| Fantastic. Great value. Best money spent in NYC. We learned so much - and use our new found foodie knowledge every time we come back. We attended on a Friday and loved it so much we went back to five of the places on Saturday. I wish there was one for every neighborhood. Our guide, Raheem was extremely knowledge, funny and very personable. Thank you!! |

| Our guide Raheem was knowledgable, enthusiastic and funny! We (mother and 3 adult daughters) had a very enjoyable afternoon learning about the Central Village and Soho. If your a "foodie" and would like to learn about the fabulous restaurants in the area this tour is a must! |

| The tour and guide where great, the food was ok I would say that you need more places you go in and sit down, standing out side on the street was not what I expected. Also of of the food was very small, good but not much. |

| We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and wholeheartedly recommend it to one and all. It has only been two days since our tour and I have already spoken to many friends and co-workers about it and am looking forward to a future tour.
Our host was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about New York, its history and many wonderful foods available during the tour. He was the perfect person for the job, very attentive to his group.
The amount of food was OK ... but I was still hungry at the end. We immediately went back to several of the eateries in our tour package. (The Pumpkin Raviolis with Genovese sauce with walnuts is out of this world!)
Definitely worth the price! |

| Rahim was an entertaining tour guide, telling us stories about SoHo and Central Village's history, the restaurants we visited, as well as the architecture. He did a great job weaving together stories about the area together with stories about the food. What I particularly appreciated, as a foodie, was the level of detail he gave about what made the food at the restaurants so good. And the smoked mozzarella from Joe's Dairy--YUM! The only thing I could critique the tour for is the amount of food -- I would like to have tried samples from more restaurants Rahim talked about during the tour.
It definitely beats going on the more typical tours. And it something both locals and visitors will enjoy. I highly recommend it! |

| Our tour guide Rahim was amazing and very knowledgeable and enthusiastic.
I learned so many things about the village and soho that I never knew before and I"m a local!
He was so amazing in his ability to recount funny stories, tibits and anecdotes about his experiences in the village as well!
I loved the places we visited and I will definitely recommend this tour to everyoone and him as he made the experience so wonderful.
It was nice that this was not only a food tour but a cultural/architecture slant with it as well. |

| It rained during our entire walking tour, but the rain did not take much away from the wonderful experience we had. We are a little familiar with the area, or so we thought .... Our guide Rahim was perfect. He knew so much about the area and talked about it with a lot of knowledge and I would say passion. A great sence of humour, too. Everything we tried was so tasty. There was a lot of variety and EVERYTHING was delicious. We ended up retracking our steps and visiting a couple of places after the tour and sampling their food (wonderful tarts and some more of the amazing sausage, which came back home with us). We have made a note of a few places for our future visits ... You think you know the area and then you go on a tour like this ..... |

| Our tour guide was perfect, we met up with six crazy family members in New York, this was the best place to start our week of enjoying family, we share your tour with everyone. I am looking forward to doing the China Town & Seafood Tour soon, with our same guide.... or we no can do, he was just simply a great inspiration to us all. |
