| The 3 hour food tour with Rahim our guide was enjoyable. He was funny and articulate. The tour not only introduces some of the best restaurants in town but also history about the area. This is a good value for money and I would recommend to anyone who loves food. We have indeed visited a few places the tour covered which were not recommended by any printed guidebooks. |

| This was the 3rd tour we've taken with Foods of New York and, as with the other two, we have been very impressed with the selections of places visited and variety of foods offered. Our tour guide (Susan) was very knowledgeable about not only the eateries, local shops and night spots, but the history of the buildings and local lore. I would highly recommend any of these tours to visitors to New York as well as to "locals" who, like us, might not be aware of the area's history and all that is offered in the Village and Soho. |

| The tour was terrific, both for relatively new residents of the area and for our out-of-town guests. The guide was friendly, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. The food tastings were excellent and filling. We went back for dinner at one of the places a couple of nights later. Be warned, though, the tour is long and there is very little opportunity to sit down. So be prepared and take the chances to sit when you get them! |

| I enjoyed the tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and sampling the food was fun. However, I would recommend slowing the walking pace. Also, the Greenwich Village tour had more foods to sample so I would recommend more foods to sample on this tour as well. Thank you! |

| This tour gives you a real sense of the varied past to the eclectic present. Centuries later it continues to hold a strong bond to its past. The food was all delightful. I tried many things I would never have thought to try. Very filling--come hungry. |

| Susan was a terrific host; she possessed great knowledge of the area and was enthusiastic about all the foods and the sites we visited. The pace and the length of the tour was just right. I would do another food tour in a New York minute. |

| We have been to New York a few times and were looking for something different than the "typical" tours. A native New Yorker actually recommended the tour and we were thrilled. It was just up our alley~ food, culture, and history. The tour exceeded our expectations. We look forward to returning to New York and participating in a different neighborhood tour. We have been recommending it to everyone we tell about our great trip~ tourists and locals alike! |

| Four college friends visiting from MS. Rahim was the best! He knew so much about the area and about the different cuisine. He made it fun and we will look for another tour with him on future trips to NYC! Thanks to him for making our venture thru these new cultures so enjoyable! The pizza at Grandaisy was wonderful and we tried Monte's the next night and it was even better than our tasting!
Thank you! |

| Our guide was very energetic and knowledgeable about the area and the locations that we were touring. Would do it again and would encourage others take the tour.
Thank you from Indiana |
