| The tour was educational, recreational and delightful.
The tour guide was most informative not only about the restaurants participating but also had a keen sense of history of the neighborhoods which for me was the topping on the cupcake so to speak.
The restauranteurs and the selections for tasting were just right.
I will recommend to many friends. |

| A group of friends and I took the tour of Greenwich on Friday 18th September and really enjoyed it. Our guide, Marie obviously knew the area and all the local characters very well and told us all about the history behind some of the area's best restaurants and eateries.
If you are visiting New York I would recommend you do this tour early in your visit as you will definitely want to go back to some of the places you learn about.
The tastings were lovely too, with plenty for the veggie's too! |

Knowledgeable leader and great tastings.

| The Greenwich Village tour offered a wealth of information about this neighbourhood along with some delicious tastings. The tour was extremely concentrated in a small section of the Village, and we would have liked to travel a bit farther - it seems that standing still is more difficult than walking! While we thoroughly enjoyed the tastings from the various restaurants and proprietors on the tour, we would have appreciated being able to wander through more of the establishments for a greater appreciation of the wide variety of products some of the shops offer. Having said this, we feel well armed to return to Greenwich Village to further explore some of the restaurants we were introduced to. Thanks to our awesome tour guide for her expertise and enthusiasm! |

| Sephrah was our tour guide and she was very enthusiastic about giving us a great tour. She explained everything in great detail and answered all our questions. She had an excellent relationship with all the businesses we entered. The food we tried was excellent. We even entered several establishments that were closed just to see the inside and hear about stories or architectural oddities! Walking through the neighborhood gave, for me, a more intimate look into the lives of people who actually live in Manhattan. There were even several New Yorkers on the tour just wanting to learn about new restaurants! I can't express sufficiently how thrilled I was with this tour. I am looking forward to my next trip so I can make some reservations for many excellent meals!!!
Bravo Sephrah, thanks for the amazing day! |

| Strongly encourage everyone to take this tour, it was the best three hours filled with lovely strolling and yummy treats to eat. The Village is beauitful and we experienced a part of it's charm that on our own we would not have. We even had a celebrity siting - Woopy Goldberg @ Murray's cheese shop!!! My daughter & son-in-law are taking the same tour next month on their visit to NYC. Luv, luv, luved it!!!!! |

| Party of four Australians recently took this tour and thoroughly enjoyed the morning. Our guide was Billie who was most informative about the history of the area and the different cultures that make up Greenwich. The tastings were well planned and after 8 tastings in all over a 3 hour period we certainly didn't need any more food .
Billie pointed out various eating places for our return to this area which we simply can't wait to revisit. This tour was recommended to us by a previous Australian visitor and we were certainly thrilled with our experience.
Would only say to anyone planning this tour - don't eat before your tour begins!!! |

| Information - wonderfully delighted on the information shared
Food- incredible, can' wait to try complete dining at all of the places on the tour
Tour Guide - completely made the day, no other words but GREAT
Would recommend this to everyone that wants to tour the village. Not a lot of walking, so this would be suitable for anyone that can walk slowly for a few blocks. This is a don't miss when sight seeing in NYC! |

| Our delightful guide, Sephrah, really took great care of our group. She had a great sense of humor and was informative and very knowedgable about Greenwich Village and food. Speaking of food...you certainly get your money's worth and everything we ate was delicious. Definitely would recommend. |

| Went on the tour on our 1st day in NYC. We were introduced to bakeries and shops which we went back to after the tour as we wanted to try food that wasn't available during the tastings, and to buy others that were. (Murray's cheese store - loved 'ewphoria' cheese, Milk and Cookies - really good choc chip cookies, Rocco - great NY cheesecake). I would recommend going on the tour on a weekday as the streets were pretty busy when we returned at the weekend. There was a lot of food - we were stuffed for many hours afterwards! (Not advisable to have a big breakfast on the day). We were also given a brief history of various places of interest around greenwich village which was good and not overwhelming. Tour guide (Zefra?) was helful and friendly. |
