| I enjoyed this tour, however the tour guide made it sound a little too much like an advertisement for some of the restaurants that we visited - made me wonder what kind of kick backs he was getting. Also, it could have been shortened by about 30 mins (perhaps by cutting down on some of the advertising). |

| We did both tours and enjoyed them both greatly. I tell people that the highlight of our week in New York City was the broadway plays and your walking tours. The food was an excellent addition. I can now tell people that we ate at New York's finest! |

| This tour was great. Really informative. And the great food stores and places to eat were great. I loved this tour and the Chelsea tour. Do both. |

| I enjoyed the tour very much, but the only thing I was a little turned off was by the hardsell on some of the restaurants and shops. I thougt our tour guide, Rebecca, was terrific. She did a good job of keeping a somewhat large group together and was gracious about getting the food samples distributed. I know this wasn't an architectural tour but I would have liked a little bit more info on the local architecture and history. I will definitely recommend the tour to my friends. It certainly is a new way to see NY neighborhoods. And if it works out on my next trip I would like to take the other tour you offer. |

| I really enjoyed this walking tour. I have taken some before from other companies in NYC, but this one stands out because of it's small size. Our tour guide, Mike, was very knowledgeable and made and effort to get to know us on a personal level. Learned some interesting facts about the village!
The only downside was that there wasn't as much food as I was expecting. It says on the website that there is enough food so you don't need a lunch, but I was still very hungry when we were done. |

| First trip to NYC and my daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would recommend spreading out the food tasting as the tour started at 11:30 and we had a cheese and olive tasting and then an Italian rice ball, but most of the real filling food came near the end of the tour. But again, very worth it. Very informative. |

| Loved the tour. The flexibility of incorporating the unexpected eg a visit into a private home, interaction with local identities. Allow plenty of time tour lasted 4 hours plus 1 hour at wine tasting. 3 hour tour became 5 1/2 hours. Food was magnificant, sorry was at end of NY stay and didn't have time to go back to the restaurants. Recommend to do early in your NY stay. |

| It was great. Our tour guide, Mike, was nice and funny. He would tell us about the architecture, the people of the neighborhood, the history of some restaurants... we even had the opportunity to get in one of the houses, which was rented by a friend of Mikes.
The food was great, really great! We had different kinds of breads, cheeses and olives, we had pizza, falafel, kebab, chocolate, canole... by the end of the tour we couldn't eat any more. And the weather, the company, the group, the food, everything was so nice that we ended up having a 4-hour tour, instead of a 3-hour.
I sincerely recommend it. The atmosphere of the village is amazing!

| One of the best values in the city, the only sad part was when the tour was over! We saw places, and tasted foods we never would have found on our own. We've told friends to make sure they do this trip on their first or second day so they have time to revisit some of the stops before they go home. Rebecca was the best!!!
Thanks Trent |
