The weather was perfect, Zefra (sp?), was a fabulous guide, and the tour provided so much information, and delicious food! Thank you. I will definitely book another tour such as this one on my next trip to New York!

Great fun - everyone should do this tour!

Our group of 4 signed up for this tour not really knowing what to expect. What we got was three hours of fun, entertainment and speciality foods, including pizza, bread, olive oil, cheeses, risotto and patisserie. We also learned about the history of Greenwich Village, with expert guidance offered by Zephra, a New Yorker who was full of detail, anecdotes and jokes. We walked for most of the three hours, but at a leisurely pace and with several food stops. Each of us would thoroughly recommend this tour for teens and up; a very interesting way to spend three hours in NYC.

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.

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.

We really enjoyed our food tour at Greenwich Village and consider it to be one of the highlights of our trip to NY. A few days after the tour, we returned to one of the restaurants on the tour and had dinner there, making another highlight for us. Diana, our guide, was great...enthusiastic, cheerful, full of info and easy to be with for 3 hours. It was a good way to explore Greenwich Village without having to navigate the confusing layout of the streets ourselves. We would definitely go on a food tour again and will be recommending it to anyone we know of who is going to NY.

Loved every minute of it -our guide, Kirk, was entertaining and terrific! A great insight to the food scene in the Village and I learnt a bit about the history of the place. I went on the tour as an individual and met some lovely people from other parts of the world, one of whom I will keep in touch with. Thank you!
