| Our guide (Heather) was excellent! Very informative, knowledgable of the area, and fun. We are a group of upstate NY and Metro NJ friends who learned things about Greenwich Village that surprised us all. I am already planning on doing this tour again with my huband and adult children. THANK YOU!!! |

| It was great! We would do it again (and we probably will)! Our guide was fantastic. We had more food than we could have guessed, and it was all good. Plus we learned about the neighborhood and history. It is a fun way to spend an afternoon in New York! Really, don't wait, just go ahead now and make your reservations. |

| Our guide was Curt Upton, and in my opinion the tour could not have better. The
Tour took a little over 3 hours and not once in that time period was I bored or
Wanting for something to do. The guide was funny and extremly knowledgable
About the area and all of the local of interest. The food was fantastic and well chosen.
Even though I just went on the tour I would go again in a heart beat. Well worth the
Money and then some. |

| I hope I spelled Barrie's name correctly. She was an outstanding tour guide. She was very knowledgeable about Greenwich Village, and about its history. She seemed to have a great love of the Village and of NY in general. She kept us going at a good pace, and politely answered all of our questions.
The stops along the way were fabulous....great samplings of food, and a nice variety of places. I really enjoyed the whole visit, and would recommend it highly. |

| I loved this tour. It was so informative and of course the food was amazing. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgable and I feel like I know more about the neighborhood than most local New Yorkers. Next time I am back to the city I will definitely do another one and eat at the reccommended resturaunts. |

| Our group of nine consisted of three former New Yorkers, two Brits and visitors from Kentucky, Michigan and Massachusetts. All LOVED this tour. Our tour day was rainy and cool but nothing dampened our experience. We learned about the Village and ate our way from pizza to cookies and from a subtle cauliflower appetizer to faux BBQ'd pork at a Japanese vegetarian restaurant (and yes, you read that correctly). We learned about early Village history and it's modern development; about Washington Irving and Edna St. Vincent Millay; about Cherry Lane Theatre and basement jazz on Cornelia St. Dave, our guide was great. It is hard to please all of the people all of the time but Dave did this for more than three hours of fabulous fare and fun - even the jaded former New Yorkers were dazzled by what had been in their backyard, missed till now. |

| Dave was a terrific tour guide - enthusiastic, spoke clearly and audibly, seemed to know a lot of trivia and information about the area and the restaurants. I highly recommend him.
I really enjoy Japanese food but the Japanese pseudo pork and mini bento box was very poor. I was very disappoonted in that. The rice ball at the start of the tour was not served hot enough, either.
I attended a tour in late August and the food was much better. We did not do either the Japanese place or the rice ball. We had a chocolate breadstick and a thick slice of pizza instead. These were both better options. |

| If you live someplace else, but love NY, you must do this tour! Perfect balance of tastings, trivia and history. Cindy was the guide for my tour and she was entertaining and hospitable; made me feel right at home in the Village. I wish every destination I traveled to, offered a tour like this. I plan to do the other tours over time, during my visits to NY. Bring your appetite, it's a movable feast! |
