| We had a wonderful time on this tour of the Greenwich village. Its a three hour tour but we did'nt even notice the time. Our guide was very pleasant and funny. He gave us so much insight into the history and culture of the village, we sampled alot of delicious food from pizza to cheeses to chocolates to dona kebabs to olive oil from all the mom and pop restaurants in the area. IAfter the tour, we bought our supply of olive oil from O & Co and had gelato from a shop right next to Bleeker Street Pizza- delicious! Oh and the pizza from Bleeker Street Pizza which we had on the tour - hmmmm good!! This is a must do tour for those wanting to do something a little off the beaten path in NYC. |

| What a great way to spend an afternoon. The food was excellent and the historical info was a great addition. If you are not familiar with the village this is a great way to get your bearings for future trips. |

| The perfect mix of history, culture, and eating great food. Over the next 2 days we went back to 6 of the establishments recommended on the tour. All of them exceeded our expectations. Our tour guide Amy did an excellent job of educating us, feeding us, keeping us from getting run over. |

| Our guide was a very enthusiastic as well as entertaining. She provided us with a historical view into Greenwich Village that was very enlightening. We enjoyed the
various food stops as well as samples provided there. All in all I would recommend this tour to anyone visting New York. It was intimate and like a fresh breath of air away from the busy traffic around Times Square and surrounding area. |

| I really had a great time. I would have liked a tasting at O & CO. Although we could have gone at the end by ourselves, I just think we needed one more tasting someplace along the tour. I went on the other tour you guys offer in the Meatpacking Dis. and I think I got more food on that one. My guests from London really enjoyed this tour. They had a great time. Thanks |

Michael our guide was really entertaining and very informative and we would really recommend this tour and look forward to going back to greenwich village some day, perhaps when it is a bit warmer!!

| A freezing January day was warmed by our guide's enthusiastic manner. Me and my gf agree with other reviewers on the food half - a little unbalanced with mostly carb stuff and not really enough to keep you full for three hours. The bites we had were great, though, and the restaurant and food store recommendations were valuable for us out-of-towners (we returned to one restaurant and two stores, with satisfying results). But the cultural half was even better than we had expected. If you know New York inside out the information might be a little on the obvious side, but, again, as visitors we learned a lot about the history of Greenwich Village (that will make us a pain in dinner conversations from now on). |

| Just went on the tour this week. This was our second food tour in the US and it was by far the better of the two (other was in China Town in San Fran). There were numerous opportunities to sample foods and lots of info about the neighborhood and history of restaurants and the area. The only down side was there was quite a bit of stopping in front of restaurants and talking about their menu, but not going inside or learning anything else about it. This is great if you are staying in Greenwich Village and want to eat there several more times during your trip or are a local who can use this info, but otherwise, its a little bit of a waste. Overall, it was an excellent experience. |

| The walking tour was a great way to spend a mid- morning. The information given by our guide, Heather, was informative as well as interesting. All the street shops had a unique story of how the mom & pop stores struggled to survive through the years. The food was an extra bonus!
Do this tour if you're looking for a good activity. |
