| What a beautiful day to be in NY for a Food Tour! Cool,sunny,clear skies!This was planned as one of my bday outing, perfect for an aspiring chefy! Being in NY,great weather,friends,family, and FOOD... what more can you ask for ? It was one of my best birthday outings by far. This was something new to do to celebrate other than our usual routine of lounge/bar hopping. My friends and family enjoyed every minute of the tour! The food was excellent. Our tour guide Rahim was great. I just love being around people who speak food and culture with such enthusiasm and passion! He gave us tons of info on these hidden treasures of SoHo that we wouldnt have known about ! We always go into the city and live so close! We are definitely heading back to check them out again.Now, I think I have more appreciation with the people in this area of NY, jealous they live in the middle of town so rich w/culture food and history! I'm looking forward to go to Rahim's Sushi tour in Sept. and your other food tours! LOVE IT. Thanks again! -Kat- |

| We learned some general information about the area (cultural, historical, etc.) and how it came to be, as well as sampling some fantastic food along the way. I would have found it helpful and interesting to learn more details about the history of the area. Our tour guides were very cheerful and enthusiastic, and showed the utmost respect and pride for their neighbourhood. My only misgiving is that we didn't do the tour at the beginning of our trip, because I would have loved to have visited some of the restaurants that we learned about during our tour. |

| Bob, our guide, was delightful. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He made the Chelsea Market come alive with history, interesting facts.
Negative: Not really enough tastings. (Compared to other tours.)

| What a great afternoon excursion into such an interesting part of Manhattan - both historically/culturally and from the food perspective! The delicious and diverse foods tasted coupled with the knowledge and passion of our guide, Barri, made this tour one of the highpoints of our trip. |

| the guide was very knowledgeable and gave out really good information. The food was just more than a bite, very substantial helpings, and I think most persons did not have lunch. I also liked the handout with all the names and addresses and bios on some of them. Best handout I have been given in a long long time. |

| It was a wonderful day when we went, so check the weather close to the date. Wear comfortable shoes also, there's a lot of walking involved. Our guide Rahim was well versed in the local foods as well as the history of the area, very much recommended. |

| Our group consisted of 50+parents and 3 grown children. We, the parents, live out of town and our children are City dwellers. Even they learned new things about their adopted City and loved the recommendations for places to dine and purchase food that they did not know about. We thoroughly and equally enjoyed the cultural/historical and food tasting aspects of the tour. Rahim was the perfect guide and made the 3 hours fly by. We loved the varied and diverse food offerings which were all as fresh as they could possibly be. We'll definitely be back to tour another area. |
