| I really recommend this tour. It's a great way of seeing and experiencing a neighbourhood. A helpful and informative guide makes the tour go all too quickly. Can't wait to go back to NY and spend more time in Greenwich Village!! |

| My husband and I booked this on recommendation of a friend. We loved finding out about the history of the area as well as the food tastings on the way. Plenty to eat, and we would definitely go back and do another food tour when we visit NY again. |

| I would highly recommend this tour. Our tour guide (Sephra) was very informative not only on the restaurants with tastings, but also sights, restaurants, and culture around the Greenwich Village area. |

Take the tour only if you enjoy food tasting

| Overall, I had a good time on the Greenwich Village Food Tasting and Cultural Tour and the tour guide was very comical. I really enjoyed tasting the various foods on the tour (some food tasting stops were better than others though) and the tour did a great job of accomodating a vegetarian diet. If you enjoy food tasting and plan on revisiting the Greenwich Village area during your trip, then this is a really good tour to take because the tour guide gives you restaurant recommendations.
However, if you are taking the tour to learn about the culture/history of Greenwich Village, then I would recommend taking another tour because I didn't learn very much about the area. Although this is a 3 hour tour, a lot of the time is spent waiting for the tour guide to go into the restaurant and bring out the food to the group. Also, I was hoping to explore more of the Greenwich Village area, but you basically stay on the same street during the tour.
I think this tour is overpriced for what it is. |

| I took my first Zerve food/culture walking tour in Chicago & was SO impressed by the tour guide's knowledge, enthusiasm & friendliness. I assumed she was "special" & the guide in NYC likely wouldn't be as good. Wrong. I'm still trying to figure out how Zerve identifies & retains such passionate, yet organized people. The information is presented in such a memorable way that I still remember it, the exoerience is designed to make everyone feel welcome/included & the food is great! |

| I bought my husband the food tour gift certificate for Greenvich Village last Christmas. He is a guy who does not do museums, art galleries, or anything where you have to walk or stand for a long period of time. But this tour was different. The three hours go by very quickly. The food was delicious (and yes, we were full at the end), but I was delighted by how interesting our tour guide was. She gave us great bits of history and culture that I would never have known. We are from NJ and get into the city about once a month - but now we feel a connection with the Village like we never had before. And we had an opportunity to sit and relax about half way through the tour (which my husband appreciated :) Plus, we received a pamphlet of all the restaurants we visited and a map. So now we know exactly where to go next time we are in town. The perfect city activity! Highly recommended! |

| This is a fun & different sort of NY afternoon - it's a great alternative to sitting in a restaurant or going to a show. This is our 2nd tour (we did the Chelsea Market tour last year) and I'd highly recommend it, for locals as well as tourists! |
