| The tour of Greenwich Village was great. Not only was the food great, but the tour guide was also a real treat. His name was Michael and his knowledge about everything in NYC was unbelievable. He was wonderful! It was well worth the money, and really gave me an idea about what community and history of NYC is all about. I would definitely take this tour and would request to be on a tour where Michael was the tour guide. Great tour! |

| Our tour guide Mike was very knowledgable and a great tour guide. We did not know what to expect, but were delightfully suprised at how much we got out of the tour, being locals. Please check this tour out, a great activity for visiting family/friends. |

| This was a great way to spend a few hours of our weekend and worth every penny! Not only was the food tasting exceptional, the guide (Michael) was fantastic. We will definately go back to try some of the places on a full scale and to try other places at which we did not stop (but were told about by Michael).
We would recommend this tour to everyone! |

| My friend and I spend 3 days each summer in New York City, but we had never been to Grennwich Village until this year. The tour was well worth the time and money. The food was fabulous and the information intriguing. We had an excellent tour guide who was not only informative but fun. We plan to return to Greenwich Village every year now that we know the lay of the land. |

| My husband and I did this tour last summer and we thought our kids (19, 17, 15 and 7) would enjoy it, too. Thankfully, they did- two said it was their favorite thing we did over the weekend and all agreed it was fun. There is a lot of walking but it is at a leisurely pace, stopping for delicious bites and bits of history of Greenwich Village. The tour guide (Curt) was very personable and even though my husband and I had taken the tour last summer, Curt's tour was quite different. These are not cookie-cutter tours, and they're not advertisements for the businesses we visited. The guides know the people in the neighorhood and you really get a feeling for what it's like to live there. I feel it is absolutely worth the money to have a personalized tour so you know what you're looking at.
Curt was most accommodating to all the people on the tour, and was very sweet to my little girl- speaking to her by name and complimenting her for trying all the foods.
After the tour and before we left New York Sunday night for home, we went back to Bruno's twice for dessert, Aphrodisia twice for gift purchases, ate dinner at Trattoria Pesce Pasta and had a drink at Chumley's.
My main advice for anyone going on the tour is COME HUNGRY because you will have a lot of food on the tour. We had pizza; cannolis; rice balls; cheese and olives; chocolate chip cookies; apricot pastries; Turkish sandwiches and more.

| My mom and i had a blast! Very good food, lots of tips and info about where to go and what to do. The best part though was our guide Kurt- he was wonderful. So knowledgeable, but also very aware of each individual participant. He made sure everyone felt included and taken care of. We're going to try the Meatpacking one next! |

| My wife, daughter and myself had our heart set on going to New York and going to see "The Lion King". We did that....and it was great....but the "Greenwich Village Food Tasting and Cultural Tour" was the highlight of our weekend....by far! We would recommend it highly to anyone who has an interest in people, history and great food. We experienced a perfect mix of all three! |

| Extraordinary info, food and TOUR GUIDE!! Will recommend as a must do event when in NYC. Even the 2 teenagers in our group raved about it. Loads of interesting information and history. Will use the information learned on future visits. Mike C. was Mr. Eloquent. Even if he has said those words a million times, he presented the information to us as if we were the only ones to receive the tour. He is a gem and made the tour priceless!! Loved his interaction with the other Villagers. A lifetime memory! |

| This tour stands out as one of our best memories of NYC. Our guide was knowledgeable on all aspects of Greenwich Village and provided us with so many "insider tips" and trivia. The food was delicious and the tastings more than adequate to fill us up! Thank you for such a great experience - I am already recommending this tour to my friends! |
