We thoroughly enjoyed the Greenwich Village tour and thought it was more fun than the advertising led us to expect. The guide was excellent, and we learned a lot. |

Not worth the price |

Our tour guide was good. Very personable and had a few good stories that helped it remain interesting. The food samples were average and really not that interesting-except, perhaps, the true NY pizza mini-slice that was thin and crisp. Plus the tour didn't contain enough actual cultural or historical information to make up for the low-end food samples. I felt that we paid $50 each for free samples at Costco. I love historical walking tours that I've taken in London, Montreal, Santa Fe, and Quebec City. I hoped that the added food focus would be more exciting since we are interested in food. Sorry, can't recommend this to my friends. |

This tour was great. I loved the city and all the information taught on the tour. We ate a lot of good food on the tour so go hungry. The tour guide was very knowledgable and fun. I cannot imagine a better way to see the city and experience some of the best foods. |

GREAT TIME! |

My two sisters and I really enjoyed this tour. Our tour guide, Barri was very good. There is plenty of delicious food; no need for lunch afterwards... |

Without a doubt, the best tour we have taken. Not sure if all the guides are equally as talented, but Michael made this extremely interesting and loads of fun. We had been concerned that the lengh of the tour was a bit long, but the time just flew by and we truly enjoyed every minute. The food was really good - along with some usual - but exceptionally good pizza - we also tried unique dishes that truly made us wish we had open evenings for dinner. As other reviewers have noted, it's a good idea to do this at the beginning of your trip rather than the end so you have time to go back and enjoy even more. And I have to admit, although I'm not much of a history buff, Michael's knowledge and excellent stories as we strolled through the area made for an exciting and fascinating look at Greenwich Village. Quite honestly, by the end of the tour, I think most of us were ready to chuck our jobs and find some way to become a part of this varied and unique community. Hats off to Michael - this was a real highlight of our visit to NYC!!! |

I previously sent an e-mail detailing how much we enjoyed the tour. Our leader, Michael Karp, did an extraordinary job. He was very knowlegable and his love of the area was evident. We loved the food and the history discussions. This tour was highly recommended to us by friends and we are doing the same to others. |

Michael was our guide and did an outstanding job. He was knowledgable, very personable, delightful and made sure our group thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The food was delicious as were the stories about the neighborhood. We look forward to going on other food tours with your company and will highly recommend you to our friends and family. |

This is my second tour as well as the second time visiting New York!!! I can not say more how wonderful the tour is. The first time I went on the tour was with a group of girlfriends and we loved it so much I had to do it again this time with my boyfriend.
Greenwich Village is such an unique gem in Manhatten!!! After the tour we headed to Fish Seafood Restaurant for their "happy hour", which was suggested during our tour. Later we stumbled over to The Back Fence bar for some Brooklyn Lager and live music. On our last day of our trip, Greenwich Village was on the list! We ate lunch at Palma and even after some shopping we ended our day with another slice of Nonna Maria at Bleeker Street Pizza. The only disappointment was Chunley's. Being that my boyfriend is a writer, I knew he would of love to see all that history in Chumley's!! But the history is so amazing overall.
I always recommend this tour to anyone visiting New York. With plans to move to New York later this year, I will definitely will take the tour when family and friends come to visit us. Thanks once again for such a memorable time in Greenwich!! |
