| What a pleasant surprise! What a tasty tour! Our guide, Marie, was very informative and friendly! She kept us on time without rushing us through anything! The choices of businesses for the tastings was a great variety. I have recommended this tour to friends and will add another tour to my next NY visit. |

| This is a great tour, even for someone who grew up in NYC and used to work in the Village area. The variety of food options was impressive and while a lot of the eating is done standing up or "al fresco" that really is part of the fun. And it helps to have a great guide - Mike. He knows his food, he knows the neighborhood and the people there know him! |

| We were told about this tour by a co-worker of my daughter and have already e-mailed her with our thanks. We had a great time and the food was wonderful. I usually, actually never, try new things but the steamed dumplings and the rice balls were my favorites, oh yea, the chocolate chip cookie was wonderful. We learned many interesting facts we would have never had the opportunity to find out from our guide. He was very knowledgable and considerate of our safety crossing roads. This is our 8th annual trip to NY and we have taken the bus tour and walked around Greenwich by ourselves but never noticed all the restaurants and especially the farm house behind one. We will recommend this tour to anyone going to NY. Thanks for a great time. |

| this tour was a great way to quickly get a grasp of this fascinating neighborhood. I never would have known where to go, nor been able to taste such a wide variety of different foods on my own. i especially appreciated the historical and cultural insights shared by the tour guide. On future trips to New York, i am more confident to further explore this neighborhood on my own. |

| This tour was excellent! Our group leader, Ed, was friendly and knew about the area in detail. We learned a lot about the West Village and enjoyed great food as well. The food tastings were spaced so that we were full but not too full. We can't wait to go back on our own to try several of the restaurants. We also plan to take a different tasting tour in the near future. It was a highlight of our trip. |

| The walking tour was not much walking...good for my bad ankle. It centered upon the old, established food places and spoiled us...no way could we then go to the chain restaurants available in mid town. Our tour guide was enthusiastic and funny. Highly recommended. |

| My husband and I took the tour. We loved every minute. Our tour guide Kurt was so knowledgeable about the area and as we passed people that lived in the neighborhood seemed to know him. Kurt began the tour by introducing each one of us - remembering all our names and faces plus where we were from.
Oh how we wish that in our neighborhood we had stores like - the Ottomanelli's butcher shop, Murray's Cheese Shop, O&Co. Olive Oils, the Italian bakeries - to die for!! And, the next time we visit we will definitely visit this area again and take the Chinatown tour as well.
We loved the tour so much that we tried to schedule the tour of Chelsea with Kurt the next day b-4 leaving only to find that it was sold out. However, based on how pleased we were with this NYC tour we have booked a tour with Zerve in Boston on Wednesday, June 25. |

| I've been to NYC many times, but the Village neighborhoods always seemed too complicated. In addition my wife and I don't know one eatery from another. So this tour was just right for us. Barri was a great guide; the places we stopped were interesting; I'm now confident that we can just "show up" in the West Village and figure out something interesting to do. There are many places on the tour that we will revisit. |
