| The tour covered history and culinary treats. Each food item was prepared well. Timing of tour group and organization was lacking but all was remedied. |

| This was my 6th tour with this company. I have gone on all of the tours with various friends and relatives. Greatly enjoyed the West Village and Soho tour. There is always a great mix of food with culture on these tours! |

| We had a great time - we were 2 sets of parents (60 somethings) with our married children (late twenties) - the six of us loved the tour for so many reasons! The weather did not put a damper on our enthusiasm. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and the guide was amazing. We will all go back to the places we visited. Everyone spent time trying to figure our favorite tasting and we all had more than one. This includes my daughter who is a vegetarian and me who doesn't eat pork (I went vegetarian for the day). Our guide was very knowledgeable and it was clear that he loved what he was doing and was most attentive to us.
We have all done the Chelsea Market and Village tours and this one is another great one. Thank you! |

| Even though we spend alot of time in the general area, this tour took us to places we don't normally frequent and introduced us to a new group of restaurants we can't wait to go back to! The food samplings were delicious and we weren't in need of food afterwards. The added historical information was something we never would have known if we just wandered around on our own- a great addition to the delicious food. It was a great way to spend 3 hours and we'll be looking into taking other tours from Foods of NY! |

| Susan was such an informative tour guide in regards to both the food and the neighborhood. The tour was a great pace and so interesting. Thanks for a great time.
My only suggestion would be to add more tours, especially catering to ethnic foods. |

| This tour is fantastic and gives you a great overview of the Greenwich and SoHo neighbourhoods. I really wished I had done the tour on the first day of my trip to NYC as I discovered so many great restaurants and cafes that I wanted to go back to for a full meal. The guide was very informative, the food sampling was generous and varied cuisines, and the distance covered on the walking tour gave you a nice insight into the neighbourhood. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys great food and is adventuresome with different ethnic dishes. You also discover some great gourmet food stores/bakeries if you are looking to cook at home or take items home with you. |

| The tour guide was terrific, impressively knowledgeable about area and especially about the restaurants and food we sampled. Have been on other tours, the food was by far the best on this one, both quality and quantity. |

| My 19 year old daughter and I chose this as our last hurrah of the summer. We both enjoyed it immensely. The tour covered a very diverse selection of food venues-restaurants, butcher, bakery, diff cultures etc. We will definitely go back to the restaurants for a full sit down meal soon. The guide was excellent; she relayed lots of interesting facts of history, culture and food . It is a great way to learn about a very interesting part of the city. Two thumbs up! |

| I have recently attended the Central Village and Soho Food Tour. I had already attended the original Greenwich Village tour two years previous and thought that was well done.
The Greenwich Village/ Soho Food Tour is even BETTER.. We sampled a larger spectrum of diverse foods which included a spicy vegetarian Indian wrap , an Italian pasta bolognese (they make their own pasta even), empanadas and yucca ( similar to a potato)at a Cuban restaurant which is the best I have ever had, Italian pepper sausage from an Italian butcher ( I went back and actually bought some to take home), a tasty zuchinni parmesian pizza (fantastic crust), and a poached pear /hazelnut chocolate dessert tart( the grand finale well worth waiting for).
Our guide, Susan, was very knowledgeable providing us with a bit of history and fun facts about the area.
It was a great opportunity to experience foods that I would never have thought of trying. I would definitely take this tour again the next time I go back to New York. |

| Nancy our guide was fantastic. Very warm and friendly, yet she kept us on track and gave us a lot of information about the area. Her selection of restaurants and stores along with the food choices were great. The pace of the tour was good for both the family with children as well as the older folks. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get their bearings in Greenwich Village as well as finding out about some wonderful restaurants that you would normally not even consider. The tour was worth every penny. We are already looking for a tour to take next year on our 2010 sojourn to NYC. |
