| I have been to NY two years in a row and both times I started my trip off with a Foods of NY tour (last year Greenwich Village and this year Central Village & SOHO). I firmly believe that these tours set the most perfect atmosphere for your trip. I came away from the tour with getting a really good "feel" of the area that we visited... seeing clubs that influential musicians began in... seeing where multi-generational businesses have been making food for years... tasting food that is just awesome... and being taken care of... I just cannot explain it... I want to move to Greenwich Village after these tours and eat in these restaurants and go to these clubs - have them become a part of my life.
Rahim was our tour guide on this trip and he was fantastic. His knowledge of music, history, food and the neighbourhood was exceptional!
Thank you for providing this tour. I loved it. |

| Our Central Village & SOHO food & culture tour was one of the highlights of our trip to NYC. Our guide, Raheem, was so knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and charming. He had such great personal stories to tell about his experiences in the neighborhoods we visited. It was obvious that Raheem had a real connection to the area and that he loved his job. And we just loved learning about the Village and SOHO and sampling the food. I have told everyone here at home what a great experience this tour was and have told them that they must take one or more of these tours if they ever visit NYC. |

| This is a must to do if you are in New York. Lots of "local" information and great food. Our guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining, lots of fun. It gives you a good feel for NY community in the 'burbs'. |

| This was a great way to get to know the neighourhood and get tips on places to eat. We ended up going back to one of the restaurants on our tour for dinner the next day and were not disappointed.
We were surprised how generous the food portions were. Definitely go on this tour hungry. The food was terrific and the restaurant owners/staff were friendly and welcoming.
We're looking forward to booking another tour the next time we come to New York. Thanks for a great experience. |

| I had such a great time on the tour! Not only did I get to sample many different types of foods from places I wouldn't normally think to go, I also learned a great deal about the history and culture of the area. My group was saying that we'd do this every weekend if we could!!!!! Thanks to Susan, a wonderful tour guide! |

| Susan was a wonderful guide, such a pleasure to be around and very eager to help.
Food was excellent- perhaps better if it had been done in order (put all the dessert at the end). Plenty of food, good food, except the pasta- very average. Everything else was outstanding expecially indian, ricotta cheesecake etc.
Good venue, great architectural history and loved all the inside info |

| One of our group was a city native, but found places she had never been. The rest of us don't get into NY very much and loved the variety and stories. |
