| I went on my own on the Greenwich Village tour and I felt so comfortable and welcomed by our tour guide Marie and the others on the tour. Marie is a worth of knowledge and so passionate about the area her enthusiasm for the local businesses is amazing. I actually went back to Greenwich a number of times while I stayed in New York and the restaurants she recommended were amazing! What you experience and learn on this tour are things you couldn't possibly find on your own if you're not a local. It also is a great foundation to learn to experience the area further. |

| I was in NYC for only 3 days. This was a highlight of my visit. The places we visited were thoughtfully chosen and the food was excellent. Marie, our tour guide was great! She knew and loved her subject and conveyed it very well. I was pleased to learn the history, architecture and character of the neighborhood as well as being able to try the foods. I was also impressed because she made sure that we were comfortable and had access to needed facilities. Some in the group had been asking for wine and she pointed out where it would be appropriate to purchase it. All in all, it made me fall in love with GV, and next time I'm in NYC I will DEFINITELY do another!!! No question - absolutely well worth the price of admission! |

| We weren't really sure what to expect as this was our first tour like this. We found the meeting location easily due to great maps and explanations - and it was great it left right on time! Our tour guide, Marie, was fantastic! She was enthusiastic, friendly, and really sought to make this an outstanding experience for everyone in our group! The tastings were fantastic! I would perhaps suggest only 1 pizza place, rather than two, but we feel like we really did explore and taste our way through Greenwich Village! We will definitely be back to some of the locales and restaurants that Marie took us to! We especially enjoyed Bleecker St Pizza, Palma, Roccos, Murray's, and Centro Vineto (sp?). Marie gave a great tour - one that made us interesed in taking others next time we are in NYC! Thanks very much! We felt the experience was great and well worth our time and money! Well done! |

| This was the favorite activity on our Girls Getaway to New York. Our guide was knowledgeable and personable. We learned about the history of Greenwich Village, walked the interesting neighborhood and sampled some delicious food. It was also a great way to discover some wonderful restaurants which we went back to enjoy for meals during the rest of our stay. Many thanks! |

| I've never been on a tour like this but I will look for similar tours wherever I go from now on. Not only was the food delicious but we had the best tour guide. It was evident that she loved her job and NYC. I felt that we encountered a side of New York that most tourists don't see. Thanks for one of my favorite experiences of our trip! |
