| Our guide was amazing. You could tell that he honestly enjoyed what he was doing and also enjoyed the places that he toured with us. We actually returned for dinner at one of the restaurants (Monte's) and stopped by a club (Cafe Wha?) for drinks and entertainment. I would highly reccommend this tour. |

| we were a group of 3 college friends meeting in NYC from 3 different states. all women, all 49. this was an outstanding activity! we left thinking we were undercharged :) Raheem could not have done a better job. Very knowledgeable about the area also very enthusiastic about the area. you can tell he loves his job. if we meet in NYC again, would without a doubt pick another tour to take. if this was available in another city, i would purchase tickets. Raheem also tried to keep us out of the way of the locals so we did not get in their way (as best as he could) and did this in a pleasant way. we did still however seem to anger a few locals who made snide comments to the group. really don't think anything could be done to avoid this. |

| We had only been in the city for a couple of days, we new that New York was known for some fantastic eateries and we wanted to experience them.
We checked a number of reviews on the Trip Advisor, Zerve had excellent reviews.
After much deliberation we decided on the Central Village / SoHo food tour, it was everything we expected and more.
Not only were we informed of great food and get to taste the local produce, we were also informed of the history of the local area.
The following day we ventured back to Central Village area and had dinner at the Italian Restaurant on the tour, because the food sampled was so good.
This is an amazing food tour and would recommend international and domestic visitors who love food to seriously consider the Central Village / SoHo tour.
Thanks for an amazing time.

| Our guide, Raheem, was so enthusiastic about the area, and told us some really interesting/funny/quirky things about the area you would never have got from a guide book. I loved seeing this side of life in NY city.
The food was also great, fab choice of different cultures and ethnicities all mixed into one area made for a really great tour. The venues were all hospitable too, even though they must have the same tour every day. Great value for all that food!
I have told all of my friends about this tour, and our guide, since returning home to London. We are even looking at similar tours in London as we dont know as much about the areas here as we now do about soho and the village!
I would heartily recommend this tour to anyone going to NYC and will look out for similar tours when I visit other cities as it has opened my eyes to the possibilities of food/info/laughs all rolled into one!
This was one of the higlights of our trip, even though we were walking in a foot of snow! The frostbite on my toes didnt put us off. Amazing!
Go on this tour, you will not regret it.

| This tour is the best way to experience the city - walking around, seeing the sites, and listening to interesting stories about the neighborhood and establishments - all while eating great food. Tour guide (Mr. Z) was tops! Can't wait to visit another part of the city with this food tour company. |

| We had a group of 4, we were always able to sit together. We enjoyed our guide, he was very interested in all of us, where we came from. He had a wonderful sense of humor and definetly knew his history. I loved the food, it was amazingly delicious and I loved all of the restaurants. I can't wait to join another tour. I have told many of my friends and I know that they will come. I also thought the price was wonderful. Thank you for such a great time. Grateful for the day, guide, food and all Pip Fritzsche |

| This is our second tour with Foods of New York and it was as terrific as our first. Our guide, Rahim, was exceptional and the food was amazing. We discovered outstanding restaurants and specialty shops that we probably would never have known about otherwise. Even our 19 year old daughter had a great time! |

| My daughter and son live in Brooklyn. I was visiting from Minnesota and have been on one of the other Food and Culture tours so wanted to take my daughter on another since she had the day off work. This one was excellent!!!! The food picks were exceptional - we went back to one of them for dinner with the 3 more people 2 days later! We also returned to 2 more of the vendors to purchase foods as a result of the tour. The history of the central village was a huge draw for us as well. Raheem (sorry if I murdered the spelling!!!) was excellent - his knowledge and passion for the area were infectious and made for a tour that went way too fast! Thanks! I've been on many Zerve tours and look forward to returning again. |
