| My boyfriend and I went initially just to explore the different foods, but we came out ahead because along with the food came history that we may have never known if it weren't for this experience. In addition, our tour guide Cindy was amazing. Our tour lasted for three hours but we didn't realize it because she was a great entertainer. My boyfriend who is usually skeptical about everything, states " I would do it again". |

| This was a very interesting way to see the older part of the Village, even tho we had been in this neighborhood many times before. Our guide was fun and funny and very well-informed--not only about food but also the history of the architecture and the interesting people populating the area. It also must be said that your website is very easy to use and all acknowledgements and charges appeared quickly and promptly. We don't know exactly how you market this tour but we heard of it thru a retired travel agent at a party in our hometown. In all of our past trips to NYC we had never known that such a tour existed. We will get the word out! |

| This tour, of about 3 hours duration, was much fun. It's more about the history and culture of Greenwich Village than the food although the stops at a variety of restaurants, shops and haunts was more than welcome. Our tour guide, Michael, was very well informed and presented his remarks with humor and flair. The group of about a dozen was friendly and easy to be with. My wife had taken the tour previously with a girlfriend and I'm glad she took me along for the second trip.
Highly recommended. |

| My wife and I took the Greenwich Village tour in mid Feb. and fortunately the weather cooperated nicely and the group was small (4 of us plus the guide).
Our guide, Susan, was very knowledgeable about the area and seemed to know the various merchants quite well. The food stops were excellent and quite diverse (Italian Pizza and baked goods, Asian food, seafood, cheeses and meats) and the history lesson of the area was very interesting.
The tour did not require much walking and was a full and interesting 3 hours.
Next, we will do the Chelsea/Meatpacking district tour. |

| my wife and i chose to do our own sight seeing whilst in new york in the theory that we could see and do more independently than on the usual city tours and possibly getting gridlocked in the traffic.however we booked this activity to gain some knowledge of the area and were not disappointed.the guide had such a vast knowledge of the area and a vast array of history and stories to tell i think helped by the fact he had lived in the area for many years.the locals all seemed to know him and you could see he was well respected in the community.he had interesting tales about all aspects of life in the village anecdotes about all the different buildings restaurants shops and foods we stopped to try. in our group we were the only non americans but everyone in the group were included and mixed well. i would strongly recommend this activity to anyone of any age looking to get a true feel of an area by someone who is obviously passionate about his community |

| We are "foodies" so this was a treat...even our 14 year old son whose normally
only goes for hot dogs, hamburgers, mac and cheese, pizza, etc. loved the tour.
I'd recommend it to all my friends and clients.
Thanks again.

| This tour provides a great intro to Greenwich Village, enabling visitors to make informed decisions concerning restaurant and entertainment choices plus souvenirs and take-home gifts. The tour guide provides enough historical anecdotes to put the sites into perspective and add to one's appreciation of the neighborhood and its inhabitants. The tour includes enough food to serve as lunch. This tour is not suited for people having trouble walking or standing for three hours. |
