| My brother and I are from Australia and we took this tour which recomended by a friend.
Firstly the wealth of knowledge Diana possessed on the area along with the her easy goingand friendly nature, made for one of the best activities I did whilst on holidays in NYC. Diana continually provided relevant information, facts, figures, and wonderful direction.
It was nice that we joined a small group on the day. It was easy to keep pace with Diana. Diana never once showed impatience or lack of interest. The group was captivated and engrossed by her teaching. The food tastings presented to us were a fantastic choice. The cafe, restaurant or business visited were warm, friendly and inviting.
Overall I was very impressed with the tour. I would highly recommend it to others (as it was recommended to me).
Please thank Diana for a brilliant day.

| This is my second village tour w/ you. Both tours have been the highlights of my NYC trips. I have recommended this tour to my father and several others that will be traveling to the city. The next time I visit I plan to the last of the three tours! The food has always been great as were the food guides. We always end filling delightfully full and have many more ideas of places to eat on our own when we return for dinner! |

| The tour was not only informative, but fun! I can't wait to go back to the area to try some of the dining suggestions. My 15 year old daughter and 13 year old friend did NOT want to go on the tour but admitted later they would go on another one. They also liked the choice of samples! Raheem was full of information and suggestions, he also had a nice edge to his comments so it did not seem like a "guided" tour. After the tour we went back to 3 of the small stores for snacks and purchases to take home. I cannot think of a negative regarding the tour. |

| Can you imagine spending a 4-day weekend in New York City with 6 of your favourite people? And to add to the fun, spending 3 hours with a great tour guide called Raheem! This was truly an enjoyable experience, sampling different ethnic foods while learning about the history and culture of 2 distinct areas of the city.
I especially liked the Indian food and the Jamaican patties (so good, we bought extra ones to take back to the hotel). Thank you for a great time. Raheem. You're very good at what you do. One last thing, can you please say hi to the wonderful staff at the Monte's restaurant (Guido, Thomas and the chef Pietro) for a memorable meal and a great evening on Saturday night! |

| My husband and I decided to take the tour as part of an anniversay weekend in the city. Our tour guide, Diana, was very knowledgeable about the areas we visited and we tried lots of good food. We couldn't wait to go back to many of the stores after the tour to buy some of the foods we had tasted. I learned a lot about parts of Greenwich Village and SoHo and loved trying several ethnic foods that I had never had before. The tour was great. |

| My adult daughter and I decided to take this tour because she is a culinary craftsman and enjoys all sorts of different foods. I was so pleased we had done this tour. Our tour guide was quite knowledgeable and patient and managed to keep everyone interested for the 2+ hours of our adventure through the streets of SOHO and the Village. She spoke well and shared so many interesting history tidbits and local flavor facts/legends which simply added to the entire experience. I even got to try foods I would never have tried on my own and I discovered that I enjoyed that whole "going out of the box with foods" thing. My daughter and I both were quite pleased and felt we certainly got our money's worth. |

| What a great experience my husband and I had on this tour! Everything about it was enjoyable. We learned so much, ate a perfect amount, and walked a great deal. Keep in mind that all the food is eaten while standing, so don't expect a steak dinner or a buffet line. Plus, not every place you go into will be a "food" stop -sometimes it's just good enough to smell the scents or see the inside to plan future visits. Just when we thought the tour was coming to an end, more food came our way. We learned lots of history about the area and our guide was so pleasant. We would recommend this tour to anyone that doesn't mind eating on the run, is okay with walking, and likes to try new things! |

| Definitly a good experience for really getting to know the city and taste food you normally wouldn't. |
