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! |

| 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. |

| This is a fantastic tour for anyone visiting NYC! I love to cook and really enjoyed finding the best "foodee" places and being able to taste samples all along the route! My husband came along and also really enjoyed each and every stop we made! Our tour guide was very informative about the city itself, NYC history, the great architecture, and of course everything culinary that this great city has to offer! Lunch and breakfast were fabulous! We both highly recommend taking this tour if you're headed to NYC! |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

Would definitely go again!

| I had been looking forward to this trip since I had first purchased the tickets. I love food and I love New York and even though I live only an hour or so from the city, I don't have much time to really know where to go. So this day trip was perfect for me! It gave you a chance to just enjoy letting somebody else do the research and work for you. Addie (our tour guide) was great. She was extremely knowledgeable on many topics. She told us a little bit of trivia and history about certain buildings thoughout SOHO and Little Italy and it was very interesting. She was funny and warm and the type of person you like immediately upon meeting. All of the food and tastings were excellent! I am already trying to decide which tour to go on next. I recommend this for the tourist and local alike. |
