I really enjoyed the tour. The restaurants that were chosen were a good combination and everything was great. I would make a suggestion though. Two pizza places on the same tour should maybe be one right after the other. We did one pizza place first and the other last. I think it should be food places, then dessert places. I think that maybe I should have gotten a credit for the my mom who I couldn't bring. My dad had surgery and she couldn't come and I didn't want to give her ticket to anyone.
Other that little tidbit, I really did enjoy it and would do it again. The tour guide Barri, was really knowledgable! |

We took this tour on the recommendation of a friend and are very pleased that we did! The guide was interesting and informative with an obvious love and knowledge of the area we were exploring. The eateries visited were nicely varied and the samples provided were very tasty indeed. One of the places, Home Restaurant, was so tempting that we returned under our own steam a few days later for lunch which certainly lived up to our expectations.
The tour was so interesting that we hardly noticed the rain! |

Met our wonderful guide, Heather, outside Murray's Cheese Shop on a rainy day. She was very knowledgeable and spoke clearly so everyone could hear her no matter where we were. Our family group included myself, my husband and our 2 daughters 17 and 12. From the moment we had our first bite of pizza at Joe's, we were hooked. Each stop was very interesting and the mac and cheese at Home Restaurant was a highlight. The entire family enjoyed learning about the area with it's unique culture and history and we look forward to coming back and spending more time there. |

I went in with low expectations. However, I'd definitely recommend the tour. Not only did we sample many of the local foods, but there was a nice amount of historical commentary by our guide as we traversed the villiage. I would definitely recommend it. |

We went on this tour on August 21st 2010, and we absolutely loved it. Our guide, Safra, was amazing, she kept us laughing and entertained the entire time. The great thing about this tour is that you not only get to sample food from some local restaurants, but you also get a bit of a history lesson about the neigborhood itself. Our guide was genuinely kind beyond words, she offered advice about our first trip to NYC, and assisted us in finding our way back to our hotel via the subway. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Manhattan, we will definitely be trying one of the other tours on our next trip back. |

To start Safra our tour guide was fabulous. She was the highlight of the tour. Her knowledge of not only the Greenwich area but her overall passion and enthusiasm was reflected in how warmly she was embraced by alot of the restauranteurs who we came in contact with. Kudo's. I will definately recommend this tour to others. |

I've been to NYC many times in the past, and this was the first year I attended an event like this. We had a great time walking around the Village hearing about the history, tasting delicious foods, and seeing many restaurants in the area. Our tour guide Sefra/Zefra (not sure how to spell it) made the tour entertaining and upbeat. If you can sign up for this tour with her, you will not regret it! |

We tasted food from at least eight different eateries/restaurants. We learned about the history of the neighborhood and other restaurants in the area and what they are all about . Barri, our tour guide was very knowledgable, and enthusiastic. Our children ages 13, 7 were a bit bored, but survived with the wonderful food samples spread out throughout the tour. |
