| My 19 year old daughter and I chose this as our last hurrah of the summer. We both enjoyed it immensely. The tour covered a very diverse selection of food venues-restaurants, butcher, bakery, diff cultures etc. We will definitely go back to the restaurants for a full sit down meal soon. The guide was excellent; she relayed lots of interesting facts of history, culture and food . It is a great way to learn about a very interesting part of the city. Two thumbs up! | ||||||

Greenwich Village /Soho Food Tour was Fabulous

| I have recently attended the Central Village and Soho Food Tour. I had already attended the original Greenwich Village tour two years previous and thought that was well done. The Greenwich Village/ Soho Food Tour is even BETTER.. We sampled a larger spectrum of diverse foods which included a spicy vegetarian Indian wrap , an Italian pasta bolognese (they make their own pasta even), empanadas and yucca ( similar to a potato)at a Cuban restaurant which is the best I have ever had, Italian pepper sausage from an Italian butcher ( I went back and actually bought some to take home), a tasty zuchinni parmesian pizza (fantastic crust), and a poached pear /hazelnut chocolate dessert tart( the grand finale well worth waiting for). Our guide, Susan, was very knowledgeable providing us with a bit of history and fun facts about the area. It was a great opportunity to experience foods that I would never have thought of trying. I would definitely take this tour again the next time I go back to New York. | ||||||

| Nancy our guide was fantastic. Very warm and friendly, yet she kept us on track and gave us a lot of information about the area. Her selection of restaurants and stores along with the food choices were great. The pace of the tour was good for both the family with children as well as the older folks. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get their bearings in Greenwich Village as well as finding out about some wonderful restaurants that you would normally not even consider. The tour was worth every penny. We are already looking for a tour to take next year on our 2010 sojourn to NYC. | ||||||

| Kurt spent a few minutes with each group and made sure to include people (in a nice, welcoming way) throughout the tour. He provided an excellent blend of culinary expertise, with local history and interesting background to make it a FUN, interesting adventure. | ||||||

| My husband and I took this tour while taking a trip to NYC. This was probably one of the best things we have ever done on a vacation. Not only do you get to taste great foods from Greenwich Village, you also learn about the history of it and visit some beautiful areas. We went back two other nights to places that were recommended during the tour. This is a must do! | ||||||

| Living on Long Island my entire life and of course, frequently going to NYC, I never realized this jewel of an area existed in the Village. I sometimes could not believe we were in the city at all. All of the area foods were delicious and wonderfully presented. Our tour guide was well informed and kept our interest the whole time. What a uniquely delightful experience. | ||||||

| I recently have done 2 food tours through this company, the first was one in Chicago and this was the 2nd. Both were extremely excellent tours and I would recommend these to anyone who is willing to sample something new. The tour is 3 hrs long and is all walking, but you are constantly either eating or learning about the city around you. The tour guides are excellent and very enthusiastic. The tour is very intimate and they make a point of individually interacting with everyone on the tour. The main difference between the two tours was the amount of food. You are given whole servings and meals, but the Greenwich tour has a lot more little places, ie you sample cheese, cookies and candies. It is also more spread out through the tour and is very well paced. You feel full at the end, but it's a comfortable, content fullness. :) I will be taking these again when I travel to another city. | ||||||

| My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Greenwich Village. Our tour guide, Kirk, made the tour lots of fun with his enthusiasm and his accute knowledge of all the little "secret spots". The food tastings were awesomely good and the samples were more then adequate' as most of us were busting by the end of the tour wondering if we could eat another thing! While I had been in Greenwich Village many times before this was like seeing it for the first time. Don't miss this tour, and definately see if Kirk can be your guide. He is as much fun as the tour with his humourous comments and quips. | ||||||

Summer Day Well Spent in Chinatown
|

| Exploring Chinatown on a summer's day with a food & cultural guide was a wonderful day well spent! Raheem, our tour guide was very well versed in Chinese culture & food, patient, kind and humorous. He knew the area intricately and was enthusiastic in relaying this information to the group. I recommend this tour - highly educational & entertaining. This is the 2nd neighborhood tour we have experienced with FoodTours in NYC and am looking forward to the next NY neighborhood. By the way, the food was excellent and plentiful!!! | ||||||

food and facts

| Food was the focus of the tour with fun facts and history of the neighborhood as an accent. As a local for the past 23 years, and a once short-term resident of Chinatown, I still learned something. Our guide Raheem was fun, knowledgeable and knew his audience well. He made everyone in the group feel welcome and comfortable, with the food, the neighborhood, and each other. The food stops were interesting and varied. Chinatown seems less daunting to me now. | ||||||

| Raheem, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He provided a delicious and highly informative glimpse into one of New York's most vital and fascinating neighborhoods. In addition to the excellent fare, our tour was replete with invaluable facts about history, local culture, and etiquette. I would recommend this to both tourists and locals. | ||||||

| The shops in the Greenwich Village neighborhood are now more familiar and will be on the list of places to visit again. Enjoyed the historical education, the stories of the neighborhood and, of course, tasting the foods. Wish we had been issued a doggie bag so the overabundance could have been safely taken home to enjoy at a leisurely pace. There was no need to eat dinner and the walking only marginally used up the calorie intake. Great tour guide! | ||||||
