| I had visited NYC several times and had always wanted to try this tour. Last trip was in Jan. so didn't buy tickets in advance due to the cold/rainy/snowy weather. But purchased tickets online in advance this time, since many of the dates/times were sold out already. Very excellent tour. Not only was the food tasting great, but also the history of Greenwich Village. Andre was very knowledgable and an excellent guide. Only suggestion would be to have a "sit down" break halfway. Three hours is a long time of standing and walking. |

| The food was superb! We will enjoy going back to try some of the restuarants and might actually stay there the next time we come to New York! |

| Suzanne was our tour leader and she was fun and informative.
We thoroughly enjoyed the tour, it was an easy walk and there was more food than you could eat. Each place we stopped was very unique and the tasting samples were very generous and delicious.
The history of the Greenwich Village area is so interesting and the buildings are beautiful. What a vibrant community!!
I am recommending this tour to everyone and I would go again. Karen D. Buffalo, NY |

| I took this tour in the middle of a blizzard and the guide was very helpful in finding us a warm refuge. She then picked up the food, gave us kits of history and notes of interest about the area and accomodated our needs (warmth).
I decided to retake the tour because I was so impressed with our guide and wanted to show my friend and see all that the guide had talked about. It was a hot day, and our new guide spent to much time telling us about the price of food specials at the resturants . We were hot and there are few places to sit down, so we abandoned the tour after 1 1/2 hours, quite disappointed. The tour can be most interesting and wonderful with the right guide |

| I've already recommended this tour to other people here in Wyckoff, NJ. I think many of us don't know the Village and it was great to learn the history and foods of this area. I'm looking forward to trying the other tour this summer. Cindy was great fun and an excellent tour guide. |

| I enjoyed the tour and the food. The guide was informative and enthusiastic. It gave me just enough information so that someday I will feel comfortable exploring this part of NYC again on my own. The cost was reasonable and I look forward to taking other tours with this company in the future. |

| I live in this city and I found the tour to be extremely interesting and valuable. I leaned great insider tips about restaurants to try. It's great because you see a side of the village that normally you wouldn't explore. Andre our tour guide was great and my favorite stop on the tour was Chumley's, the old speakeasy. It just shows the amazing history this city has to offer! |

| We all really enjoyed the food tour and our guide Andreas was very pleasant and informative. Was perhaps a bit long and maybe better condensed into 2 hours but otherwise wwll worth it. |

| The presenter provided interesting information and moved the group from site to site well. This introduction to the Village and the food sampling provided a delightful experience and a great 3 hours of walking and tasting on a beautiful day in Greenwich Village. Later the same day we returned to the area to dine at the Cuban Restaurant operated by "mama" which had been pointed out during the tour. The food and service were exceptionally good and confirmed the "value added" by the earlier tour. |

| Food samples were very good - cheese and olives, bread, chocolates, pizza, dessert, and gyro and falafel - though a bit heavy towards the end. A coffee or tea stop would have been a nice break. All the history and all the food stops involved standing and eating standing up - taking a break to sit for 15 minutes to have a coffee break in the middle of the tour would have been nice (it was a little hot and muggy that day). The guide was knowledgable and thoughtful and the selection of the shops and eateries was good. Thanks! |
