| The history/facts aspect of the tour was beneficial and interesting. For a foodie, I was rather disappointed with the food diversity. I expected more variety per sitting. |

Insightful and fascinating 3 hours

| Very well balanced agenda that provided a good mix of local history, social evolution of the area, and the resultant foods and restaurants in the neighbourhood. The choice of restaurants and shops was very appropriate.
Our guide was very well informed and did an outstanding job. |

This tour was terrific!

| Our family took the tour of Soho & Greenwich Village with Rahim, and it was absolutely great! Lots on interesting history of the locale, shops & restaurants, met really nice people and had LOTS of food to try! We returned to several shops to take items home - such as the smoked mozzarella, italian sausages & fresh pasta. Worth every penny - highly recommended! |

| My husband and I completed this tour on our recent trip to NYC from Atlanta and would highly recommend it to visitors and locals alike. Our main tour guide, Bari, was incredibly informative, professional, energetic and charming. I would softly suggest that her gentleman associate guide turn off his cell phone during tours b/c all the calls were disruptive. We found the historical and cultural information fascinating - Bari's passion for the historical integrity of the village was undeniable! I had been to this area before, but did not know the history or which restaurants (and there are many) were best. The vast variety of ethnical foods we tasted on the tour were intriguing and the main reason signed up for this tour. As a personal chef, I was most interested in the details of the food preparation and the ingredients. I think diehard Foodies would be, too, and the tour guides may have arguably been a little light on this information. All in all, we wished we would have scheduled this tour @ the beginning of our trip vs. the last day. The 3-hour walk was somewhat exhausting for already tired and sore feet, but we found it to be the highlight of our NYC visit. The long-standing ethnical mom-and-pop restaurants and shops were an appreciated treat coming from Atlanta that has sadly evolved into a chain restaurant wasteland. |

| We recently took the Greenwich/Soho tour on a chilly Feb. afternoon and found it to be totally enjoyable. Our guide Rahim, was a great guy who provided us with great inforamtion about the area, the restaurants and eateries and made us feel like locals instead of tourists. We visited places we would never find if we went on our own, and it gave us insight into places to visit when we return to New York. We were able to sample many foods and wander through the streets into real neighbourhood haunts. My husband and I highly reccomend this tour to anyone coming to New York ! |

| 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).

| I'm sorry I can't remember the lady's name - friendly, enthusiastic, wearing a baseball cap. The tour exceeded my expectations - the history and info given was really interesting, the food was very nice and Greenwich Village was wonderful in the sunshine. Thank you. |

| I had been on the Greenwich food tour several years ago, and enjoyed it immensely with my 22 year old daughter. This time, took the Greenwich SoHO tour with my husband, and 80 year old mother. We all LOVED the tour. I always get lost in Greenwich (but that's part of the charm), but it was delightful having a guide to point out historical and food venues. I now have many restaurants on my "to do" list for the future. I HIGHLY recommend any of the food tours for first time visitors, repeat visitors, and for locals (my daughter has been in Manhattan for 3 years, and she was upset that she wasn't able to join us on this tour!) |
