I liked the food and unique streets and histories for the area. Celebrities and stories that have occurred are also very interesting. I won't have known so much about Greenwich Village, and thats make the place more interesting. I 'll definity revisit.. |

I brought my two children with me on this tour, ages 9 and 13. The 13 year old was having other issues, so his experience was less than stellar. However, both children eventually got into the swing of things, especially when they got to try the pizza. I enjoyed the places that we got to go, especially the cheese shop! However, with such a large group and such small places, it did get long and uncomfortable. Maybe it would be more enjoyable with a smaller group on a day that wasn't quite so hot. Thanks so much for the restaurant recommendations, coupons and contact information for the stops on the tour! I will be ordering some things from those vendors--they were amazing! |

Our guide was kind, polite, enthusiastic and knowledgible about Grenwich Village.
The information booklt was very much appreciated and helpful.
I very much appreciated the actual food insights from the chef/manager of the Olive Oil shop. I wanted to hear more from other food shop owner/managers.
People, like me, who take such tours love to learn about food, this should be the focus, not all of the Village trivia, although this is intereasting to a point.
I would have wished for a greater variety of foods to sample or places that fairly unique to NYC such as Cuban/Chinese restaurants.
My two cents for now... |

Had a great time |

My wife and I had a great time. Our guide did a great job of sharing information and keeping everyone comfortable. The tastes were interesting and well paced. I especially enjoyed the information about the neighborhood, houses, etc. |

Great walking Tour! Barri took me back in time, I imagined carriages and horses, female gowns and male wigs and candle lit alleyways and unpaved muddy roads and big doorkeys that people carry back then. It was great to see the old buildings, differentiate the old from the new brick houses and landmarks. Now when I see brick houses, I look at the layout of the bricks to know the year that they were built! Aaahhh, and the food and restaurants! Awesome. I have not seen this side of the Village, quaint neighbourhood, secluded gardens and landmarks. I am from North Jersey, 15 minutes from GWB and spends my weekends in New York, this is the most enjoyable weekend I've ever had for a long time. |

The food was tasty the guide was friendly and the tour was fascinating.
It was the perfect combination of things - history of the neighbourhood, current information on where to eat and shop, and a few hidden gems disclosed as well.
I would recommend this tour for anyone looking to learn a little more about Greenwich Village.
Be warned though there is no need to eat beforehand as you will soon fill up on this tour. |

One of my favorite NY activities! |

We took the tour on our last day in New York. I wish we had done it earlier, because I would have gone back to the places that were described on the tour. It was a fun way to see Greenwich Village and learn some fascinating things about it. I will definately do another food tour on my next visit! |

Great Fun! |

This was a very interesting way to see the older part of the Village, even tho we had been in this neighborhood many times before. Our guide was fun and funny and very well-informed--not only about food but also the history of the architecture and the interesting people populating the area. It also must be said that your website is very easy to use and all acknowledgements and charges appeared quickly and promptly. We don't know exactly how you market this tour but we heard of it thru a retired travel agent at a party in our hometown. In all of our past trips to NYC we had never known that such a tour existed. We will get the word out! |
