| We really enjoyed the tour. This is a great way to see up close areas that we would normally pass by as a part of a bus tour. We actually came back for Dinner at one of the restaurants and had a wonderful time. We are planning to come back next year and do the Meat Packing Tour. My only recommendation would be to expand to more areas of town. |

| My husband and I really enjoyed the Greenwich Village tour. Our guide, Rebecca, shared a lot of interesting facts with us on the area and we really learned a lot and had a lot of fun. The tastings were very good and we really enjoyed all the stops. I would highly recommend the tour for anyone, regardless of age, etc. The restaurant recommendations were wonderful - we went back later that night for dinner at Palma's and it was excellent. |

| I'd start the tour a little later if pizza is the first stop. At ten thirty in the AM perhaps coffee and pastry and a tour before getting into the heavy food. But very interesting tour. Enjoyed the history and the small tours. Guide was very knowledgeable and personable. |

| My friends and I took this tour on 6-17-05 and had a wonderful time. The walk was a pleasant one at a pleasant pace with many stops and stories along the way. I learned so much and had fun doing so. At the particular spots where we tasted foods, the hosts were generous and hospitable. The foods were great and it gave us a chance to find places where we would like to sit down for a full meal during our stay in NY. At the end of the tour, we took advantage of the wine tasting where we sampled 5 different wines of our choice from a dashing young bartender at the wine bar. He was well versed in NY wines and we all purchased some to bring back to our hotel to drink during our stay. I cannot stress enough how much I recommend this tour to young - middle aged curious adults with a quest for knowledge, new foods and wine. I only wish we had booked the other tour as well.

| Exciting tastings from excellent food shops and restaurants we never would have found without this tour. Very proffessional guide who learned us so much more than just about the food. A really nice walk through a pleasant area where we the following days (and nights) experienced both tasty food and valuable shopping as well as a couple of nice beers and some good jazz. |

| This was a wonderful experience! Living in Brooklyn, New York it was great to see first hand the history of Manhattan and The Village. The food was excellent and I feel more equipped to come back to this neighborhood to shop and eat. |

| My small group of friends really enjoyed this tour. All the food that we tasted was terrific. The historical information provided about the area was very interesting. All of us would recommend the tour. We were all discussing it with other friends after our trip and we thanked the individual who recommended it to us. It was one of the best times we had on our visit to New York. |

| Tour guide was informative and engaging; we especially liked the historical/architectural highlights of the walk. If you're a selective eater, some of the food that's offered on the tour may not be appealing, but overall, it was evident that a lot of thought was put into the process. |
