| We had a fantastic time on this tour, with some amazing food and great commentary on the Greenwich area. Would definitely try some of the other food tours when we go back to NYC - loved seeing the real side of New York, and meeting a few foodie characters along the way! |

| Despite the horrible weather, the tour went ahead, and Heather our guide was enthusiastic, friendly and very knowledgeable.
Their were 8 food tastings hich included cheese, pizza and cookies, but also some more specialist delicacies.
The recommendations were also excellent and we returned to 2 of the restaurants on the tour at later dtes on our stay, and they were amazing evenings.
I would personally recommend you take the tour at the beginning of your trip just in case you want to see more than a fleeting visit of one of the excellent stops on the tour.
Many thanks! |

| We had a ball and thoroughly enjoyed the tour - hit all the hot spots - great tips and insight into the history of the Village - I would have loved to have booked Chelsea too.
It was nice meeting other people on the tour and getting recommendations for dinner bookings..
Loved it and we are both big foodies!! |

| It was a great way to learn about a part of NYC. The brief history and the food tasting was the right combination.
One suggestion: for rainy days the tour guide should offer plastic ponchos for sale. It would be another way of making money and getting people to be more comfortable. |

| I have been to NYC many times on day trips (I'm from Pennsylvania) - and this was one of the best activities I have ever done! The food was outstanding, the recommendations for additional resteraunts and food was enlightening, and the history of the neighborhood was fun to learn. |

| This tour was ok, but for sure not more. The locations visited, the tastings and the background information given about the district were nothing exeptionell.
This impression was maybe enforced by the tour guide, she was rather stiff and it was definitlely by far not as funny as other tours I have done in NY.
The food tasting were by far nothing extraordinary, but this is a matter of taste and experiences one had before. |

| This was by far the highlight of our second trip to NYC. Our tour guide, Kurt, was not only hilarious, but also so personable and friendly that we felt as though we were walking around the streets of the West Village with a group of old friends rather than 15 strangers we had just met.
Thanks to the delicious foods we tried and the rich history of the neighborhood Kurt shared with us, we ended up spending another afternoon and two evenings in the Village feeling more like locals than tourists. On the last day of our trip, we even trecked back in the rain to pick up cookies from the Milk & Cookies Bakery to take back home with us. Thanks to you and Kurt for a wonderful time.
For anyone who enjoys good food and lots of laughs, this tour is for you! |
