| an excellent experience; our group which consisted of one male and two females of a certain age had a great time; our guide, susan, was extremely knowledgeable about the village; the food was very good and more than i expected; she told great stories about the area, the buildings and the clubs, restaurants and stores; i was
expecially interested because my father was born in the village and it was where i used to hang when i was in college; although i have been to the area many times, it was great to hear the history and to find some of the small shops and restaurants
that i had never noticed before; all in all a great day; recommended highly |

| This is our second food tour experience. Although we enjoyed the food on the traditional Greenwich Village tour more, this was also very informative and fun. The tour guide was a wealth of knowledge. It's a great way to learn more about the village while experiencing the diverse food culture. |

More history than food

| Overall I enjoyed the tour, it was very informative, providing a historical overview of the area and highlighting current hotspots. But since the tour was specifically a "Food Tour" I expected a little more emphasis on the food culture and tastings. I would have appreciated more tasting stops as there was certainly enough time for them. |

| My brother and I sent our mother and his godmother as a Mother's Day present. It was a huge hit. Both women love trying new resturants and found the selections excellent. They told us that one place was better than the next. The best part was they learned history about New York that after 47 years living here they did not know.
They are even thinking of brining some friends on one of the tours when they arrive from out of state in September.
Highly recommend for tourists and locals! |

| I found that we heard more about the history of the area than the history of the food. The food tastings were excellent, but there weren't many of them. I can't believe the sparse food offerings for the cost of the tour (3 hours). I was also disappointed that we spent almost an hour walking around a park. If that entire section had been cut out, the tour would have been far better. |

| This food tasting tour was excellent. It was lots of fun, and the tour guide was very knowledgeable about the areas we visited in the Central Village and SoHo. The food tastings were excellent, and it truly was enough for lunch. I am a local girl who is fairly knowledgeable about New York, and I learned alot! I definitely recommend it to both locals and out-of-towners. |

| The food and all related information was great, as was our guide. I have already returned to three of the restaurants visited or mentioned. The three hour tour was one hour too long, though, filled/fluffed out with extra blocks and extra talk to examine small architectural detail. Some neighborhood input...while moving between food venues, not standing to receive a lecture...would be interesting, but I would assume that others registering for a food tour, as was our case, are interested in food. Two hours would have been ample time to cover the food venues on this tour. |

| our guide was very well informed and the tour was very well thought out.
We thought he was well mannered and we would take one of his tours again. Having lived in the metro area for a long time - this is a great way to reacquaint yourself with the area and the many changes.
He gave us many good choices for dining and we ate at Monte's and just loved it!
We would recommend this to all our friends. |
