| 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. |

| What a wonderful tour! My friend and I come into NYC a lot. We wanted to familiarize ourselves with different parts of Manhattan. We chose the Soho/Little Italy tour since we didn't know the area well. We enjoyed learning about the history of the area and going into the various shops. The places we toured were varied from a Chinese market to a Spanish deli and an unbelievably delicious chocolate shop! Not to mention the italian specialty shops and lunch... wow! what a meal. Our guide Eileen was friendly and knowledgeable. She felt like a friend you've known your whole life by tours end! Our group was small and the people friendly. I would recommend this tour to everyone. I can't wait to do another. |

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 terrific experience walking all over the town. Our knowledgeable guide pointed out several very interesting facts and showed us part of little Italy we had never seen. The tour was very flexible and we were free to spend more time at the places we really enjoyed (the chocolate shop!) and speed through others. I will certainly go on another tour with this vendor. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| My friend Neil & I had the pleasure of meeting the effervescent Addie Tomei in our recent 10 day visit to beautiful NYC!
It was through the internet that I discovered Savoury Sojourns & I am so glad I did!
You get to see NYC from a New Yorker's perspective plus you get to eat great food & drink wonderful wines!
WE enjoyed listening to Addie recount the History of the various places we visited.
I highly recommend this great tour. I have friends travelling to NYC later this year & I will be telling them to get in & book now!.
However, I do think that it is Addie's bubbly pertsonality and passion for her City that really makes it very special.

| 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. |
