| It was a great tour. Well worth the time and money spent. The tour guide Barry was wonderful and she knew so much. We have been to the city several times and enjoyed your tour as much as some Broadway Shows! Keep up the good work. |

| It was great but it was too cold and there were too many sweets on the tour. I would have liked vegetables, fruits, seafood and meat. |

| This was a great tour! Great food (and plenty of it!), at multiple types of restaurants, peeks inside many of the small restaurants in the village, some of the old bars and speakeasies off the beaten path that not even New Yorkers know about, and some interesting historical info on the old village. The guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and the tour was very well-organized. Highly recommended for everyone from locals like me to tourists from all over the world! |

| Your food tour was recommended to me by a patient who had really enjoyed learning a little history of New York. We too, enjoyed learning about this area and was helpful in later deciding on places to eat and drink. Thank you, for a great and interesting tour. |

| My best friend and I only had 4 days to spend in New York (first timers!). We're big food fans and having sooo many places to pick from in NY, we thought this tour would be a great way to sample some of the best local fare. We were not disappointed! Cindy was the BEST tour guide, she was funny and witty and really made the history of the area come alive and kept us engaged and our bellies full. We covered a wide area at a nice leisurely pace. I read some of the other reviews saying that the samples weren't big enough - I wholeheartedly disagree - I thought the portions were very generous and of good variety. Being a Chicago pizza snob my whole life, even I cast my vote for the New York slices by the end of the tour. Now how about an all-pizza tour for us diehard fans! I don't mean to downplay the history portion of the tour, which I enjoyed very much. Believe me - If you love history, you'll love this tour. And if you hate history, you will still love this tour! Cindy doesn't give a boring textbook lesson, she regaled us with tales of the unique and the quirky, and yes, even the scandalous. (oh my!). This was truly one of the highlights of our trip - I would highly recommend it to anyone! Thanks again to Cindy - great job! |

| This is my fifth tour with FONY and each one has surpassed the previous one. Our guide, Michael, was a walking encyclopedia of the Village, his facts delivered in the style of a great stand-up comic. We can't recommend these tours enough, both for New Yorkers and for the rest of the world! |

| We enjoyed the food tour of Greenwich Village greatly, although its not just about food. This was our first trip to New York and we had an enjoyable and informative time which would not have been possible without our guide's insider knowledge.
Our guide, Jenny was entertaining and knowledgable and her enthusiasm for the area was infectious. As a result of tips from the tour we were able to get much more out of the rest of our day in the area and had a great meal at Surya followed by jazz music at the Cornelia Street Cafe.
Very much recommended. |

| This walk was wonderful, a highlight of our week in NYC. The tour guide, Cindy, was absolutely great. She knew everything, everybody, and was totally entertaining. We cannot recommend more highly our experieince and will recommend it to others as well as take another food tour next time we visit. |

| While i did enjoy the day, the cost was expensive for what you got.
The guide was nice (Heather) and kept the tour going at a reasonable pace. Was informative, and we tipped accordingly.
The food stops were not great value and it would have been nice to sample some coffee.
You should drop the visit to the spice herb shop as it is old, dirty and full of garbage (and wandering cats for people allergic to cats !)
Considering the number of eateries oin the area, a few more food stops and food tastings would be preferred.
Overall an interesting tour, but not great value for money. |
