Central Village/SoHo Food & Culture Tour

Four of us took this tour on our annual Spring weekend in NYC. We had had great experiences on the Chelsea Market/Meatpacking District & Greenwich Village tours the past couple of years, so we were looking forward to this one. We were not disappointed. Raheem, our tour guide, was fabulous. He was extremely knowledgeable, very friendly & outgoing. The food at each stop along the way was fabulous. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. It is a great way to tour a neighborhood, learn the history, and enjoy fabulous food. We made notes about restaurants we will want to visit the next time we come to NYC. We would never know about these places without having had the opportunity to take this tour, as well as, the others. We've recommended these tours to many other people who then went on the tour and loved them as much as we did. It's a wonderful way to spend an afternoon in NYC! Thank you so much for a wonderful experience. Loved it!

Best way to get to know some unique restraurants, known by locals, which is one reason the people visit NYC.

My wife and are in our early 50's. I grew up in NY but we do not live there now. The tour of the Village and its restaurants was just as informative and fun for me as it was for her. We would highly recommend this tour for everyone.

The tour was interesting and the food thoroughly enjoyable. Rahim was a wonderful and informative tour guide. This is the second food tour I have taken and plan to do them all. You do not go away hungry! This is a great way to learn about the city and places to go back to when you just want to go in for a meal. I highly recommend this tour.

We were VERY impressed with the quality and diversity of the food tastings. As a Manhattanite, I eager took business cards from the restaurants to plan my own future visits. Our guide was pleasant, though I think her information on local history, architecture and culture could have been more extensive. The visit to the basement of the theatre Wha's Up was a waste of time. A narrow staircase to a dark room that looked like any other dark room.

I enjoyed the tour however thought it was spent too much on about 3 streets. Also felt that it really did not include SOHO. We just went to the edge at the end of the tour, however I would recommend it.

Rahim was great! He knew so much history of the area and the influences that shaped the unique culture that exists there. In addition, the man knows food!!! We returned to the area the next day and again another evening later in the week as a direct result of what we learned on the tour. We will definitely recommend it to our friends who travel to NYC. The only negative was that our tour was originally scheduled on a different day and for some reason was changed. We were notified ahead and were still able to reschedule for another day during our trip. Unfortunately, as a result one of our party was unable to attend. However, we were able to get a refund without a problem, which was appreciated. Thanks, Rahim!

Tour guide was really great. She clearly loves what she does and has emotional ties to the neighborhood of Greenwich Village. These make her the perfect choice for this position. The food samplings were wonderful. I would go again anytime I am back in New York.

We all really enjoyed the food tour. The guide was dynamic and informed. The food was great and we were pleased that we got more than a little taste at each place. When we come back to NY, we will definitely try one of the other tours.

WOW! The tour was fantastic! We had a warm , sunny day for Rahim to introduce us to the foods , sights and secrets of the Central Village and SoHo. The food was delicious and the history behind each place we passed or stopped at made the tour the special experience that it was. We met people from all parts of the country and Europe. We are already planning an early summer visit to SoHo, so we can return to the restaurants and night spots. Another FoodTour will also be on our list of THINGS WE MOST DO in NYC. We ENTHUSIASTICALLY RECOMMEND this tour!!
