| My 21 year old daughter and myself shared a fantastic day with Eileen and Addie touring SoHo and Little Italy. We stopped at 15 locations, and enjoyed ourseves so much, we have returned to shop and eat additional times. The ladies made us feel like family immediately and are extremely knowledgable. We are looking forward to a return trip in the near future with them. This is the best way to become familar with the neighborhoods of NYC. |

| The group was a perfect size, including the guide, 7 in number. This allowed for good questions, few delays along the way and much interest. The guide was interested in pleasing and was delightfully informative. The food places we stopped at were definitely New York and the service and food were excellent. Especially good was the restaurant in Little Italy, Cortile, on Mulberry Street. It was the last stop on the tour and it left everyone well satisfied and enthusiastic about returning to NY real soon. Being a retired New Yorker, and seeing the joy the tour brought to the out-of-towners, it made me want to be a tour guide at some point down the road. Happy New Year!! Don't hesitate to put this tour(s) on your itinerary when in NYC. |

| We enjoyed every minute of our tour with Addie. From her bright enthusiastic greeting to her warmly relating to everyone in the group we soon were a walking group of new friends.
Her running commentary was always tailored to the planned included components of the tour and the unexpected things that developed and occurred as we walked the area.
Her love for her community and City was clearly on display.
The foods we tasted and dined on were all exceptional.
All three of us, parents and twenty-five year old look forward to our next visit to New York and a tour of another section of the City with Addie. |

| Not even the rain could diminish our enthusiasm. With a small group and a very knowledgeable tour guide, we were able to see places, learn historical facts, sample delicacies, shop and enjoy a sumptuous meal with very congenial fellow tourists. |

| After five years of trying to coordinate my annual fall theater trip to NYC with a walking tour by Savory Sojourns, this fall finally saw it happen. What a thoroughly enjoyable day!
My girlfriend and I met Addie and the other four people in our group at the famous Balthazar Restaurant. in SoHo. A brief orientation was given while we drank coffee and ate scrumptious Balthazar Breakfast Speciality Treats.
We spent the next few hours visiting small shops in SoHo and Little Italy. Addie seemed to know everyone and the shop owners treated us like royalty. We received tasty samples at many of the places we visited. My very favorite stop was at MarieBelle Chocolates....the samples were extraordinary! The tour ended with a fantastic lunch at IL CORTILE which is a Landmark in Little Italy.
It was very Interesting to me that the two men in our group seemed to like the tour as much as the gals did. This tour is for everyone and I recommend it highly!

Fun But Overpriced

| The tour was enjoyable, and lunch was great, but thought it was a bit expensive for what we got. Addie is knowledgeable, interesting and good at what she does, but the stops at the culinary shops (i.e. Sur La Table & Dean & DeLucca) were too short to really be of any value. The Italian & Spanish deli stops were very good, as was the chocolate shop, and the samples were good. Lunch was delicious and plentiful.
A fun day but a bit overpriced for what it was. Cut the price to $100 per person and you'd have a true winner! |

| We had a great time with Addie visiting the speciality shops of Little Italy and Soho - places we may never have seen if we had not been on the tour. Lunch at Il Cortile was also special - the food was delicious. We would definitely recommend it to our friends in Australia. |

| Let me tell you! This was my first trip to NYC and I had the best time with Eileen and Addie. You are made to feel at home in NYC seeing the sights with a dear friend. I would recommed any of the tours; if they are are enjoyable as "Soho and Little Italy". We stopped and shopped at 9 different places, had personal tastings at several and were encouraged to sample the food at each food stop. The lunch afterward was superior, the restaurant was charming and the food a delight. Don't miss this one, the best way to see NYC. I am coming back to NY soon and plan another Savory Sojourn. |

| The food tour was very enjoyable and insightful. The stops selected for the tour were diverse and interesting. We also truly enjoyed and appreciated Addie sharing with us some of her knowledge of the local area's history and architecture.
There is so much to do in NYC and this is truly one of those "must do's". We've recommended the tours to several of our friends already. |
