| Our tour guide, Kurt was fantastic! The combination of him, the food, and the location made this an unbeatable value. we both agreed it was the highlight of our trip. We were fortunate with good weather too. all of the food tastings were very good - especially the rice balls, pizza, gelato and cannoli. have already recommended this tour to friends. |

| What a wonderful way to spend 3 hours wandering around the Village. We didn't know a lot about this area but will certainly return with all the knowledge we attained on the tour. Kurt, our tour guide was full of good information and lots of tidbits that only an insider would know. He shared it all with us. The food samples were delicious and generous. We were full upon the end of our journey. I can't wait til we return to New York so we can venture on one of the other tastings. |

| We had a great time touring Greenwich. The food was great and varied. I toured with my mom while on vacation in NYC. We thought it was a fun way to see a neat part of the city. |

| Great introduction to the West Village neighborhood. Food tastings and local history as told by our guide, Heather, were excellent. The "tastings" were more than enuogh for lunch. Also enjoyed the "sit down" tasting as it was nice to get off of our feet for 20 minutes in the middle of the 3 hour tour. We walked to and from our hotel in Times Square to the tour...about 2.4 miles each way...and glad for it as we felt the excercise helped work of some of the calories! We left the city this morning to return to Boston but before leaving we drove back to the village...to buy some cookies and cookie mix from Milk and Cookies Bakery, some freshly made Rice Balls from Faicco's (the Pork store) and a whole pizza pie from Joe's. Needless to say, we had some of each during our 4 hour ride home. We will be back in NYC next summer and will definitely do another food tour! |

| This is, without a doubt, one of the best & most unique ways to see a New York neigbourhood, espcially Greenwich Village. Our guide, Zefra, was both knowledgable & wry in her observations & comments. That she lives in the Village was an added bonus. Having a guide that can address shopkeepers & passersby by name gave our tour an intimacy that would have been lacking otherwise. Plus, Zefra was just a hoot to be around. We can't say enough about how great she was. As for the tour stops & food tastings, they really provided us with a sample of the some of the great eateries, restuarants & food stores in the Village. The only downside to this tour is that you come away disappointed that you don't live in the Village & have access to all of these places on a regular basis. We'd do this tour again in a heartbeat!. |

| I enjoyed most everything about the tour including the tour guide. I enjoyed the historical and cultural aspects of the tour. I am new to the area so I wanted to explore some of New York's City's finest. The only part of the tour I didn't enjoy was the vegetarian restaurant. I felt it was more a modern part of the city and wasn't very historical. I am not a vegetarian person and the food was actually decent but I didn't feel it was a necessary stop on the trip. The other part of the trip definitely satisfied most vegetarians needs so I felt that should be left out. Otherwise I recommend the trip highly! |

| I thought this was a great tour. There are so many restaurants in any given neighborhood and it is nice to get the inside scoop on where to go. I was pleasantly surprised at how much food we ate. I was stuffed half way through. I didn't turn anything down though! It is also a fantastic opportunity to get to know a neighborhood and it's history from someone who knows it so well. |
