My wife and I enjoyed the tour very much. We have visited NYC a few times before, but never got to see Greenwich Village. The tour was very interesting and informative. The tour guide was great. The food was great.

Don't set your expectations too high

Tour guide was excellent, although a bit over enthusiastic. His knowledge of the area, humor and continuous gossip made the tour "fun". The descriptions of the locations, shops, restaurants, etc were described as "the best in NYC" or "No. 1". As a person born in Brooklyn and a resident of this area for many years I accepted these claims with a large grain of salt. However, visitors to NYC for the first time as many in our group were are mislead. The tastings were for the most part, much too small to really be a true "tasting" and certainly don't represent the best in NYC I don't think that this tour really showed the great variety of good food available in this part of the city.

It was a very good tour and I would recommend it to everyone over 18. May not be interesting for teens.

We took this tour in the middle of our trip, but we should have done it the first day! We had a great time and finished the tour with a list of places we wished we had time to go back to.

What a great way to tour the Village! We sampled delicious food from seven restaurants and shops, and had a beautiful walk through the neighborhood with great stories and information about the buildings and their history from our tour guide, Barrie. Would highly recommend.

This tour was a nice intro to Greenwich Village, a gem neighborhood of NYC that's full of quaint and delicious restaurants, specialty shops, theaters and cool places to live. Our guide was friendly and informed, dropping in enough history and current culture to make the midday trek through the Village continually interesting. Plus, the " food tastings" were great!
