shopped, but I understand the time constraints. Having a bottle of water for each of us was very good. Suggestion: also hand out a small hand sanitizer to everyone.

We love all the tours you do, but this one was our least favorite. The reason was the guide. Most of the guides are very friendly. She didn't ask our names. She didn't explain to the group the structure of the tour (so for example we walked into first stop, sat down and never heard an explanation that we weren't eating there but leaving shortly). She at least twice announced to use the bathroom then immediately said time to go, leaving group members in the bath room while others went outside. While walking she answered questions briefly and did not make chit chat (this is so different from other guides who were very personable). To polish it off , when my husband admittedly gave her a lousy tip she asked if there was a problem in a rude tone of voice. Honestly, this woman seems like she has been giving tours too long. She didn't have a passion for it but clearly was experienced. I found her abrasive.

I purchased this as a surprise day for my daughter's birthday. The experience was awesome but in part due to our very knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide Rahin. Highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys food and fun local history. Will definitely do another .

As usual you can't go wrong with a "Foods of New York Tour"! I always learn something new and the food always delicious!

Whether you are are a "foodie" or not, this tour should please. Our tour guide Susan gave us a broad introduction to the history of Greenwich Village, it's past and present role in NYC. Tastings were very good, diverse and nicely presented. Loved learning to shop likce a local.

I've lived in NYC for 4 years and I still learned a thing or two on this tour. Made a great birthday gift. Put on good walking shoes -- much of the tour involves eating samples outside of the restaurant and then walking around the neighborhood to hear some more historical anecdotes. I was definitely full by the third restaurant and I started with an empty stomach! Definitely arrive hungry. The cost is more than worth it for all the food and stories.

I highly recommend the village/soho tour!!! The tour guide susan was fantastic--learning about the culture and history of the village/soho from her was so interesting! The food was also all incredible. Great variety as well. You get a ton of food too--i was in a food coma afterwards!
