| We thoroughly enjoyed the tour...the great picks for food sampling, the wonderful tidbits of information about the neighborhood, the guide's obvious appreciation for, and personal history with, the area. This walking tour is the best way to see, hear, touch, smell and taste the neighborhood...to soak it all in.
Only suggestions would be to try harder to end on time and be able to give quick directions to the nearest subway, trains, etc., especially since the tour didn't end where it began. |

| Raheen is quite loquacious and full of quirky details about the Village and Soho. The spicey peanut butter was "WOW". |

| Raheem our guide did an outstanding job! I have been on the Chelsea Market and Greenwich Village tour and enjoyed both very much, but Raheem made this trip! His knowledge of the area was unbelievable. The food was also interesting, but the information on the area was definitely the best part of the tour. |

| An amazing tour of the area -- combination of history, culture, architecture and, most important -- great food. Our guide was not only knowledgable about the food and area, he was passionate about it. This is something I would recommend to anyone traveling to NYC. |

| Four of us went on the SoHo/Greenwich Village tour, expecting to visit 8 sites and sample food. WRONG!! We were in for the treat of a lifetime with our guide, Raheem. For over three hours we walked the streets of Greenwich Village and SoHo and learned history, architecture, culture, and all the hints of where to go, when to go, and what is special. As I feverishly took notes, I tried to mentally plan when we could come back for a few days so I could take advantage of the night time jazz and music scene, re-eat all the foods on the tour, and dine in the other restaurants we passed. We were given so much more on this tour than we expected. . .both in food for the body and food for the soul!! And by the way, the foods on the tour were a true treat, and we did return that evening to eat at one of the establishments we had visited. We were very warmly welcomed. All in all, I would highly recommend this tour, and try to choose a glorious April Saturday like we did!! |

| Our guide was enthusiastic and knowledgable, the food was excellent and well worth knowing about. We have done all three available tours and, because of this, we now feel quite at home in the Village and make for our favourite food stores and restaurants whenever we come to town. We eagerly await the tour of Chinatown. |

| I went with two of my friends on this food tour. The guide was energetic and knew a lot about the neighborhood and the food. We stopped at eight great places. The food stops were spread out enough that I didn't get too full so I was able to enjoy everything.
That evening I went back with a friend to one of the restaurants we stopped at and had a delicious meal.
Definitely a great way to learn about the neighborhood and eat at the same time. |

| Rahim was our tour guide and he was fantastic. Clearly knowledgeable and definitely came off like a pro, even though he'd only been doing this a few months. Also, he has a great relshp with the food vendors in the neighborhood, so it was really great to see that there are real people behind these establishments! Places we went to were great, as was the food at each. It was a good amount of food (not too much, not too little, fairly well spaced-out).
My only critique would be that it would be even better to make it a slightly smaller group (like a group of 10-12) so that we would be able to actually physically go in to some of these places (we got to go into some, but not all).
Otherwise, food tour was great, and I am definitely considering going on another. And kudos to Rahim - he was fabulous! |

| Loved it! Our guide, Rahim (sp?) was knowledgeable, personable, and fun. It was nice that he had experience with the restaurants we tasted at and seemed to know the proprieters well. The food was great! Cultural and historical info was very interesting! It was a little long (and cold), but otherwise thoroughly enjoyable! |
