| I booked this tour for a good friend of mine and her husband who were spending their honeymoon in New York on the recommendation of a native New Yorker.
They loved this activity and said it was one of the most fun experiences they had whilst there, providing an insight into an area they might have struggled to come to grips with independantly.
They went back later in the week to eat at a couple of the places they had visited on the tour and they certainly appreciated hearing about the history of Greenwich Village as well as sampling some culinary delights!

| Todd led our group - he was informative, personable & entertaining! It was fantastic fun to wander around the area, popping in to the various restaurants & shops. Vegetarians are well catered for, which was my only concern. The tour provided a great insight into the Greenwich Village area & I would not hesitate to recommend Todd & this tour to all our friends! |

| Living on Long Island all my life, I never had ventured into Greenwich Village but was amazed at how much I was missing after my tour. Our guide was extremely knowledgable and personable, evidently a real local who was able to give us little known facts and usable advice about the village and it's shops (even down to which items on certain menus were must haves). You can't find these things in your usual guidebooks. The village is very different from the rest of Manhattan and planning to take the tour as part of an extended vacation or even for just a day trip is worth the three hours of touring time. Because of the tour, I will be back to visit the village on my own. |

| You were recommended by my daughter and we were certainly not disappointed. In fact, we've already recommended the tour to 3 other couples. We intend to return and tour "The Village" ourselves , lunching and dining at the places you recommended using your tour map as our guide. Thanks for a wonderful time. Our guide, Todd, was very personable and knowledgeable about the history of the area.
I think we'll try the Meat Packing District tour nex time. |

| Had hoped it to be more food tasting. It was a very interesting info about the village, but more cultural info than food info. |

| My Mom and a I enjoyed the tour very much. The guide Cindy said she hoped it would be the highlight of our trip to New York and it was. The food stops were varied and tasty. The shop owners were very friendly.
My Mom who is 80 handled the walking and Cindy was very helpful by giving her several opportunities to sit down.
Thank You! |

| the food was wonderful, and i enjoyed getting a local's perspective of her own neighborhood. our tour lasted 3hr 15 minutes, and i think it could be condensed a little bit. but, for the most part, good pacing between tastings. oh, and very generous tastings! you defintately won't need lunch afterwords. my only complaint is i won't be able to get this kind of fabulous food in arizona! i frequent manahattan often, and will be signing up for the chelsea tour as well. its a delightful way to spend an afternoon! |
