Original Greenwich Village Food and Culture Tour

Found this on a search of google for fun things to do in New York City. The guide was very enthusiastic, knowledgeable and very entertaining. The tastes of everything were very good, and we would enthusiastically recommend this tour.

My 16 year old daughter and I signed up for the tour and it was everything I had hoped for and more. We had a wonderful, knowledgable guide who couldn't have been more accommodating to everyone on the tour. We learned so many interesting cultural, historical and fun facts about Greenwich Village and the tastings at the local restaurants were amazingly delicious! I would truly recommend it for anyone looking for a fun afternoon!

We enjoyed this tremendously and will definitely take another walking tour with this group.

I enjoyed the tour. The guide, Heather, was enthusiastic and showed us a small portion of Greenwich Village. She was informative and happy to answer any extra questions. There was a strong emphasis on Italian food. I expected to have to travel a wider area than we covered. If I had been staying in NY for longer, the tour would have made me want to explore Greenwich Village in more detail but branch out into a wider area.

Our tour guide was fantastic. The tour was so much more than a food tour. The information on Greenwich Village was extremely good. And, the food was fantastic.

I had seen this tour on the Today Show and it turned out to be everything I thought it would be. It was a beautiful day, our tour guide Heather was fabulous, friendly,and very knowledgeable. There was a variety of food to try,each with it's own story. We actually had dinner at one of the places we stopped which was exceptional in every way. We have been to New York on several occasions and I have to say this was a unique experience and one I would recommend very highly.

We enjoyed this immensely. The food was great and always hot and fresh. We also learned some history of the neighborhood along the way. Great way to spend a few hours and really get to know the village.

This is the second time in three years I've gone on this particular Greenwich Village Food Tasting and Culture Tour. After going the first time, I had to share the experience with my significant other - who also enjoyed it. Anyone who is doing the "tourist thing" in New York must try this tour. Greenwich Village is a slice of true New York living and gets you out of the tourism and hustle & bustle of Times Square and Central Park. The tour guides that I've had, including Marie on this last one, are fascinating historians and experts in the area and culture. It's fun, informative, and tasty! Do not hesitate to try this with your family and friends.

My friend and I went on the tour not knowing what to expect. Well, it turned out to be a highlight of our visit to the city. The tastes were wonderful, and very filling. We didn't need to go out for a big dinner that night. Our guide, Marie, was very knowledgeable and energetic and fun. She told us history of the neighborhood and answered all our questions, and gave us future dining and shopping tips. After the tour we stayed around the Village and returned a few days later to get more of the delicious pizza, and other treats we sampled. By all means go and enjoy!

We enjoyed our tour very much, and found Marie to be a delight on legs. Let me first write about her: Accomodating, thoughtful and knowledgeable, Marie was a terrific ambassador for your group - she answered questions carefully and patiently and was considerate of people's comfort and time. Great job, Marie. As for the samples themsleves, they were ready when we were - the tour seemed highly organized and the proprietors were generous and varied in presenting their samples. I would happily go again and would recommend the activity to anyone visiting the New York area. It got us up and out into a new neighborhood with new character - I was pleased with the whole experience.
