| My boyfriend and I are always looking for new and interesting places to dine. THis tour was great in pointing out new places with different menu options. The tour guide was very pleasant and upbeat. The food itself was good, although I can't say it was amazing. I wasn't impressed with the locations highlighted in the tour. I feel that maybe, because there was so much more that could have been discussed and too little time, the topics weren't too interesting. There were a lot of places the guide recommended that were not stops in the tasting. They sounded much more enticing and I feel a little cheated that they were not included. I would definitely recommend the tour to an out of town visitor, but as a person familiar to the city, I would say pass. You can find these places with a quick search. |

| A great way to learn about New York and happily eat our way through the process.
I think the only constructive criticism I would make would have been to try to order the tasting from"soup to nuts"-i.e. start with the appetizer type foods and end on a sweet. We started ith Indian egg roll type food, had several other noshes and ended with delicious pizza-it was just too much-perhaps a sweet from the same bakery would have been better.
I have recommended this to many friends-kind of an insider's way to get to know the city.

| Not a tour person nor is my boyfriend. But we had a great time and highly recommend it. Our guide was very enthusiastic and helpful with where to go after dinner. I felt like i had the inside scoop on where to go in Soho / Village. |

| This was our third tour.
The other Village tour had a lot more historic information while this tour combined history with more of visiting the area in the present. I can honestly say that both were equally enjoyable and very entertaining.
Learning about this part of the Village gave me some great ideas for return trips. The food was delicious, most of which I would not have tried on my own.
Growing up in New York and coming to the Village many times this was a totally new experience for me. I have moved out of the area but frequently visit NY and have not been in the village too often lately. This tour has provided me with a lot of great ideas for visits for myself and my husband as a weekend away, as well as visit with the kids.
Thanks for another great tour....we look forward to the new Culinary experiences!!! |

| Tour was great! I think out of the three tours (West Village and Chelsea) it was my favorite. Food was wonderful and lots of great history and just plain fun...had two 18 year olds with me and they liked it as well.
Hope to see more tours on the schedule in the future. See you soon! |

| Our tour guide, Barri, was incredibly knowlegeable about the history of Greenwhich Village and the SOHO area. Each tasting was DELICIOUS and well planned out! You get diverse tasting from Indian Kathi rolls to Greek yogurt. Our group of 3 spent the rest of the afternoon going back to make purchases from many of the shops! Our group also used the previous years' tour of Greenwhich village to make dinner reservations for this year's New York visit. Our group has attended every FoodTours tour and we hope they keep adding more!! But a repeat tour would be just as fun I am sure!!! We'll be back next year!!! |

| I have taken your other tours as well and they are all wonderful. This trip I also took another history tour that was recommended from a famous guide book and I have to tell you I learned so much more about the history of the area from your FOOD tour than her history tour it was unbelievable. I wish you would consider adding another tour as there were several on my tour that also had been on both of your other tours and were interested in more tours from your company as well. You are clearly the BEST!
P.S. Now that I am home, I sure am craving a beef pattie! |

| What a great tour!!! Raheem was very knowledgable as well as entertaining and enthusiastic. The tour of the Central Village/SoHo took us to many restaurants as well as one of a kind food stores. The food tastes were large and plentiful as well as varied. Even as a vegetarian, I was able to sample from every place but one, and an alternative was provided for me. The food was delicious. The information about the Village convinced me to return the next evening for dinner at one of the recommended restaurants. The food was delicious and exactly as Raheem described it. I look forward to visiting NYC again and taking another food tour. Thanks Raheem for making my visit exceptional and thanks to all the participating restaurants and stores. You provided good ole Southern hospitality to a girl from Kentucky. |

| We have now done all of the food tours and I have to say, I enjoyed the Soho/Central Village one the best, probably because as someone new to New York, it's a place a love the most. The guide was great with a rounded knowledge of the area. It was extremely hot and he did a great job of brining us into A/C and cooling us down with PB shakes at The Peanut Butter Company. We couldn't drink a beer after that, but it was nice to discover the bar he brought us into. We heard there will be another addition to the food tour and we can't wait! |
