I put together a trip for 8 women and highly recommended that we do the Greenwich Tour as I had taken the tour two years ago. Everyone was as thrilled as I was and would do it again. Mike was a wonderful tour guide and it couldn't have been more perfect!!

History for Foodies

Walking food tours give you the scoop on where to eat from authentic New Yorkers, so you'll benefit most by taking the tour early in your stay. We had a blast eating our way through the village, and learning the food and drink history from pastry feuds and cheese shop legacies, to an exciting speak-easy escape route. Our tour guide was fun, friendly, and most informative, handling our group's off-the-wall questions and wonderings with aplomb. Tourist or transplant, if you love food, you will love this tour. I highly recommend the Greenwich Village Food Tour and this tour company. Thanks!

My husband and I took his parents who are from St. Louis on this tour. It was a lot of fun for us even as Brooklynites. Our guide was knowledgable and friendly. We learned a lot about Greenwich Village and got to taste some of the best foods the area has to offer. I would recommend this to anyone who likes to eat and has an interest in the Village.

Delightful and delicious!

The walking tour of Greenwich Village was absolutely one of the highlights of my trip to NY. It was entertaining, informative, and simply delicious! The food samples were generous -- I found myself wishing I'd skipped breakfast that morning. I just wish I had done the tour at the beginning, rather than the end, of my trip, because I was introduced to many wonderful eating establishments and would have LOVED to return to them later on my own. Highly recommended!!!

Great tour. Found an excellent French restaurant, Le Gigot, and oyster bar, Fish, and learned more about the village than any book or general tour.

Perfect synthesis of food, fun, and facts

We all three really enjoyed the tour as it exposed us to a great variety of food with many exciting places to revisit. The tastings are very generous and more than enough to be considered as lunch. I believe the guide could have shortened the historical portion of the Village just a bit to shave off 15 to 30 minutes. More than 3 hours with a group starts to feel too long, when the tour and information is really very interesting. Our guide was friendly, informative, and enjoyable to follow. You could easily tell that she was respectful of the restaurants, enthusiastic about food, and knowledgeable about the entire area. She was superb.

Yummy and fun!
Thu, Jun 23, 05   11:00 AM bfrayer Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
This was a great way to spend the day, and I learned a lot about the history of Greenwich Village. The food samples were all yummy and good-sized, and there was a fun story to go along with each of the restaurants and shops. They showed us several quaint restaurants that I never would have found otherwise as they weren't in the normal restaurant guides. We went back to one for dinner and had a lovely dinner in a courtyard without reservations and the hassle of the more popular hotspots. Given the amount of food tastings and quality of the tour, I think its a very fair price.
