| Super. Yes, we did have great tastings at conspicuous places but the uniqueness of this tour is the discovery of small "hole in the wall" eateries that were great surprises! |

| More historical information provided than expected. Great variety of great food, with an interesting combination of styles. Lots of local background stories.
Staff at Cafe del Mare (starting point) fairly uninterested in selling drinks before the tour.
To whom it concerns : expect a lot of Carbohydrates ! |

| We had a wonderful time walking and eating around the Village and SoHo. It was great to learn the history of the area and to be told about current spots to try both to eat and listen (comedy and music clubs), We were told about many places we would otherwise have just walked by and were tipped off as to what to order at many places. |

Great food choices! Not far to walk.

| Fresh mozzarella (half an hour old!); Delicious Greek yogurt ; gnocchi by a gourmet chef -- all of these and more in a few hours of a pleasant walk around Greenwich. Lots of information delivered by our tour guide Rahine - he's quite into food and gave more information on the preparation of food than I personally required. He also gave great tips on jazz clubs in the area, local and personal history, details about each restaurant mentioned. I'm sorry we weren't able to make good use of that information as we didn't have any other time in Greenwich other than the tour itself. I'd highly recommend using the tour as a starting point for your Greenwich visit and then eating at the great restaurants, getting to the great clubs and enjoying Washington Square when it's not under construction! |

| Our guide was a young man by the name of Raheem. Raheem, having attended nearby NYU, shared many of his experiences in the village from a personal perspective that genuinely enhanced his knowledge of the area. Not only was his knowledge of food and beverage exceptional, but his knowledge of the area's history and cultural nuances was also exceptional. His interest in his subject material was one of genuine interest which connected well with everyone on tour contributing to the group harmony. My wife and i were spending the week in NYC which had many diverse activities. At the conclusion of this afternoon, we felt the experience was well worth it and we highly recommend this tour, particularly with Raheem as the guide. |

| Susan, our guide, was excellent. Providing tidbits of history and offering her passion for the food, history and area.
This was a great alternative to museums, theater and shopping. I will sign up to do the other tours when in NYC again. |

| Having been to the Village on my previous trips to New York I never really spent as much time as I did this time and we enjoyed it so much that we ended up staying there till 11pm. The tour was interesting, the guide was very pleasant, the food was great (although I think an extra stop or two would not have been bad) |

Enjoyed it, not sure I would recommend it.

| My husband and I really enjoyed the food portion of the tour, but felt that the tour tried a bit too hard to be all things to all people. Specifically, we didn't particularly feel the need to know about the different types of architecture or to walk around Washington Square Park- we were more interested in the next tasting. However, as we are frequent daytrippers to the Village, this complaint may not be a general one.
The food portion of the tour was great- we loved learning about the restaurants, specifically the Indian Bread Co. & Montes.
So, in short, we would have preferred a 2.5hr tour that didn't talk as much about general history as opposed to the 3.5hr tour that did. |
