| Raheem was a great guide. He was very informative on the history of the neighborhood, very pleasant to speak with, and gave us plenty of information on the foods we sampled.
We will definitely do another tour. |

| Interesting history of the area...our guide was very informative...the food samples were mostly very satisfying, especially the Cuban restaurant....
A lot of standing for long periods of time, but the weather was pleasant which made the afternoon enjoyable. I would recommend this activity! |

| We had taken Chelsea Market tour 3 years ago and thought it was great. On this tour we also got good information, but something was lacking that I just can't put my finger on. The food was very filling, in fact I was stuffed before the last two stops. The restauants were ones my husband and I would not have even considered, so we are glad we were exposed to the various ethnic foods. |

| This tour was awesome! You get so much food for the amount you pay. You definately don't need lunch and probably not dinner. The tastings are much more substantial than a taste. Our tour guide Susan was outstanding. I could hear her over the hustle and bustle of New York. She knew so much about the area and history and did an incredible job. The restaurants we sampled were extremely diverse from Indian to Italian to Cuban it was a great mix. I brought my parents from upstate who got to try many different types of cuisines and really learn history of the area. Even being a New Yorker I can't wait to go back and try these restaurants over the next few months. I would highly recommend this to Local New Yorkers if you're looking to find nice little gems to eat and drink as well as people who aren't familiar with the city. I feel as a local New Yorker sometimes there are so many places to eat and drink and go out it becomes overwhelming to come up with new ideas. This was a great tour because now I have a new list of places and foods to try over the next couple of months!!!
Thank you so much!!!! |

| I learned so much more than I would have on my own. The tour guide was fabulous, and the food we sampled was really the best of the best. |

| I have lived in NYC for almost two years now but there is so much about the city I don't know. I had friends visiting me and decided to go on my second food tour (the other one was the awesome West Village tour). Raheem was such an excellant and knowledgable tour guide that I felt that I learned something more about NYC and discovered some great new places to try out. It's a fun and unique way to introduce some-one to NYC and give them an "insider" perspective that they won't get on an ordinary tour. I love the tours! |

| I've taken other food tours and loved them. I wasn't as impressed with this one. There was less food tasting on this tour and a lot more history and walking to places that were not food orientated. I did leave with a good understanding of the area. |

| I travel to NYC quite often and I must say this is by far one of the most fun experiences I've had there. I would highly recommend it to any tourist or even people that live in NYC. Perfect mix of food and history. |

| I travel to NYC several times a year and usual make the effort to try one of the "non-toursity" tours. The small group, excellent guide, and delicious food make this tour a must, especially for someone who has been to the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, and all the other "first visit" experiences.
This was my third tour and I hope they keep adding more options.
It's a lot of walking and a lot of eating----hence...no guilt! |
