Original Greenwich Village Food and Culture Tour

I thought the tour and the guide were fantastic. A lot of fun. Casual, friendly, and the food was terrific. We leanred a lot about the area and really got a better feel for that part of New York plus a lot of information on great places to eat. Would defintely recommend to others.

Vivacious hostess whose residence in the area and love for it enhanced her presentation. Food offerings were good but personally I'd like more things with meat or protein in them. I did learn that a "leisurely pace" for a New Yorker is not a leisurely pace to those from elsewhere--my friend and I had to run to keep up, and we were unused to walking in slush and snow which were plentiful the day of our tour. The timing with a "sit down" place half-way through was good.

This is our seconds food tour we have been on. The first was in Chicago and we had so much fun and learned so much about the city, we had to do it again! And this time it was even better! The organization was great, the information great and the food Fantastic! Its really a great way to learn about a city and many of the restaraunts we learned about we went back to and had the BEST meals we had in New York City. I would recommend it for everyone.

My children, ages 14-28, and I took the West Greenwich tour on New Years' Eve day and had so much fun! The selection of eateries was perfect and the culture and information segment of the tour made us want to come back for more. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, answering all of our questions and peaking our interest to want to know more about the city. It was a nice change to spend a day out of midtown. We will definitely schedule ourselves for another tour of a different area on our next visit. Thank you so muich for a great day at a very reasonable price!

Saphrina our guide was fantastic! That girl has a million jokes and really knew the area being an indigenous (sic?) New Yorker. Can't wait to take another tour!

A wonderful 3 hour introduction to the history and cuisine of Greenwich Village. I only wish we lived close enough to go back and follow-up on the many excellent recommendations that came out of the exploration of the restaurants and family-owned shops that fill the area. Our tour guide (Heather) was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic.

We had an excellent tour guide. Her name was Berri. I have been to NYC many times and I would have to say that this was once of the neatest tours I've had in the city. I would highly recommend this to others.

I really enjoyed the entire tour and would recommend for anyone. There was really enough to eat, with a great variety of food. It was very interesting to hear details about many local resturants and surprising (but no less interesting) that there was a large chunk of time simply touring back streets to learn of architecture and history. This part of tour was well-timed because after eating the huge choc chip cookie at "Milk & Cookies" I needed a walk before tasting some more. Two not-so-great things (information only, do not let this stop you from taking the tour)...1) the coupons in the flyer are nothing to get excited about, and 2) the greatest disappointment was "Aphrodisia", the spice shop. The tasting there was really awesome, but, I was really looking forward to getting some spices. Five of the 7 I picked and wanted were empty bins, and the owner couldn't seem to care less. Also, I thought is was a little creepy that a cat was walking around the shop.

My best girlfriend turned 50 and wanted to celebrate in NYC. Our favorite thing to do on our NYC trip was the food tour. We had a great guide, excellent food and info, and we ended up going back the next day for more pizza, cheesecake and shopping. We would both highly recommend the tour.

I am a Long Islander, 28 miles from NYC. I have been to Greenwich Village many times but never knew how much I didn't know. This intimate tour of Greenwich Village was so enjoyable for me and my guest from the UK. The foods we tasted were excellant. I will frequent the shops and I now know some excellant restaurants to dine in that I hadn't known before. Thanks for a wonderful day! Joan from Long Island.
