| This is a such a great deal and experience for anyone who loves New York and food. Not only do you get to visit some incredible restaurants, but you also walk away with a greater understanding about the history of New York. I am easily recommending this adventure to my friends who will be visiting in the next few months. |

| This tour not only covers the history of the West Village, it keeps you full as well. The choice of stops for food tasting is excellent and the variety is well thought out. Highly recommended.

| My husband and I had a great time. The tour was easy to keep up with, our guide was super friendly and very funny and made sure to move around so that everyone could hear. We were given good sized samples so that we were not hungry after. (I was expecting tiny samples.) We would highly recommend this tour to anyone. |

| The Food and Cultural tour was amazing. I feel in love with Greenwich Village and West Village. I have not had that much fun in years. The food was fantastic, but even better was learning about the history of Greenwich Village. I was so exhilarated after the tour.....every sense was satisfied. I also thought the tour was a steal for $44 per person. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to have a fantastic time while learning about NY. I have told all my friends....I plan on bringing my Mother and sister soon. The tour is a must do for anyone..even if you live in NY. |

| We had a delightful day in Greenwich Village sampling some of the local fare. Our tour guide, Sephora, was knowledgeable and funny - she kept us laughing the whole time. I think the main purpose of the tour was to get us comfortable with the surrounding area. We would not hesitate to make a return trip to try out the local restaurants. The only downside - it was a little heavy on the carbs! ....but the food was delicious. |

| I had taken this tour 10 years ago and it is still fabulous!! A wonderfully detailed way to get to know a neighborhood and so tasty!! The cook at Palma even made us wonderful blueberry muffins, totally unexpectedly. I was with native New Yorkers and they loved getting to know their city in such a focused way. My only 'complaint' is that it would be better to keep the group to around 10 folks, instead of 16.
thank you so much, Marie! You did an awesome job. |

| Great tour, not only did I discover some great places to eat and shop but I also learned a lot about the area, which i did not expect. Sometimes being in a big city like NYC can be overwhelming but this was just what I needed to make the city more personal for me. |

| Our guide was informative and friendly. The food was more than enough for lunch. We really enjoyed the tips and coupons for places in the area. That will really help on a return visit. |

| Food portion of the tour was good; I would have liked more inclusion of more food-related stops and less lengthy lecture on the surrounding buildings, ironwork, artists, politicians, the Bronx, etc. |

| Our tour guide did a great job of creating a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. We liked the way she engaged members of the group, especially the children. Given her professinal background in the culinary arts, she was able to bring considerable knowledge to a discussion of the foods we tasted and the restaurants in the neighborhood.
The architectural features of the historic buildings that she pointed out were well chosen -- enough detail to bring an era to life, but not so much as to be overwhelming. We came away with a feeling of connectedness to the area, so much so, that an article in Tuesday's New York Times about the South Village turned us into preservation advocates.
We plan to return to NY for another food tour, and for dinner at one of the neighborhood restaurants. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon.
