| The tour guide did an excellent job providing information on the food we were sampling and culture of the area. The food was all very good. My favorite was the smoked mozarella cheese, sun dried tomatos and sausage. When we started our tour it was raining very hard, which put a bit of a damper on things, but by the end of the day the weather was lovely. One of the parties in our group came almost a half hour late and the tour guide accomodated them and took the whole group back to the first restaurant, this resulted in the whole tour running over the time limit. |

| We really enjoyed our tour despite the weather. All the stops had great tastes. We plan to return to several places on our next trip to the Big Apple. Take a bite. |

| A group of us ages 25-30 went on this tour, mix of guys and gals. Some neat background given about the village and SoHo, but it should be stated that this is a food tasting tour rather than just a food tour, because we were still quite hungry after the 3 hrs. Like another review, this could have been done in 2 hrs, by the time the 2nd hour was over we were pretty much ready to go. More food less talking would have been nicer. Overall it was alright. Maybe locals would enjoy the history more. |

Great way to experience Greenwich Village

| We were in NYC on a "girls weekend", and thought this tour would be a great way to see the Central Village/SoHo area. We were RIGHT!
All of the food tastings were of a very high quality with generous portion sizes. We enjoyed the varied types of food that were presented. We especially liked Monte's and the Gnocchi that was served, so much so that we had to return later in the evening for dinner.
Our guide, Susan, was wonderful. We loved all the history/stories she told us about the area in addition to the food tastings. The whole experience was great, we would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting NYC!

| My boyfriend and I live in New York City and we love to try new food, so this was an exciting event for us to check out an area that we do not often frequent. The guide was knowledgeable, entertaining and approachable. The food was inventive and authentic, I didn't really taste anything I had tasted before. The walk was nice with thorough, historic information every step of the way from the guide. We have decided to return to many of these locations again for a full meal, and actually after the tour, we went back to most of them and bought a little bag of food from each store! |

| We couldn't have had a more perfect time! The weather
was beautiful with a little wind to cool us down. Our
guide, Susan, was amazing! She gave us such history
about the restaurants we visited and the surrounding buildings.
Everywhere we stopped the restaurant owners were friendly
and welcoming. Food was so diverse and tasty. I can't wait
to try another tour! |

| My husband and I really enjoyed our Central Village/SoHo tour. Rajeem (sp?) was fun and knowledgeable. All the food we tasted was awesome! The next night we returned for dinner at Monte's and also went to the Comedy Cellar, which Rajeem recommended, and totally enjoyed both places. The printed guide we received will be very helpful on future trips to NYC also. My only worry is that now that I've had halva from Ali Baba I won't be able to find anything that comes close to that good in Ohio! |

| We enjoyed both the food and commentary. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and well-spoken, and shared a lot of information about the history and architecture of the Village as well as several dozen restaurants. The food was really good, although I have to admit I expected a little more eating, given the number of restaurants that were discussed, and a bit less walking. It would have been helpful if the tour had started and stopped at the same place, as we found ourselves ending quite a distance from our starting point even though we passed it mid-way in the tour. Overall it was a very good experience and introduced us to places we will certainly revisit in the future. |
