| We took this tour about 5 years ago. The tour is about the same with new food tastings. This is a unique tour because it combines food and historical information very nicely. My only sort of negative comment is that I felt the original tour gave more historical information about Greenwich village and it covered both the west and central village areas a bit more. On the other hand, this tour gave us more diversity in food tastings. |

| Lots of food and more historical information than I expected. It was well thought out, thorough, and a great introduction to the neighborhood. |

| If you want to have an insider's feel for Greenwich Village then take the 3 hour walking and eating tour. We went to parts of the Village we would have completely missed had we walked on our own. The tastings were lovely rewards interspersed along the way at the most interesting of spots and our guide was an instant hit - charming, engaged and an obvious fan of the Village. We left the tour with a list of all the fantastic restaurants in the area and we went back 2 nights later to pig-out on the best brick-oven pizza. |

| We have been to NYC several times and never experienced Greenwich Village like this. We had a great time. Cindy was funny, thoughtful, energetic and full of information. I was impressed with how accomodating she was with one couple who had a baby. She made sure they always had somewhere to put the stroller and never acted put out. I loved that we got to experience the feel of the neighborhood, because Cindy is a local and she knows "everyone". My husband especially liked the history lesson. The food is great and well thought out. You get to taste some things you may have never tried before, but will want to try again. We were so impressed with one restaurant, we had dinner there that night! We like the best of the best and in our opinion this is the best of it's kind. Can't wait to try a different tour on our next visit!! |

| Wow! A friend and I came upon this tour while investigating something different to do on a NYC day trip. It was a delightful day with an exceptionally informed and descriptive tour guide named Curt. He was outrageous in his fun and entertaining descriptions of food and facts. The food was delicious and we were FULL by the time the tour was over! If you are debating whether on not to do this tour...don't debate another minute...BOOK IT! |

| I would definitely recommend a food tour to anyone visiting New York. The time flies by but you have so much fun. Great food, good commentaries and a chance to get to know an area (Greenwich Village). Barri was an excellent tour guide and I will go on another food tour when I visit New York again.
We enjoyed Greenwich so much we went back there for dinner on our last night. Definitely, one of the highlights to visiting New York. |

| I was pleasantly surprised by this tour. Along with interesting and wonderful tastings our guide Barry told us about the history and architecture of the neighborhood. I didn't think to bring my camera to a food tour, so I had to resort to using my phone camera until the battery died.
We had a complete meal, in stages, with two wonderful desserts. We visited not only restaurants, but a spice store, cheese shop, meat market and pastry shop. Although we didn't taste anything at Cornelia's, it was nice to visit the stage room downstairs. Quite a bit of history.
I highly recommend the tour as a great way to get to know Greenwhich Village and the restaurants around Bleeker Street. I will be back with family and a camera next time. |

| Loved the tour. Our guide leader -- Barrie was terrific and very knowledgeable about the Greenwich Villiage area. Loved the personal stories and suggestions for further exploration of the area. We decided to return to the area later on in the week and go to one of the recommended restaurants -- absolutely fabulous and reasonable. I would highly recommend this to my colleagues and friends. |
