| 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. |

| 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. |

| This tour was exactly what we wanted. We had a chance to sample street food in the coolest part of town and the historical commentary on the area put everything into context. The food choices were brave and they didn't try to "dumb down" the experience for masses, which I really appreciated. I will never forget Frank at Joe's Dairy or the lovely mushroom pasta we were surprised with at that Italian grocery store I can't remember the name of.
Susan (our guide) was great. She was energetic and informative and best of all, she was a foodie!
Good job, guys! The tour was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to New York and we'll definitely be back for another tour with you when we come back. |

| The food tastings where really good.
But our guide talked a bit too much so we was late on the route and had to rush some tastings and didn't get through the whole tour.
The heavy rain made some of the tour a very wet experiense. |

| The tour was great!!! It was something that my friends and I were looking forward to and we were not at all disappointed. The days after we were still talking about our expereince.
The only suggestion I will give is to formulate a balance time separation during each tasting. Some tastings were too close together while another seem to be far off. Beside that the experience is one to be enjoyed with family and friends. It makes the experience even more exciting and memorable. |

| Susan was an excellent guide. We learned much. The tastings were very good and fun. I plan on doing this tour again when I bring each of my other children for a visit to the city over the next two years. Thank you |

| Susan is a very knowledgeable tour guide, who seems to really love Greenwich Village. My daughter and I enjoyed the stop at Cuba the best, because of the wonderful Sangria and Mojitos. |

| My husband and I were celebrating our 39th wedding anniversary and had already done many typical outings; events, dinners, trips etc. I went on the West Village Tour last August and loved it and thought this would really appeal to my husband. He loves history, architecture and food!
The tour guide was awesome (Susan)...very knowledgeable and friendly. The size of the group (16) was good...it was easy to hear everything. The food tastings were wonderful and we will go back to several of the restaurants for a meal.
All in all, it was a great value. The tastings provide plenty of food and served as a lunch. The amount of walking is just right and the length of the tour is also good.
I would recommend this highly to anyone who wants to have a more hands on approach to investigating New York City. |

| Susan, the guide, is very prepared and explained a lot of real interesting things. The sites chosen for food tasting are a little bit too much of Italian, we think there is also else. |
