Highly recommend the tour. Learned a lot about the history of the area in addition to the wonderful food tastings. Guide knew the area since she had lived there and she was able to make the area come alive. |

This is a great way to get a good feeling for the heart of NYC. We arrived the night before and did this tour first thing the next day. Helped us really see a part of New York in detail and understand some of the history and flavours of New York. To be honest we have food as good if not better at home but the tour gave us an understanding of the option that the Village offers. Loved the diversity of the food options available and the back stories behind each restaurant. The history of the neighbourhood was also really interesting. Our guide was great, informative and helpful. The tour was professional and makes me wonder why we don't have something similar at home. I would recommend this to anybody visiting New York for the first time or anybody who wants a detailed tour of one particular area in New York - a must do in NYC. |

If you are looking to get some inspiration on where to eat in the village and where to get the best food this tour really does it!!!
It was great to get to visit a variety of shops in the area and get some information about the area you are in as well. My friend and I ended up going back to several of them to pick up some nice food or to go out to eat.
Joe's Pizza go another visit as the pizza was very tasty - even with only a few ingredients they have managed to create a wonderful tasting slice. Not fatty and not stingy on the portions either!!
We went back to Cornelia Street Cafe for some evening entertainment (one of the higlights of our trip to New York) and a lovely dinner as well.
Going back to Little Havana for dinner was a real treat.You can taste the home cooked tast of the food and the love with which it was made.
One day we decided to do a picnic on the Husdon and got our bread from Amy's Bread, the cheese from Murrays Cheese Shop and some delicious rice balls from Faicco's, followed by some Cookies from Milk and Cookies... it was HEAVENLY and brought back all the good memories of the food tour.
Another place we went back to was Pesce Pasta - lovely anti pasta, agreat bottle of wine and some great food for a most reasonable budget.
Snack Taverna was not covered on the tour itself but was in the leaflet and we had a lovely dinner there as well. Possibly the best taramasalata I have ever had!!
The good thing about the food tour is that it gives you the feeling that any place covered in it, even if you do not get to taste their food on the spot, will be worth a visit in our case that certainly was the case.
Our guide Heather had only been guiding tours for a short while but you would never know it form the way she brought the area to life with her stories and she managed to cover plenty of ground whilst going round whizzing us through the stops on the tour.
You will never go hungry again in the village if you do this tour!!! |

If you are looking for something fun to do with your day in NYC that doesn't include walking the streets with shops you cannot afford, or going to the same ole' Gap you have at home, then this is perfect for you!
It's fun, educational, and fills you up! You learn about Greenwich Village, you are off the beat and path of chaos and you get to eat great food! It's totally worth $44. Even if I would have had to pay $80, it would have been worth it. |

As always, a great experience!!! |

This was the second time I did this walking tour. The first time was about 2 and half years ago when I used the tour as a date. It went over VERY well.
This time I went with a friend who also seemed to enjoy it a great deal. It was good to see that they try to keep things current. There were some notably differences from the first time and this time.
2+ years ago the tour was more focused on the food and had a lot more samplings. This time around there was less foos to sample, but still plenty to keep you filled. That said, I wish they would substitue the second pizza stop with something else. And also when we hit the pastery store on bleecker, I got my mouth watering for some gelato.. might be good if they end the tour with something like that.
I also noticed this time there was a lot more history and culture added. The geek inside me and my friend loved all the historical tidbits we picked up on the tour.
I also noticed an improvement in the quality of tour guide. The first time are tour guide was personable and made the experience fun, but you could tell she was working from a script. This time, Heather (our guide), did a great job and seemed so natural in the knowledge she was sharing with us.
I do recommend this event for someone looking to do something off the beaten path on a date or with friends. |

Our guide, Heather, was wonderful! She knew her stuff, made all the guests feel comfortable and three hour tour flew! Heather was enthusiastic and fun! We highly recommend her talents!
The eight food tastings were well chosen, each delicious in their own right but could have been a more diverse mix of foods. ie: we ate alot of bread & cheese.
We did not realize the food tour would also include neighborhood restaurant highlights, Village history or fun food facts and these surprise additions rounded out a well planned tour.
Suggestion: If this tour could include or substitute one of the other stops with a gelato or ice creaM tasting or something cool to drink we think it would be a nice addition.
The restaurant LIME was a delightful stop as well.
All in all, our group of eight was entertained and food tour satisfied. A lovely way to spend a Sunday.
