| This is the second year we have done a cultural food tasting walking tour - last year we did the Greenwich Village area one - and we would definitely do it again. The tour guide was informed, funny and gracious. The tastings were fantastic and just having the background information as you go adds so much to the experience. Well done! | ||||||

| I took my mother on the tour when she came into the city for a weekend. Last time she visited she went on the West Village tour and loved it. I've lived in the neighborhood for about a year and was thrilled to see what was behind the doors I generally breeze past. I loved visiting the little mom and pop stores and restaurants and sampling the yummy food! Susan was really great with everyone--learning the names of everyone in the group within minutes and sharing fantastic little details and stories about the streets I walk daily. The selection of tastings was very broad, the service was prompt and the food was delicious! Loved it! | ||||||

| We had a great time on the tour, we learned a lot about the neighborhood, things you would never know by just walking around on your own. And... the food was great, especially the Indian Bread Company :-). | ||||||

| It was so awesome to get to tour Greenwcih Village with a guide that was so knowledgeable. We got to taste food from great little restaurants and food shops.We also got history and facts about the area. The combination of food tasting and factoids was just right. I highly recommend this tour. (ask for Susan as your tour guide) | ||||||

| I enjoyed seeing the neighborhood and hearing about its history. The food, though, was less interesting than I expected. The Greenwich Village and Chelsea Market tours offered better selections. | ||||||

| This was our second tour; we did the Central Village tour last Thanksgiving it was with Cindy and it was fantastic). Our guide (Rahim..sp??) was wonderfully enthusiastic and humorous, BUT, he kept callings the group "guys" WAY too many times, as in "OK, guys, let's go here" or "Hey, guys, this is a really great place....". Also, we had two run-ins with neighbors. They were silly/stupid/inappropriate locals, BUT, it appeared to us that Rahim was too confrontational with them. It felt awkward. Also, some of his neighborhood facts/comments were not correct. I'm by no means an NYC expert, but he'd say things that I knew simply were not true from a common sense standpoint. For instance, he told us that St. Anthony's Church (1860's) was the oldest parish in NYC. That's not true...it's the oldest parish in NYC specifically serving the Italian community.....the plaque says so. Lastly, it just felt that much of his recommendations were advertising for places along the route rather than discussions on food diversity and availability. It's hard to describe what made it seem that way, but it just did! Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed it and will do another one of your food tours on our next visit. | ||||||

| My husband and I were an hour late for the Greenwich tour due to rain and a transportation delay. We arrived in Greenwich Village, and had no clue as to how to catch up with the tour. We called the provided phone number, and a lovely woman guided us by phone along the rainy streets of the village. She did not abandon us until we found our guide Marie ! It was probably a 15-20 minute time period ! Now that's customer service! Well, Marie couldn't have made us feel more welcome! She made every attempt to catch us up on the info and food tastings that we missed. She even went back to the restaurants and shops that we missed and retrieved some food samples for us.. Bravo to Marie, who was fighting a cold on that rainy day and, still provided us with one of the most enjoyable experiences that we had on our New York visit. | ||||||

| We are oringinally from NYC have lived in CT for the past 31 yrs. Decided to take your tour without knowing anything about the tour or your company. We had a delightful time Marie our guide was full of knowledge about the village and we enjoyed all of the stops we made Great idea to give out the coupons. I have told my family and friends what a wonderful time we had and they are looking forward to taking a tour. I felt it was a great time. | ||||||

| In spite of rainy weather, Heather, our guide provided us with a great experience. Her enthusiasm was just what was needed on a bad weather day. The combination of learning about the area and its architecture with the food tastings made the 3 hours fly by. It made all 5 of us want to return to some of the restaurants and food shops and also to go on one of the other food tours. | ||||||

| When the tour ended, I went with a couple from the tour shopping and for coffee at a couple of the places mentioned on the tour. We passed the rest of the tour group at a pastry shop also pointed out by our guide. Can't wait for my next trip to NY. I'd revisit the Greenwich/Soho area to eat and shop (at least window shop) at the businesses listed by our guide. | ||||||

| We were 7 friends who took the tour and enjoyed every part of it. We had Ed as our tour guide and he was very friendly and made sure everyone was in the group before he would talk which was nice. We had too much food but somehow managed to get it all down. It was great! I would recomend it to anyone going to NY city. It's a great way to explore parts of the city present and past. | ||||||

| My husband and I set off on your tour thinking it was just food tasting..what a great surprize we had, a historical, architectural and all round fun tour. We had a fantastic tour guide, Cindy, who really made the tour great, we would recommend that you ask for her!!!! | ||||||
