| Our guide, Barri, was well versed on foods and restaurants; she also shared stories about the Greenwich community and local architecture. I really enjoyed it and felt the food samples were adequate and nicely chosen to highlight a variety of restaurants/bakeries in the area. I certainly now know where to eat! |

| My mother was visiting from Minnesota and wanted a unique NYC experience. She absolutely loved the food tour. By the end of it, she had a list of restaurants she wants to try on her next trip. Our tour guide was knowledgeable; we appreciated the fact that he had lived in the neighborhood for years and knew not only the textbook history but the living history of the area. I live in Brooklyn and hang out in the Village and was amazed at all the things I did not know. I've already recommended the tour to friends and co-workers! By the way, I had some skeptism that I wouldn't need lunch after the tour, but I was delightfully surprised at the quality and quantity of the food samples. Thanks for a great tour. |

| We really enjoyed the combination of great food indicative of greenwich Village, loved the atmosphere, and enjoyed the local color provided by a very knowledgeable guide. We loved being able to go into restaurants even though we weren't eating there to sample the ambience and loved discovering little courtyards you wouldn't even know existed! The group size was just right. We were blessed with great weather (actually it was a bit too hot) and we loved visiting the neighborhoods of the vilage (no visit to the East Village though. We would have like to get a glimpse of Washington Park & NYU as they are so much a part of the village too - is there no good eatery round there as an axcuse - we have three hours so more walking wouldn't really be a problem. |

| Thoroughly enjoyed the tour! Our tour guide, Eric, was very enthusiastic and informative! The food samples were great. I would recommend to anyone considering taking this tour, to take the tour in the early part of your vacation. Reason being, so you may return to enjoy some fabulous food and drinks at the many restaurants introduced on your tour. |

| We really enjoyed the tour, Eric was great, too bad he was only there for the daytime. We did go back that night and we ate at some of the places again. It was nice to have someone to tell you about the area instead of just wondering around not knowing where you are and what is good. I have told my friends who are visting New Yourk soon to be sure and sign up for the tour.

| This was one of the highlights of our trip. Our guide was informative and funny and showed us all around with enthusiasm. The best part is that we could pick out some of the restaurants we wanted to visit later based on locals' favorites. The food was fantastic, too. |

| Over the past two years I have been a frequent visitor to NYC because my daughter makes her home there. When I visit (about 1ce a month) we love to do sightseeing and cultural things because we are sociological/history buffs. This trip was the most enlightening and enjoyable. Great food, great stores. I can't wait to get back to get some baked goods. We love the village and plan on visiting there real soon for dinner, theater and shopping. |

| This was an awesome tour - it really gives you a great "flavor" of the village. It is a lot of walking but in my opinion it is well worth it. I went with a friend of mine who is living in the Village and even she learned some things she didn't know before. |

| This tour far exceeded my expectations. The guide took us through Greenwich Village and talked about food, history, the people, and the buildings. His stories gave you a real picture of life in the village from the early 1900s till present time. I will recommend it to all my friends visiting NYC. |
