My husband and I had a great time exploring the Heart and Soul of Greenwich Village with our guide, Raheem. The tour was a perfect combination of NYC history and good food we would not have stumbled across on our own (even though we are native New Yorkers). Our guide was entertaining, knowledgeable and very hospitable. Food portions were generous too. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone, local or tourist, who love food and love this vibrant city.

The Chinatown food & culture tour was great! The portions were perfect - not having too much or too little at any of the stops. Our guide Bert was full of information about the neighborhoods we walked through and allowed us to stop and take pictures of things along the walk. Our tour group was a mix of NYC locals and tourists, and it was really interesting to get the locals take on things as well. Seeing Peking Duck hanging in butcher shop windows, then sitting down at a restaurant and watching the chef hand carve a duck for us was really neat! My only regret is that I have to go back to the Midwest and settle for the "Chinese" food at home after experiencing the authentic flavors on this tour. In summary then: Food, A+; Tour Guide Bert, A+; Cultural Info provided, A+; Food Tours of New York, A+.
This was my second tour with this company and certainly won't be my last!

The “Heart and Soul of Greenwich Village” tour really lived up to the hype! I learned interesting facts while touring the neighborhood, received generous & delicious portion sizes of a variety of foods, and had a friendly guide. Raheem, the guide, was passionate about food and really took the time to get to know each member of the tour. Most importantly, the food was AMAZING! Prepare to feel full by the end. One tiny suggestion for the tour company is to switch up the seating arrangements for smaller parties since my friend & I sat next to the same 2 people at each tasting. As you can imagine, this situation can be a little awkward if the people you're sharing a table with aren't your cup of tea. Otherwise, this tour was fantastic and I would 100% recommend it! I even booked a second tour.

I organized a private tour for a group of moms and teen girls last week. Cindy guided us through the Original Greenwich Village Tour. We had an amazing time! Cindy is a hoot. She's tiny, yet she would literally stand in the middle of the street to stop traffic and even a giant tour bus, so we could safely cross the street. Our girls adored her knowledge, hilarious personality, and warmth. It sometimes takes a lot to earn the affection of teenage girls, but Cindy won their hearts immediately. My daughter even told Cindy she might need her phone number to call her when she "needs emotional support"-ha ha. The food was delicious. Learning about history, architecture and landmarks along the way was a bonus. I have done food tours in a handful of cities. It's my favorite way to explore a city. This was my third food tour with Foods of NY Tours, and they have all been favorites. Booking the tour was easy. Everyone I talked to at their office was helpful. This was an all around delightful experience.

I took my mom on the Heart and Soul of Greenwich tour for a belated Christmas present and it was AMAZING! Being from New York, we like to take these tours to reacquaint ourselves with our city and this one does not disappoint. Kurt was a delightful tour guide, friendly and full of some great knowledge of the area and its food offerings. We stopped at 8 places, with plenty of food at each and we were completely full by the end. Such a great way to spend an afternoon!

We took this tour with Ryan - great guide! - on a rainy, very cold December afternoon and we couldn't have had more fun! I actually did this tour a few years ago and chose it again because the first was so good. I learned just as much about the neighborhood and NYC in general as I did the first time! Ryan kept us all interested in the information he was sharing and the passion he has for NYC was evident. The food is excellent. It is fun to try things you might not have the chance to eat in your own hometown.

We had a lovely time doing the Chelsea Market and Highline tour. Chelsea Market was an absolute gem and, while you could explore it yourself, we wouldn't have known about, or thought about trying, half the foods if we hadn't done the tour. The tastings felt like good value for the money (impressive given the current *ahem* exchange rate issues with the pound...).
Jackie was great as a tour guide - she made sure to get to know everyone on the tour and her knowledge of the area and her own little titbits of information and humour really made the tour sparkle.

My boyfriend and I had so much fun on the Nolita tour with Bert. Bert was hilarious and charming. I'm a long time NYC resident and I felt the city come alive in new ways as we strolled through NoLIta experiencing the flavors and tales of NYC with a wonderful storyteller. 10/10 would do it again!

Our tour guide Kurt was waiting for us at the appointed place and time. He was outgoing and friendly from the jump, greeting each of the couples as they arrived and offering us the opportunity to grab a water bottle from the adjacent liquor store before the tour started. The tour began at the Cuba Restaurant and Rum Bar, where frankly the highlight of the trip was served. This was one of the two seated tastings on the tour. We each got two empanadas, both good, but the cheese-filled selection was absolutely to die for. As we left that restaurant and headed for Washington Square Park, Kurt’s passion for Greenwich Village was apparent. He is knowledgeable and vibrant in his presentation, providing anecdotes and historical facts alike. He even took the time to take our phone and take pictures of us along the way. The food on the tour also included a unique artichoke pizza, a pasta bolognese, an Indian “scrambled egg burrito,” an herbal tea and chocolates. Just as enriching as the food, however, was the running dialogue from Kurt, who clearly knows his stuff. Overall, a three-hour tour seemed short and definitely worth the price of admission. Highly recommended.

I must say that I was impressed from the moment I set my tour date. The follow up emails and reminders with helpful links for google maps and things made it very easy to know when and where I needed to be. The introduction email with our tour guides background was not only helpful but spot on. Ryan has so much information to share and made the group laugh and learn so much about NY. It was a warm 38 degrees out and Ryan made sure we all we comfortable the whole time. It was amazing and professional through and through. I can’t wait to book another tour with my friends. This tour was given to me by my son for a dad and son only trip and I couldn’t have wished for a more perfect day! I highly recommend this tour even if you’re from NY like I am because there was so much cool stuff to hear about. Great Job Ryan!!!
