| We enjoyed exploring the neighborhood and learning more about the city. The food samples were tasty and we got filled up. It's best to not eat too much before you go. I enjoyed touring the old neighborhood and learning it's history. |

| My 21-year old daughter and I took the tour together. Marie, our guide, was a former Greenwich Village area resident and was a wonderful leader on this adventure. The restaurants, cafes, delis, and other stops were a perfect combination of old/traditional, new/edgy, and different aspects of the fun offerings in this area. We would definitely do this tour again next year, or a similar tour in a different area. |

| I'm not a tour person, but this was fun. The Village has a lot of history and mom-and-pop shops, a very cool place, and we learned things you can only get from a longtime local. Later that week we ate at one of the eateries on the tour, Little Havana--it looks like nothing, but what a hidden gem. Murray's cheese shop is fantastic. We plan to try out Palma's next visit to NYC, we were so impressed with the tasting. We'd definitely try other tours. |

| Only stop I would eliminate would be APHRODISIA. The woman who owned it didn't seem like she wanted us in the place and the place wasn't really necessary for a food tour. She didn't even talk about the spices and she was not friendly AT ALL. Bad choice - eliminate this next time.
Also, I don't think we hit all the stops that were on the brochure we received. I know we didn't hit CONES, or L'ARTE DEL GELATO for examples. I think we covered half of them. It's probably impossible to hit all of these so why include them?
I think there should have been more trivia and facts about the neighborhood. I have been on several of these tours across the US and besides the food it is interesting to hear other bits of info as well.
The tour guide was funny and great. |

| What an insight into places that I would never known about if I hadn't taken the tour. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable. Hightly recommend this tour and plan to do other tours when next in the City and visit some of the very interesting restaurants that we learned about. |

| We booked our tour from the UK and so were obviously a bit uneasy as we hoped when we arrived, everything would be okay! When we arrived, the tour guide Marie was expecting us, she was very friendly, easy going and fun. We were in a group of around 12. It was a hot day and Marie paid a great deal of attention to ensure we kept out of the sun as much as possible and she gave out a bottle of water to each of us at the beginning.
The tour itself was very interesting and informative. We ate at about 8 different places and the food was excellent, as was the information that went with it! At every location, the food was ready for us and there was no waiting around. The tour lasted 3 hours and although we we tired from all the walking, it's at a nice easy pace and very very worth it. |

| My friend and I love the walking tours of NYC> We live out on Long Island and use to go to the city and just walk around aimlessly. Although fun, it is sometimes nice to get an education along the way. Marie , our tour guide was entusiastic , energetic, proffesional and sweet, despite the 95 degree humid day.
I reccomend this tour to anyone who wants to learn more about the west village and likes to try out new and affordable resturaunts. The variety of food tasting was impressive. My favorite were the artichokes served in a little paper cone from Casa.
Despite the hot day, we had a great time thanks to Marie and a great bunch of very nice tourists from all over the country. |

| Our tour guide was Heather who is an aspiring actor. It was an extremely hot day and she had unlimited energy and took great pains to keep us in the shade. This was not only a food tour but a lot of additional information was included. There was time to shop ina few of the stores and a handout of where we had been so we could go back. The portions of the food was generous at all the locations and even my two college age boys enjoyed it. Next time I bring my girlfriends to New York I will take the tour again. |

| Even though it was a very warm day (95 plus) my husband and I enjoyed the tour very much and will pass your information on to family and friends. Our guide was great with knowledge of the area and could answer any question asked. The places chosen for food samples were excellant and delicious. We will be going on some of your other tours. |
