| We loved Greenwich Village tour. It is such a quaint area, neat little restaurants, stores, and architecture. I cant wait to go back and repeat the tour. It was absolutely fun, filling, and interesting. Pizza shops, coffee shops, olive tasting, and delicious cookies were all fantastic! Be sure to leave enough time to go back to the places you visited because you will definitely want to. |

| I've been to NYC many times, but never have I seen Greenwich Village like I did with the Foods of New York tour. Marie was a wonderful guide and the food stops were all exceptional. Great idea and will definitely try another tour the next time we are visiting. |

| We LOVED the Greenwich Village tour! It was so much fun to check out the little neighborhood foods, restaurants & businesses that you might never otherwise see while in NYC. There are so many big, commercialized things to see in NYC, but the really great things are the ones that only the locals know about - the real jewels of the Big Apple. I would absolutely recommend this tour & would totally do it again myself. WELL WORTH IT! |

| The guide was amazing! He wasn't so full of himself as other guides often are. He was quite knowledgeable and did everything to make us feel comfortable despite the fact that it poured the entire 3 hours of the tour! The food was delicious and varied. The history and architecture was extremely interesting and we had a wonderful time! |

| The tour guide seemed to know less about the food than I did. She didn't give any real history or interesting information about the food. Also, the whole thing was too much of a shill for local restaurants. I wanted to learn about various foods that were common in the Greenwich Village area and I didn't feel that happened.
I think the architectural part of the tour would've been better if it hadn't been raining, so that wasn't the tour guide's fault. |

| We went on the Walking Tour of Greenwich Village. We had a wonderful time. Our guide, Marie, was fantastic. She was pleasant and well informed. She gave us a lot of little tidbits on our tour. The businesses we visited were fun and welcoming. We were able to experience each business by the samples that they gave us. It was truly a treat. We highly recommend this tour and look forward to return trips to New York and other tours. |

| My son and I were concerned that a heavy rain would diminish major features of the tour. It did not. In spite of heavy rain, we visited each of the locations. We had unbrellas, but our tour guide provided rain ponchos for those who did not. The tour guide was pleasant, informed, enthusiastic about her job, and attentive to the questions and interests of a diverse group. An extremely valuable feature of the tour is that the food establishments we visited (especially some small restaurants and shops to which I was introduced) will, in several instances, be experiences I will revisit. I visit New York twice a year. Because of my experience on this tour, I plan to schedule other Verve tours on my future visits. |

| We had the greatest time on this tour. We enjoyed the walk about the village discovering the wonderful shops and restaurants, as well as the tastings. Our tour guide was a wealth of information, not only about the food, but also on the history of the neighborhood. He was very entertaining,and we learned things about food, history, architecture, and popular culture. GREAT!! |
