Original Greenwich Village Food and Culture Tour

Our tour guide Michael was excellent. You could tell he loved his neighborhood and certainly knew the history of the village. All day people would call out his name, he appeared to be involved in his community. My sister and I took our Mom for mother's day and she was amazed - since she had grown up in the city and had now idea that the village was such a beautiful area.

Great way to see the Village and learn the culture and history

This tour was recommended to me by a friend who heard I was going to New York on a bus trip. I have been to NYC many many times, but never knew about this tour. I suggested it to my 2 friends who I was going on the bus tour with & they, too, had been to NYC many many times & so we all decided it would be something different to do than the usual "tourist" type things. We were right! This was an excellent choice & all of us agreed it was well worth it. We are recommending it to everyone. We also agreed that our tour guide, Todd, made this event the success that it was. He was excellent, enthusiastic, knowledgeable & personable. He was great. We even asked if we could request him if we decided to do it again or if we had friends who would be doing this. Anyway, great choice. We are now thinking to do the other food tour the next time. Thank you & hang on to Todd. He's worth it.

I loved the food tour! The combination of eating yummy food, learning historical tidbits about Greenwich Village and exploring restaurants that are off the beaten track was wonderful. Our guide was well informed and enthusiastic. It was obvious that she was well known and loved in the neighborhood. My husband and I ate at a different restaurant from the tour each night for the rest of our trip. I've already recommended the tour to friends who were headed to NYC. I wish there was something like this in all big cities.

The tour was very worthwhile, particularly from the perspective of learning about the areas cultural history. The guide had a strong knowledge of where to eat and purchase ingredients, however didn't have a particuarly good knowledge of the food itself or preparation methods. This set us up for our stay in the Village and was very worthwhile.

My friends and I had a wonderful time. Cindy our animator was really terrific (funny and very informational). It made me to appreciate Greenwich Village a whole lot more. Choices of restaurant and food was excellent. We went to the Fish and Surya restaurant because of your recommandation and truly enjoyed it. A big thank you to Cindy and the organisation. France from Montréal.

We booked this tour on a whim and really enjoyed it. We liked all the cultural tidbits our tour guide related with enthusiasm. We were a little disappointed with the amount of food we got to taste. It was all delicious but we thought we would be trying more things than what we got. After the tour was over , we went hunting for a place to eat, which of course was one of the places we tried on the tour. We will definitely try the Chelsea Market tour next.

While looking for something to do in New York, I stumbled upon this food tasting tour. I decided to participate in the tour because I enjoy trying new things and I thought it would be an excellent way for me to learn more about New York, a place I had never been before. After having taken the tour, I did get to taste several different foods and places in Greenwich Village. I wish, however, that there would have been more food tasting and less history about Greenwich Village. I did learn a lot about the area, but I felt that I was misled about everything the tour encompassed. Had I known we would be doing a lot more standing and talking, I may not have participated in it. This is a great tour for those who enjoy talking about the history of different places and getting a hands on experience. If you don't enjoy standing for long periods of time, this tour may not be the best for you.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the Greenwich Village tour. The tour guide was very friendly and informative. I recommend this tour for locals as well as tourists. I can't wait to take another tour and learn more about the city that I love. Thank you for a wonderful time

My husband and I just loved the tour. It was the highlight of our trip. In fact we ended up back in Greenwich village twice more on our holiday. We will recommend it to any of our friends visiting NYC. The tour guide was exceptional!
