needs more information from the start Arthur Avenue Walkabout

our group which consists of mothers and daughters (ages 35-40) have gone on walking tours for the past 4 years. we loved seeing the bronx, but felt this tour was a bit unorganized. we were not told that we would have to pay an additional $9 per person for the train ride (don't mind that but it should be included in the price; so make the whole deal more). and if you do not want to include it, then have the tickets already purchased for us and we can pay the person back right then. this tour did not have nearly as much food as the other ones we have been on. only one kind of pizza, instead of several to sample, etc. susan was very nice and we would like for her tours to be a success. we went into one pasta place where they make their own and cut it right there (thought we would be sampling the pasta) but it was if we wanted to buy some. then we got back to the train station too late for the next train and had to wait over 30 minutes. she needs to watch the time so the tour ends in time for the train. thank you
A Great Time Was Had by All Arthur Avenue Walkabout

Susan of Susan Sez provided us with a wonderful, informative experience. After giving us some of the history of the Bronx Belmont section, Susan graciously brought us to many local specialty shops including the Arthur Ave. Market where we tasted everything from homemade sausages,fresh cheeses , breads, pastries and pizza to a lovely slice of Italian cheesecake at the walkabout's end. What a treat !! During all of this we heard about the local trivia and visited some very noteworthy historical spots. In addition, we found out about several nice restaurants. I highly recommend this tour to all.
Very Helpful City Island Walkabout

I went with a group for a project we're doing on the island. The tour was quite informative and helped us greatly. Susan is a well-informed and charismatic tour guide. I highly recommend the tour.
too slow Arthur Avenue Walkabout
Mon, Oct 9, 06 11:45 AM	sandramerle	Female	50-59	Local	Other
After having done a fantstic tour recently with Food Tours of New York, the tour leader being Todd who was outstanding, I pursuaded my son to do this tour with me, he is 29 years ol d and a buiseness professional. Well upon meeting the group, we were the only 2 amongst a lovely group of ladiies who were approximately by my guess all 80 years old, needless to say this tour became very long and so slow, believe it or not we were in little Itlay and of the few samples of food we had, not one was pasta.We would of enjoyed this much more doing the area alone. I felt as if the tour leader who knew this tour was coming should have thought about how slow this was going to be for others. We left before the end. I feel very sorry not to give this a good rating as Susan was so nice, but I could not even begin to compare it to my previous tour. I am not sure how this could have been prevented and a faster and more productive day gained
Great fun Arthur Avenue Walkabout

I just moved to the Bronx and wanted get to know my new borough - specifically where the good places to eat and shop are. I had a marvelous time walking around and I felt like I met the food maven of the Bronx (very cool). Now I know where to go for the most decadent mozzarella, freshest egg-noodles, and access to essential pantry staples. I also learned a lot about the area's history as well as it's current neighborhood. Susan didn't make me feel (or look) like a tourist - which i really appreciated. I had a great time and would definately recommend it to others.
A nice foray into the neighborhood Arthur Avenue Walkabout
Sat, Sep 16, 06 11:45 AM	karinacopen	Female	30-39	Local	Group of Friends
I loved going to Arthur Avenue. The food we sampled was delicious and I bought lots of yummy stuff to bring home. I would highly recommend visiting the neighborhood. The tour itself was average. Other than pointing out the good places to shop and eat, I did not find the information particularly interesting or useful. So, if you want a guided way to see the Ave, take the tour, otherwise, I say go explore around on your own.
We expected more interesting info on the Bronx Arthur Avenue Walkabout

We had to pay extra (9,50 p.p.) for the train from Grand Central to the Bronx, which was an extra cost we did not expect. Our Metrocard was valid for subway and buses, but not for the train. We walked around Arthur Avenue and surroundings, but apart from the food which was ok, we did not learn a lot about the Bronx. The info given was not very interesting. Consider it to be a food tasting tour, not a Bronx tour.
Great way to spend an afternoon Arthur Avenue Walkabout
Sat, Jul 29, 06 11:45 AM	BryanCox	Female	30-39	Local	Family Without Children
The tour was thoroughly enjoyable. Susan was knowledgable of the area and presented interesting facts of the neighborhood and its residents. We made plenty of stops along the way to sample delicious treats from a variety of shops and specialty markets. Mike's Deli was the best with the cheesmaking demonstration and the samples of several of their cheeses. We've been to Little Italy in Manhattan. You don't know what you are missing until you've been to the "Real Little Italy" in the Bronx. Susan's tour is a great way to experience it!
Such a fun Saturday Activity Arthur Avenue Walkabout
Sat, Jul 29, 06 11:45 AM	amandamccor	Female	20-29	Local	Group of Friends
This was a great tour - gave us a bit of the cultural/historic background of the neighborhood as well as guiding us through a wonderful array of culinary treats. It was such a fun afternoon and a great way to explore a new area of the city.
We had a great time Arthur Avenue Walkabout

The walk was at a great pace and was broken up nicely with stories and food stops. Our group varied in age and everyone had a great time. Thanks for the experience.
Excellent Arthur Avenue Walkabout

This was my second tour with Susan. I had to bring a friend to experience the "Real Little Italy" of New York. The tour was so informative and interesting. The tastings were wonderful and generous. Thank you Susan!
Interesting, but not at the top of my list to do Arthur Avenue Walkabout
Mon, May 22, 06 11:45 AM	pozlopuch	Female	50-59	Domestic Tourist(s)	Individual
The tour was just okay: lots of walking, not so much stopping, ran past its expected time limit (which was okay for me, but several had to leave before the end because of other plans.) The leader was well-versed, but allowed group to ramble and take their time so the pace was too slow for me. Also the area wasn't all that exciting. I probably best enjoyed the international origin of the group, with many from abroad. Good food, though!
Genuine Italians in New York City! Arthur Avenue Walkabout
Sat, Apr 22, 06 11:45 AM	DANIELROGAN	Male	50-59	Domestic Tourist(s)	Individual
In the Bronx, not on the Lower East Side of Manhattan! This is a delightful, easily paced, intimate walk through the Arthur Street area--the Little Italy of the Bronx--a genuine neighborhood, not a tourist destination like Mulberry Street in Manhattan. You won't find "The Sopranos" here, just the everyday lifestyle of everyday people who happen to be Italian. One of my favorite stops was the "candy store" where the "village elders" gather around to solve the problems of the world--and where one of the matriarchs of the neighborhood will explain to you how she created egg creams--no eggs, no cream. And if you don't believe her, get ready to beat a hasty retreat--and no egg cream for you!
comfortable, friendly tour Arthur Avenue Walkabout
Sat, Apr 22, 06 11:45 AM	trishp	Female	40-49	Domestic Tourist(s)	Group of Friends
My friend and I totally enjoyed Susan and her tour. She is informative, down to earth, friendly, lots of energy. I plan on doing the rest of her tours as I return to the city over the next couple of years. I want to bring my daughter, also. The food was yummy and the vendors very pleasant. I would highly recommend this tour.
A taste of the real Little Italy! Arthur Avenue Walkabout
Mon, Mar 13, 06 11:45 AM	mspurrell	Female	40-49	Domestic Tourist(s)	Family With Children
Our experience was great. A good time was had by all, including our 13 year old. We saw people in their element, doing what they do every day. It was a very interesting glimpse of a different way of living. We sampled a lot of wonderful food!
