| Had a lovely time with this tour: our guide was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable about the area, we found out about amazing places (and people) we would not have found on our own, and of course, got to taste lots of delicious food on the way . highly recommended. |

| My daughter and I signed up for the Greenwich Village Food Tasting and Cultural Tour. We were a little unnerved by the number of tour buses going down Bleecker Street when we first got there, but the tour made up for it. The tour guide was so knowledgable and engaging. The places we visited were so unique and we under the impression that we would get a small tasting and were rather shocked by the full size tastings we had. You definitely do not want to eat lunch after you complete the tour. I especially enjoyed the walk around the entire area and the explanation of the architecture and history from it's first beginnings. My daughter and I went back to some of the shops and ordered some of the things we saw during our tour to be shipped back to us with the discount the stores provided for attending the tour. That was an added bonus. The area is absolutely beautiful and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting New York. Some of the retaurants are tucked away so we would have never known about them had we not attended the tour. The food was all delicious. |

| Let me begin by saying our tour guide was wonderful and managed to make the experience fun and interesting even during bad weather. But I bought these tickets thinking it was a "food tour" where we would taste the flavors of the area. It is more of an informative history tour of the village, which I loved, but was not what I was expecting. It would be nice to have more tastings with more food! I was not quote-un-quote stuffed, like so many said in reviews here, and frankly thought the tour could have been completed in much less than 3 hours, especially considering how little area we actually covered. I planned a big trip to NYC for my girlfriend and was led to believe I wouldn't need food after this until dinner, but ended up eating lunch right afterward. I would recommend if you are really interested in the history and culture of the village and would like some food along the way. NOT recommended if you want to taste all the wonderful food the area has to offer. |

| 1. Tour guide Cindy was wonderful. In addition to her warm and funny style, you realized that she was a vital part of the neighborhood as people on the street acknowledged and greeted her.
2. The time flew by quickly. It really could have been longer.
3. I'm glad we didn't take take out to "shop" because it's a waste of our time and her expertise.
4. Group size of 16 made it personalized -- any bigger would be hard to manage and feel impersonal.
5. More tastes of more things -- even if a little bitty mouthful.

| LOVED every detail with the food integrated with the history. Our guide was excellent, and the highlights for me had little to do with the food - though the food was exceptional and interesting, everywhere. Loved the little dips into the old nightclub and
historic restaurant. Was mezmerized my the stories of the past and who had come before in each place. The international olive oil company would be a good mention as one passes by, but no need to stop there as it is clearly not a local shop. Another local spot would be more interesting - even if the walk was a bit further away. Everything was very very close. Though the farro risotto was spectacular, and a real treat, the stop at this very modern restaurant could be accompanied with some kind of historical connection.
Thank you for an important highlight of our first visit to NYC! |

| Our guide Barri was smart and engaging. Three hours went by easily because it was broken up with tastings, interesting buildings and intriguing history. I would not recommend any of the tour be eliminated because it was all either yummy or fascinating. LOVED it! |

| This walking tour of the West Village was fun and interesting. The food samples were generous and tasty.
You will not get to sit down at each tasting; be prepared for three hours of walking or standing.
Overall, it was a postive experience. |
