| Thoroughly enjoyed this tour and the food selections. Feel like it's a better tour for people who will be in NYC a bit longer than a couple of days so that you can go back to these places and enjoy them. Was a bit disappointed with the 'Soho' part of the tour which amounted to essentially one block of Soho. A great block with 3 good tastings, to be sure. But barely skimmed Soho. This should be called just the Central Village tour. |

| This tour is great. Especially if you've lived here and think you know all the good spots. You learn interesting NYC history and discover some hidden gems. The tour guide is really knowledgeable, and the places we stopped at were great. The background was always interesting, and provided an excellent backdrop for what we were trying. My only complaint is that it felt long after a while, and yet we still didn't get to go in to as many places as I'd like. But, on a gorgeous day, it's a perfect way to spend the day. I would definitely recommend these tours. |

| My daughter and her family were visiting from Ohio for the holiday weekend and we ussually plan some activity for them to do in NYC. My neighbors told me about the "Walking Tours" and how great they are so we tried it . We will certainly do it again and will try the other tours.
Our tour guide was Raheem and he did a very nice job; pleasant and personable.

| My tour guide clearly loved his job, his neighborhood and the places we visited He was very knowledgeble on the history of both the neighborhood and of the places we visited, providing the background on each of the restaurants/food locations and providing tasty tidbits of" insider" information. The tastings were diverse and delicious and well spread out through the tour to prevent us from going hungry. If you enjoy food and are interested in the cultural and historical context this tour is for you! |

| We have been on the other food tours and loved them. This was the only one we had not been on. Our tour guide - Susan - was very knowledgeable (I guess because she grew up in this area) and she was very nice (which we love about the people in NY). We really enjoyed the stops especially the Peanut Butter Company where I bought a cookbook and a jar of peanut butter and just tonight recreated one of their creations for dinner. Who ever came up with the idea for NY City food tours is a genius and we want to thank him! |

| The 3 hour food tour with Rahim our guide was enjoyable. He was funny and articulate. The tour not only introduces some of the best restaurants in town but also history about the area. This is a good value for money and I would recommend to anyone who loves food. We have indeed visited a few places the tour covered which were not recommended by any printed guidebooks. |

| This was the 3rd tour we've taken with Foods of New York and, as with the other two, we have been very impressed with the selections of places visited and variety of foods offered. Our tour guide (Susan) was very knowledgeable about not only the eateries, local shops and night spots, but the history of the buildings and local lore. I would highly recommend any of these tours to visitors to New York as well as to "locals" who, like us, might not be aware of the area's history and all that is offered in the Village and Soho. |
