We loved our guide. Very knowledgeable and humorous. The food and experience were wonderful. Not only would I recommend this to friends, I will be back to take additional friends through this tour and others. Thank you for your work with local establishments to make this experience the best it can be.

This tour was the highlight of our trip (even through the RAIN)! I've been recommending this to everyone. Cindy (our tour guide) was awesome...very informative about the food and the area. The food was awesome...we left stuffed!

A great experience even in a crazy rainstorm

Our guide, Cindy, was fantastic!! She dressed for the weather - like Gumby as she called herself, and convinced us to have fun and make the best of it. It was a torrential downpour the entire afternoon - flooding in NYC and New Jersey this past weekend, no kidding - we're talking crazy rain and wind!! Cindy made sure we stayed inside as much as possible and kept on telling us how great we were for braving the weather. That said, the food was fantastic - we will definitely be making reservations for dinner at a couple of the restaurants we sampled. The tour was interesting, alot of fun (we even played a trick on Cindy) and delicious. Next to seeing Wicked, this was by far the best experience we had in New York this weekend. It was a mother-daughter weekend for 2 16-year olds and we all know how cynical and disengaged they can be (yes, really!!) but they actually had a great time and tried all the food especially the giant chocolate chip cookie but their favourite was the Cuban appetizer which we all agreed we could have eaten a plate or two of - skip dinner - and then head back for more cookies!! I would highly recommend this tour for those of you who have done all the touristy things in NYC, first-timers and even those of you who live in NYC. We had a girl on the tour who lived in the Village and didn't know 1/2 of what Cindy showed us. I can't say enough about Cindy and what a great tour guide she was - I will definitely book this again and bring my husband!!

The weather was horrible, rain, cold and extremely windy!! All of the elements aside, the tour was fantastic and gave us a "taste" of the villiage and ideas of what we'd like to do on our own. The restaurants selected were very courteous and offered nice portions of tastings so that you' d get enough but not too much to not be able to taste the other stops!! The tour guide was very upbeat, enjoyable and accomadating especially with the weather conditions. Thanks.

Knowledgeable guide, great food

The food tastings were fantastic and well spaced throughout the tour. The guide was knowledgeable, a little quiet at times, but very interesting and friendly. We felt like we got a good understanding of the neighborhood and would love to go back to dine at some of the restaurants we visited.

Muy daughter and I did this tour at the last minute. We are "local" to NYC , but had never really explored the area. The tour was fun, interesting and gave us great insight into the history of the area, the architecture and the FOOD ! The tastings were great, we now have a list of wonderful places to revisit. I plan on going back with my entire family.. 5 adult children 23-31.. and whoever else wants to come along. It was a wonderful day, despite the nasty, cold weather. Our guide was very informative. Have already recommended it to a number of people.. and we will be back !

Good tour!

This tour provided some nice history of the area, as well as good information on local restaurants. Since I wasn't at all familiar with Greenwich Village, and I took the tour on my first day in town, it really helped to get me oriented with my surroundings. Good food, interesting variety, excellent guide!
