Central Village/SoHo Food & Culture Tour

activity photo

Sample tasty treats from ethnic, old-school eateries in two distinct areas - one colorful and exciting, the other surprisingly quaint.

What a way to end our 7 day NY adventure...too bad we did not do this at the beginning in order to return to some of the venues. We are still talking about our experience! Our guide was enthusiastic, informative, and accommodating:) His expertise of the area was outstanding. We highly recommend this walking and tasting tour to anyone who enjoys history, culture and delicious food. Our only regret was we had time to attend only one of the many foods tours offered.

Beyond Expectations

Our Central Village/ SoHo tour was way better than any food tour I have taken previously (other cities). Not only did we have comprehensive and generous tastings from a variety of excellent ethnic restaurants , we also got historical and architectural insights that enhanced our experience. Our guide was friendly, informative, energetic, and respectful. I heartily recommend this tour.

We loved this tour and would highly recommend it. Raheim(sp?) was informative, enthusiastic and funny. The food was incredible and we wish we could have gone back to some of the restaurants for a full meal. We will have to plan another trip. The portions were also generous. Much better than the ones for the Greenwich Village tour. I was still hungry after that one. So if go to NYC, definitely go on this tour.

I found that tour to be one of the best things I ever did in New York city. I plan on booking another tour with my boyfriend within the next 2 months. The food was fantastic and the historical info was fascinating. This tour was well worth the time and money.

went on this tour with a girlfriend as a B-day gift. Raheem (sp) was our tour guide and he was great. Very energetic and even funny at times. He shared a lot of interesting facts. Overall, the tour was very informative and the food was great. A lot to learn, even for the "locals". I would recommend this tour to anyone, especially if you have a palate for ethnic food/flavor.

TOO MUCH TALKING
Thu, Jul 2, 09   12:30 PM AMYBROMHEAD Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
We enjoyed the food on this tour and some of the historical tour info, BUT this could have been cut by 1 hour. We went to many restaurants that our tour guide enthusiastically told us about, but we did not eat there. We did thoroughly enjoy the variety of food, and would not have known about it without the tour, but it was just too much talking! I would not do this same tour again, but would like to do the other food tours.

In addition to making me a completely happy foodie, this tour was entertaining and educational about history, art and the area's local culture.
