| This tour was great. Extremely informative and appealed to everyone in our group, including my parents, boyfriend and roommate. The food was awesome and the tips, very useful.
Since my boyfriend, roommate and I live in the city, we're able to share the info with friends and continue to visit the places we learned about.
Our guide, Susan, was knowledgeable and engaging.
We'll definitely try other tours in the future.
Thanks! |

| Our family typically visits NYC once or twice a year, eating at mostly the same favorite restaurants and taking in the sights. This was our first organized tour and we felt it was a great investment of 3 hours of our time. We learned alot about the culture of the area and even sampled food at restaurants we later returned to ... Monte's and the mozzerella cheese makers! Raheed was our tour guide and we was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We would definitely recommend this tour and will return ourselves for the Greenwich Village tour next year! |

| The food was great, got to try a lot of delish food items I never would have tried on my own.
Guide was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about village culture, history, food, etc. And funny! Loved learning about the history and food of my neighborhood! I walk by these places all the time and never had a clue about many of these places.
Highly recommend for a great afternoon of fun, food, and getting to know the area. If you are a tourist, you will leave this tour with a better understanding of the village / SoHo and a HUGE list of things to do after the tour! |

| Our tour guide, Rahim, was very knowledgeable. Unfortunately, a couple of things distracted from our enjoyment of the tour. First, he spent a significant amount of time bashing NYU. He should temper his comments. Second, I lost count of the number of times he said, "o.k., the thing is guys..." Bottom line, his young age showed through, i.e. lack of maturity. Susan, another tour guide, was with us on the tour but Rahim was running the show. Based on the reviews I read of Susan before the tour, I really wish she had run the tour instead. |

| A friend of mine organized a group of us to try the tour, and it was fantastic! Susan was our tour guide, and we spent three hours walking around, having many delicious tastings, and getting an extremely interesting lesson on the history of the area. I live locally and learned a great deal about the neighborhood, while discovering lots of restaurants and food shops that I was not previously familiar with. Highly recommended!!! |

| This was my favorite part of my visit to New York. Amazing histoy and great food. Not too much walking (more standing around than walking). Great for any person. |

| This is my second tour with the company, and I have loved both. Our guide, Rahim, was incredibly knowledgeable about both the food and the neighborhood, real estate, history, etc. The food options were diverse and delicious. We went back to the Village and had dinner two different nights of our trip at restaurants featured on the tour. Excellent meals!
My husband was skeptical. He was worried it would be all food and no information (he's not the "eater" I am), but he too was very impressed.
I would do one of your tours on every trip I made to NYC and highly recommend to friends and family. |

| I took my mother on the tour when she came into the city for a weekend. Last time she visited she went on the West Village tour and loved it. I've lived in the neighborhood for about a year and was thrilled to see what was behind the doors I generally breeze past. I loved visiting the little mom and pop stores and restaurants and sampling the yummy food!
Susan was really great with everyone--learning the names of everyone in the group within minutes and sharing fantastic little details and stories about the streets I walk daily. The selection of tastings was very broad, the service was prompt and the food was delicious!
Loved it! |

| We had a great time on the tour, we learned a lot about the neighborhood, things you would never know by just walking around on your own. And... the food was great, especially the Indian Bread Company :-). |
