Knowledgable Guides

| Knowledgable guides gave insight into the neighborhood as well as informed descriptions of the culinary opportunities that were highlights of the tour. The neighborhood (if not the tour) will be on my itinerary the next time I visit NYC. I will definitely recomment the tour to others. I look forward to full meals in a number of the restaurants that were pointed out. | ||||||

| We really enjoyed the tour. I didn't realize we would be eating so much!! My daughter, who is a chef, wanted to move into Murray's Cheese Shop! It was a great time. I will certainly do another Foods of New York tour the next time I'm in town. | ||||||

| Our tour guide was absolutely delightful giving a sense of history to the food and the place. The weather was perfect as was the experience. I almost wish that the tour could have been extended to include MacDougal street area towards NYU and Washington Square. | ||||||

| Kurt the guide was quite the catch. He was organized, memorized every first name sucessfully from the start (I would guess there were 14 of us) and could easily engage in both personal and professonal discussions with detail and humor. The descriptions of places, history, restaurants, and selections of food were quite good. I would recommend this to anyone --it was a great way to spend three hours and have a "grazing" style of lunch. This tour is not wheelchair compatable. | ||||||

| i knew we would eat some good munchies - and indeed we did enjoy the food. But i was completely thrilled with how much we learned and laughed. Even as a local new yorker, i saw blocks i never knew of, and learned about architecture and the history of new york. To top that off - our tour guide Kurt was just hilarious. He was so knowledgeable regarding food, it's preparation and it's presentation. But he was also a high-energy smooth-talking comedian. He knocked Leonardo and Cher, but in a tasteful sarcastic manner - so as not to offend our polite out of towners! He was friendly and sincere with the store owners and really made us feel like insiders. I would recommend this tour to anyone who likes to smile and eat - whether you are from south dakota or soho. the one thing to be aware - bring your lactaid pills if you need to - most tastings have some dairy in them and when you are in the vip room of murrays cheese shop with a small group of strangers - you don't want to make enemies with your emissions! Great job Kurt, Foods of new york - and Zerve - for telling me about this tour when i really was calling to book a magic show! | ||||||

| Curt set the bar extremely high for any future guided tours. We were thoroughly impressed and the experience far exceeded our expectations. His knowledge, style and demeanor made what might have been ok, just fantastic. He made the tour very enjoyable and interesting. We felt it was a good value, fell in love with Greenwich Village and, how could I forget, the food tasting was awesome. We would very highly recommend the tour to others. | ||||||

| The guide was outgoing, knowlwdgable and freindly, although somehat opinionated about local politics and community issues. Although a very good tour for me, my spouse did not like some of the food tasted such as the smoked mzzarella cheese. Overall avery good experience and an excellent manner to learn more about the city noeighborhoods. We would do this again! | ||||||

| A work colleageue in SF recommended this tour. I am from SF, my friend who I was visiting, lives on Long Island. We loved it and Sam our tour guide was great, very personable and enthusiastic. I didn't know anything about the Chelsea Market, and since I Iove to cook and eat , it was right up my ally. We both loved hearing about the history of the market and surrounding area. We also loved the treats served along the way. I would highly recommend this to a local or an out of towner. In fact, my New York friend is thinking about doing this as a birthday celebration with some of her girlfriends. I only suggest that you come hungry, as you will fill up on some very tasty food during the afternoon. It's a great way to spend an afternoon in NY, particularly if you are a return visitor to Manhattan, looking for something different, or a local wishing to learn more about the area. | ||||||

| What a great combination of neighborhood cultural/historical information and ethnic neighborhood food. Rahim, our guide, clearly knew the neighborhood and enthusiastically told personal and other stories. We were treated to food experiences that we would otherwise never have found. Take the tour at the beginning of your time in New York, because you find lots of places you will want to go back to for food and entertainment. We did, and we did! | ||||||

| Raheim was our guide. What a great guy and very knowledgable. Raheim had some BIG shoes to fill. Our other guide has been Cindy, who was wonderful as well! We recommend these tours without a question! Thanks for being in business and continued success to you all. Suzanne | ||||||
