| This tour is absolutely fantastic! It was fun to learn about Greenwich Village while munching on free food! At the end of the tour, I felt like I knew all about the neighborhood. Our tour guide was passionate and enthusiastic. I really liked the dynamic that the tour provided. I would recommend it for those visiting New York for the first time and who don't know where to start their sightseeing. It was a great experience! |

| We enjoyed every stop and the commentaries. I have food allergies and was prepared to enjoy the tour without "refreshments". But thanks to the places places we visited most every place provided something I could eat. That was such a treat. Our guide was so knowledgeable about the history of Greenwich Village and he shared the information with such humor. |

| Very interesting tour that included fascinating history of Greenwich Village as well as tastings of some great food. We came back a couple of days later to eat more of that great food! This was probably my favorite part of our visit to NYC. |

| Our Greenwich Village tour was fantastic on many levels:
1. Our tour guide (I've forgotten his name unfortunately) MADE the tour. He was an older gentleman who has lived in the Village for decades, wore a fedora and suit, was possibly and actor at one point in his life, and was so knowledgeable about the area and the history of NY. He brought the facts to life.
2. The sampling of different foods is wonderful. We got to sample arancini, pizza (2 different styles), high end olive oil, fresh bread, cheeses and wonderful cannoli's. It was a nice mixture. The quantity of food is definitely not enough to constitute a meal so you might want to go earlier in the day (before lunch) or in the afternoon (before dinner - could be your appetizer).
3. I learned about the history of NYC and specifically the Village. It was way better than sitting through high school history class!
4. Our guide recommended eating at Palma if we had the chance. So I went two days after our tour and it was one of the best meals I've had! And I went with locals who had never heard of it - and they were blown away. My local friends said that Palma's pasta with lamb ragu was better than Babbo's.
Cheers to a job well done! I'll be back to take the Chelsea tour next time. |

| Our tour guide Cindy introduced us to the multifaceted neighborhood of Greenwhich Village. She not only made each and every one of us feel welcome and included, but also kept us entertained with her humor and insider's life in the area. The food was fabulous and well rounded. |

| Ed was our guide on this Greenwich Village tour. He was just terrific! It was Mother's Day and the day couldn't have gotten off to a better start with being in the city on a very sunny and slightly cool morning. My children, my son 16, and my daughter 13, were with me and we all enjoyed this tour immensely. It is so much more than a food tour as you know, learning about a Manhattan neighborhood we knew so little about was enlightening and very,very interesting. And, my children were very much able to relate the history content to their current studies in school. Of course the food was All so yummy and absolutely delicious, but it was learning about this neighborhod that was equally, or possibly more, enjoyable. We are looking forward to the Chelsea Market tour which we have heard is also not to be missed. |

| The tour guide Mike was AWESOME! He was so knowledgeable, having lived in the Village for 22 years, and was a wealth of information about everything from the apartment buildings in the neighborhood to the cafe's to nightlife. I've been living in Manhattan for 4 years and I learned so much from Mike on this tour. Oh yeah, and the food was great too! I especially liked the grandma pizza. And the cookie from Milk and Cookies. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in the history and culture of the village and likes to eat! |
