| My friend and I visiting from Canada thoroughly enjoyed the tour, despite the rain. Rahim was exceptionally knowledgeable and personable, and all of the places visited were excellent.
I would recommend that participants check the weather forecast before coming, and bring an umbrella! |

| My wife and I most especially want to express our delight with our female guide. She knew so much about the history of the Village and made it so real for us with her personal experiences. Her personality was nothing less than exceptional. Since it started raining midway through the tour, she had to improvise to keep the weather from being a problem, which she did with a fair amount of skill. You are most fortunate to have this young lady on your staff (I think her name was Diana, but I am not sure).

| 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. |

| This was a fun tour! I liked everything that i sampled, very unique foods!!! Tour guide, Diane, was very informative and knew what she was talking about, but she was very much a pushy new-yorker, sometimes very anoying and other times beneficial on the streets of NY!!! Very fun, and adventerous!!!!! |

| The tour guide was organized, knowledgeable and respectful of the local residents on the tour. The tour was well paced with a mixture of both historical facts, stories, information about the individual businesses and foods provided. The size of the group was perfect as it retained an intimate quality appropriate for the area. It was a highlight of my first trip to Manhattan and I have already recommended it to many fellow tourists. |

| We had a teenage girl with us and she loved the cultural association with the musicians and beatnik poets. My daughter and I particularly enjoyed the variety of food and restaurants. Our guide was excellent. |

| Our walking tour allowed us to taste food items of restaurants that we would not normally have visited. It was fun, informative and enlightening. Diana, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable about the Village. Diana kept our group together as we walked throughout the various streets. Our group of 4 met the next day at Caffe Del Mare for drinks, proceeded to a wonderful dinner at Monte's, then drinks and dancing at the Blue Note. We had a wonder exposure to the Village neighborhood and would highly recommend the tour. We would have liked the tour to include a visit a "Pub" that would allow liquids as well as "spirits", but the our was about food and exposure to the variety of options in the neighborhood. We had a great time and would definitely recommend the tour. |

| The informational content was good, interesting and topical. There was not one food item offered that made me want to hurry back to that restaurant/store to further my dining experience.
I wish there had been some good lasagna offered, but it was Indian, Israeli, Jamaican, etc...not what I thought I would be in for. I thought/hoped it would be less international fare and more standard choices.
It was certainly not an unpleasant experience but with the ground covered and food intake offered, we left looking for something to eat. That was disappointing.

| We recently went on the Central Village/Soho food tour-what a fantastic way to see these wonderful neighborhoods and sample delicious,ethnic foods. Our guide,Rahim (?spelling) was very knowledgeable re;the neighborhoods and the restaurants. He has definately done his homework-what a great guide!!! My nephew is from NYC (lives in the Village)-he was very impressed,and learned quite alot about the many great restaurants in his area. I whole heartedly recommend this tour,and will be booking another one when I come back to NYC next year. My suggestion:come hungry,as you will be fed well. For the price of a so-so deli meal in Midtown,you can take this tour,eat a variety of mouth watering foods,and see some great New York neighborhoods/learn their history. Highly recommend this tour!!!
