Took the tour on Sept 3 with Barri as our guide. We have visited NY many times but had never been to the Village which is why we decided that this tour would be a good way to see an area we where unfamiliar with. We were not disappointed. Three hours of great info, great food and a great guide. Barri has armed us with enough info to tackle the Village on our own next time we visit NY |

Fun time and educational too! |

We really enjoyed our tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and had many stories to tell. Loved hearing about the community and the way it pulls together to support the local businesses. The food tastings were good. The only problem was finding out about many restaurants that we wanted to have a meal at and only having one day left in NYC! |

Excellent..excellent..excellent!!! |

Terrific!!! This is my 2nd foods of NY tour, also did Chelsea Market. They offer a fantastic tour. The food and introduction to new restaurants is invaluable. On this tour you also get an insiders view of the village, the architecture, the history, and what it is today. A new view of NY. Loved it and would highly recommend it.

I thought our guide was very good and informative. The spots we stopped for sampling were very good. My only suggestion would be to have the desserts after the entrees. |

Fun and educational |

Our guide was a very enthusiastic as well as entertaining. She provided us with a historical view into Greenwich Village that was very enlightening. We enjoyed the
various food stops as well as samples provided there. All in all I would recommend this tour to anyone visting New York. It was intimate and like a fresh breath of air away from the busy traffic around Times Square and surrounding area. |

Too many restaurant reviews |

We did like the tour but we do have a few suggested changes:
1. Our tour lasted from 11:30 to 3 pm. This was too long.
2. Too many restaurant reviews/recommendations which were not of real import. While I can't remember them specifically, they were more like "a good place to get soup, " "a nice place for a date" or "all entrees are under $20." I didn't find this interesting at all. If I were interested in restaurant reviews in the area, I would go to Chowhound.com, Zagats, etc. and not pay $44 to stand on my feet and hear about them.
3. The food samples were fine as well as the anecdotes on the food itself. I would have preferred a greater emphasis on the food and Village history and keep the restaurant recs to a minimum.
4. And how does an aromatherapy store have anything to do with a Food Tasting and Cultural Tour any way? |

WONDERFUL!! |

This is my first tour of this kind and we didn't know what to expect. It was wonderful. The guide was great, so bubbly and energetic. She showed us places I would have never thought to go, these little mom and pop places that have been in the area for years. I would definitely do a another one, and I would definitely go back on my own to these sites! |

My second time and it was still awesome! |

I did this tour about 3 years ago, and loved it so much I wanted to do it again. My boyfriend also really enjoyed himself. Cindy the tour guide was so amazing. She shared so much of her knowledge with us. It is such an awesome way to spend 3 hours in the city. |
