| Brought my friend from France on this tour. The tour guide spoke clearly so he was able to understand every word. She was knowledgable and friendly. The food was plentiful and delicious. The whole thing was just great. Two thumbs up! |

| Our group of 4 met up with Curt at the assigned place and time. Curt was an incredible guide, learning all of the tour participant's names (about 16) and sharing introductions with everyone so we all felt welcomed. The stops on the tour were all good choices and I really wouldn't change a thing. The weather cooperated and the day couldn't have been better. Curt paced the tour well, expecially considering we had one member who had broken her ankle on her first day in NYC and was in a wheelchair. Curt was extremely entertaining and provided us with all sorts of interesting facts. When it was over we returned to some of the shops we had toured to make some purchases. The tour was a hilight of our trip to NYC. I highly recommend this tour. (Ask for Curt if you can!) |

| Dave was a very good guide, the walk great value, very helpful and a good way of seeing Greenwich Village. The different food was just enough and very tasty. This was my second tour the other being Chelsea Market and my review would be the same for that. I look forward to doing the China Town tour next. |

| We saw the food tour in the NYC Guidebook and decided to give it a try. It was the best thing we did during our time in NYC. Kurt, our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable about Greenwhich Village, as well as other items in New York. He directed us to some great places to shop, dine, and hear jazz. The tour itself was a great way to see the Village; it was a nice break from the rat race of the city. |

| A special thanks to Curt for his knowledge, enthusiasm and humour. We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the tour. Later, we went for dinner at one of the recommended restaurants and enjoyed a memorable meal and a wonderful evening.
Many thanks from Canada.

| Even though it was pouring rain we had the best time on our Greenwich tour and I would highly recommend this tour service. I loved how we got significant size samples of food along the way instead of sitting to eat an entire meal in only one shop. The guide, although I forgot his name, was very knowlegeable of the area and NYC in general and did a great job teaching us about Greenwich Village area and the local cuisine.
Thank You |

| Our leader Curt was not only knowledgeable about the food but also about the area.
I would suggest this activity to anyone who loves food and history. He was highly entertaining as well. |

| The only thing that could have made this tour better is if it was 30 degrees warmer! Our tour guide, Curt, was phenomenal - funny, personable, knowledgable and considerate. The tour was well paced and the food awesome. We particularly enjoyed hearing about the history of the area, both the restaurants and shops while trying the delicious foods. My only regret is that we took the tour on our last day - there were many places we are going back to next year. On a side note - I have "bad' feet and found this tour very managable - there were opportunities to sit down a couple times so don't think that you will be on your feet for the full three hours. I would hate for someone to pass up this opportunity. The tour also attracted a really nice group of people. I don't think I've ever toured with a more polite and friendly group. I won't take this tour again next year - only because I am already looking forward to taking a different tour. Enjoy! And, Curt, I'll be looking for you on TV one of these days - keep them laughing!

| Our guide, Curt Upton, was so warm and inviting. Not only was he very
knowledgeable about the Greenwich Village area, he shared that knowledge with our group in a way that was entertaining, informative and relaxing. My group was astonished at the wide variety of foods and the "behind the scene" shop areas that we were privy to. We felt as if we had finally seen the "real" NY.
I highly recommend the "Food and Cultural" tour (in any area) as a way to get to know the city, beyond the usual tourist attractions. The tour is definitely worth the time and money. |
