Original Greenwich Village Food and Culture Tour

Really enjoyed the tour and Heather was a great guide. Food was plentiful and all good and fun to try. Next time we are in NYC want to do the tour through Chelsea.

Food was great, we loved the history and it shows you tucked away little places you would never have known about. Thanks for a wonderful time.

we thoroughly enjoyed it

Sefra was outstanding. I recommend her highly as she really connected with us and made the experience a highlight for my two teenagers.

The tour guide was the person who made this tour come alive! From the outset, Sephra was welcoming and approachable, and fun!! The good quality napkin is a really good idea, and was announced to the group with the appropriate gravitas! She also had great stories to tell about the neighbourhood, about NYC, and the history of some of the restaurants we went into (and some which we didn't!). Being a pastry chef herself, she also had opinions on chefs and their abilities/reputations which added a further dimension to the quality of the tour. I was a bit sceptical about the selection of restaurants/eateries that were included on the tour- thought there were too many Italian places- but the variety of foods that were tasted proved me wrong. It seemed ironic to be eating hot food on a very hot and humid day- despite this, of the foods on offer, it was the mac and cheese that was the clear winner for me. The canoli were too sweet and rich as a final item, after having had a fair amount of rich food, particularly cheese and carbs during the morning (pizza, arrancini and M&C)- perhaps a sorbet would have worked better, esp on such a hot day. I'd like to take a similar tour again, also in G Village, but with completely different restaurants- just as long as Sephra is the guide!!

I thoroughly enjoyed the history and the different types of foods of Greenwich! My kids ages 15, 17, & 19 were pretty bored though and we wound up leaving a little early. Also, the tour really stayed within a 2 block radius, I was hoping to see more of Greenwich.

Who could ask for anything more? Barri, our guide, blended the history of the area with some interesting details about the food establishments we visited. The food was amazing, the variety was terrific as there was something for everyone, foodies and non-foodies alike. My husband and I are food and history enthusiasts, so this provided a perfect combination. We learned architectural details about the area, historical facts and got some great insight into the food scene in Greenwich. One of the restaurants Barri recommended was where we had dinner that night - Palma Restaurant on Cornelia Street. It certainly stood up to the rave review that Barri gave this gem. We've decided that we will do this type of tour every time we come to New York or any other major city we visit - Paris is next. Do you have a tour recommendation?

My Girlfriend and I like our food and we booked this tour in advance from Australia on our first visit to New York. Kirt made this a totally unforgettable and fantastic experience. HIs enthusiasm and knowledge of Greenwich Village mixed in with the amazing food (which was more than what we could eat!) made this 3 hour tour worth every cent!!

My wife was very hesitant about this particular walking tour. However, after meeting the guide and tasting the great food along the way, she realized this was going to be a great experience. The guide was energetic, fun and knew all of our names within 5 minutes (14 people on tour). He also was well informed of the area and extremely well cultured. The guide took us to the best eateries, showed us famous places and commented on the architectural design of the buildings. This was by all means not a boring tour. There was plenty of food along the way, even though previous reviews said there was not enough to get filled up. I disagree!! We were stuffed by the end of the tour and I must say, the best food tasting was the vegetarian restaurant. So all in all, I highly recommend the Greenwich Village Food Tasting and Cultural Tour. It's a must when visiting NYC!!!

Our guide was very informative, friendly and entertaining. Not only did he take us to many diverse and great eating establishments, he was very knowledgeable about the area and provided many insights and factual pieces of information. We were very impressed with this tour and would highly recommend it to others.
