| We really enjoyed the entire experience. Cindy was very fun and informative. All of the food stops were great. We have already told everyone that asked about our trip how much fun your tour was. We will definitely try the Chelsea tour next year. |

| Outstanding! Our lead guide Cindy grew up in the Village and has lived there most of her life; her casual style and her training as a professional theatre performer commanded the group’s full attention. All the eatery shopkeepers love her and we enjoyed the extra attention. Our other tour with Todd in the Chelsea Food Market was also outstanding.
By contrast, for Sunday we had also booked an eating tour with Big Onion Tours in the Lower East Side. As a crowd gathered at the meeting place I inquired about the size of the group; they do 35 customers per guide and consume part of the tour time collecting payment from that many people. Needless to say, we walked away.

| Great way to see Greenwich Village. The tour guide was a local of some 25 years in the area. He provided historical and architectural information as well as some of the current local gossip. And of course, the introduction to local eateries and food shops was tremendous! I felt as if I knew Greenwich Village better than any of the other neighborhoods I had visited in NY. |

| Thoroughly recommend it! best walking tour I have been on and I have travelled extensively all over the world - always choose the walking tour option and this was just fantastic - probably on a par with Paris Walking Tours |

| I enjoyed the historic portions, wonderfully narrated by Mike, not readily found on tour books. Restaurant previews were especially good for later returns, Mike was very efficient in keeping the group's attention. I have recommended the tour to friends. Thank you. |

| I have told at least 5-6 people since I have returned home-what we did and how much fun it was. My daughter lives in Brooklyn and commented that she could go to the Village tons of times and still not frequent the places we did nor learn about the history of the area. She absolutely loved it. I have enbarked on a 2nd career and am earning a culinary degree from Kendall College in Chicago. We both had a blast and I need to say that Cindy our guide was absolutely Excellent. You can tell she loves the city and loves what she is doing. I would recommend this tour a million times over--it truly reveals the heart of the city!!!! |

| We LOVED it- It was the highlight of our trip. I recommend doing the tour early in your trip so that you can eat at all of the restaurants!! Michael was our tour guide, he lives in the area- and gave us lots of wonderful history- and info on where to eat!! I can't wait to go back for another tour!!!
Greatly Exceeded my expectations!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - Without a doubt!!!!! |
