| This was the second time I went on the tour of Greenwich Village. The first time was with 4 Adult woman with their 4 college-aged daughters; the second was with my husband and another couple. Both times were just great. Tour guides were extremely knowledgeable about the food, area and local history and added their personal experiences to the tour. The restaurants differed little from the first time, but the experience felt new. The food was great. The owners of the restaurants we visited made you feel like they were happy to see you and feed you!
I have been on the SoHo tour as well and although the food was very different, the history and experience were just as good.
Heather was our tour guide and she seemed genuinely happy to be entertaining you!
I would highly recommend this tour at any age. If you are not from New York City, you really get a feel for how it is to live there..
Just a genuinely fun day.... |

| Maria was very knowledgable and besides eating great food, I learned a lot about the west village that i hadn't known before. I'm a New Yorker and I'd definitely recommend it to my friends (I already have)! |

| This was the first thing I did on arriving in New York for the first time and what an introduction to the city. The tour was very relaxed and we were blessed with some lovely weather too.
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and funny - occasionally including locals and passers by in her banter. Lots of history and tall tales of the area were inlcuded.
The highlight of the tour has got to be the food. We started with the best pizza ever and ended with cookies and a cheese class. In between there was some very special food with the occasional glimpse into secluded gardens and gourmet kitchens.
I chose this tour on a whim - it seemed a good antidote to travelling and jet lag and I was realy impressed. I should also add that the "samples" of food meant that I had to skip dinner that evening!
If anyone is thinking of this, just do it! It's real value for money and was one of the true highlights of my trip to New York. |

| Can't wait to go back and do another tour. Not only do you get to sample delicious food, but you get some history and architecture lessons of the area.
Our guide was the best. Droll, bright and very in tune with all of our needs. Sephra.
Thank you. |

| Totally surpassed our expectations! Our tour guide was extremely friendly and very knowledgeable about the neighborhood and about all of the amazing food we got to sample. I have been recommending it to everyone I know and my husband and I can't wait to go back and try another tour! Totally worth the $, actually seemed like a bargain. |

| Showed me a part of New York I'd never seen or experienced. Restaurants were exceptional, many quite reasonably priced, and food specialty stores were authentic and filled with so much good food, it was hard to know where to start! Tour guide was friendly and personable, and seemed to vicariously enjoy our tastings as much as we did! Can't wait to head back down to the area to try out some more of her recommendations! |

| We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. The three hours flew by. We were impressed with the relationship that obviously existed between the tour company and the shop owners. We learned so much about the neighborhood. Lots of wonderful food. |
