Out of town guests loved this tour!

This is our 4th time on this tour, bringing out of state guests to learn about NY. We were pleased with the new additions and changes, as well as a return to O and Co, our favorite olive oil shop. And Murray's can't be beat for cheeses. Our family loved Greenwich Village and were impressed with their first NY trip and the quality of the tour. They can't wait to return and try another one.

Excellent food and guide

The guide was friendly with good knowledge of locality imparted with a good dollop of humour. If you want to know the cost of living in Greenwich village then Karrie is the guide for you! Tasting started with a very good pizza slice followed by an olive oil tasting - the walk was liberally sprinkled with varied tastings, all of them good. (It helps if you have a sweet tooth!) We overran the 3 hours but it did not seem that long. We did not have much of an appetite for our evening meal because we sampled so much good food. Thoroughly recommended as an intro to a nice part of New York City.

Tour was very fun activity to do if you have time. We received a lot of delicious food and learned a lot about the neighborhood. Our tour was very informative and helpful by answering all our questions. A must do if you want to experience the Village.

Fantastic way to spend an afternoon

My wife and I were on the Greenwich Village food tour with Kerry Ann as our guide. It was a perfect way to spend a Saturday afternoon. We have been to NYC several times before, but this was the first time we decided to take a food tour. We read several positive reviews on Trip Advisor and thought it sounded like a unique tour. The tour stopped at several unique locations. The food samples included pizza, olive oil (which sounds strange, but was exceptional), cheese, cookies and several others. There were more than enough food samples to keep everyone full. For me, what set this tour apart was Kerry Ann also spoke about the architecture in Greenwich Village. Walking two blocks away from the busy intersection turns the city feel into a European village. Kerry Ann knows not only her food, but also her architecture. In summary, I would recommend this tour to anyone that hasn't experienced Greenwich Village before. It is such a cool area that you would never experience without having a tour guide. We only covered a few city blocks so walking for three hours was not a problem. There were several breaks over the time period. My wife and I enjoyed the tour so much we traveled back to Greenwich Village from Times Square so we could go to dinner at one of the restaurants we visited. I hope you enjoy the tour as much as my wife and I did.

Excellent guide. Varied and interesting food with just enough area information to appreciate Greenwich Village. A few streets off the beaten path to give you a sense of New York beyond only tourist sights. Highly recommend.

Best introduction to a new place is thru it's food

Heather was our guide and she was everything a guide should be , and more. We got food, history, gossip, culture, a recipe, a celebrity (almost) and enough suggestions to make eating out during our stay a real joy. If we make it to New York again we would book another Food Tour without a single hesitation.

Great introduction to new neighborhoods

As a newcomer to the city, it can be overwhelming to explore all the various areas of the city. This is why I so enjoyed the Greenwich tour because it carved out a small section of town to get to know. I will definetly return to visit this area again. Found some great restaurants and speciality food stores I will visit in the near future. The architectural tour was very intersting and added a nice balance to the tour.

The Greenwich Food Tour was amazing! First, our guide, Bert,was fantastic - his knowledge of the neighborhood, the architecture and food in general was so impressive and definitely made our tour. This was one of the best things we did on our visit and I would recommend to anyone visiting NYC.
