| I have been to the Meatpacking District tour before and it was such a great experience that I decided to try another one. Cindy, our guide was fantastic! It was great to hear stories and hang out with a "trully" New Yorker for a while. Got good food and great reccomendations for later on... The dinamic of the tour is great because you hop in, get a bite, hop off! The restaurant I liked the least was the one in which we sat down to eat... It breaks the rithym of the tour.
Worth every penny! |

| We did the Greenwich Village tour and loved it!! It was the best thing we did in New York! Our guide, Cindy, was hilarious and so knowlegable about the area!! She told us about all the old buildings, history, and even some movie locations. The food!!!!! It was sooooooo good that we went back to the village 6 more times to eat at the various restaurants she recommended! You don't get to taste from every place in the village ( that would take months ) but they give you a list of the great places in the area. GO and explore the village and take the tour!!!! We plan to come back to NYC just to do the other Food Tours!! |

| The tour provided information about the local restaurants, food establishments and some historical information about West Greenwich Village. Cindy, our tour guide, was informative and engaging. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone who loves food or is just interested in learning more about the history of New York City. |

| It was good to try out these places for so you know where to go later in your trip. I would recommend going at the beginning of your trip so you have time to make reservations and have a nice sit down dinner. |

| Fabulous introduction to the food and history of Greenwich Village and New York in general. Our guide was enthusiastic, fun and saw to it that we all had very full bellies by the end of the tour! |

| The Greenwich Village tour was a highlight of our stay in New York. Our tour guide, Sephra, was fantastic. The tastings were delicious and definately filling - no lunch needed afterwards. In fact, we enjoyed the tour so much that my husband and I cannot wait to go back for a long weekend. We plan on staying solely in the Greenwich Village area. Again,the tour was fantastic, fun, educational, and, of course, delicious! We definately would highly recommend the tour! The only mistake we made was going on the tour the last day of our vacation. If we had to do it all over, we would make the tour one of our first attractions to visit. There were so many places we wanted to go back to visit but we had to catch a plane. |

| My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. The guide was very friendly and knowledgable about the village and the food places we visited. The three hours passed quickly and we were treated to some very tasty treats. This tour was a great way to see the village and learn more about it! |

| This is the second activity I've booked with FoodTours (the first one was the Soho/Central Village tour this past October), and once again, I was extremely pleased with my tour. Our guide Marie was fantastic and made sure that everyone had a wonderful time. Being a local NYC resident, I was pleased to hear that my sister, who was visiting from Oklahoma, really enjoyed the tour as well, both the food tastings and history.
I highly recommend either the Greenwich Village or Soho/Central Village tours for anyone looking to spend a fun afternoon in NYC. |

| Our tour guide was Marie. We found her to be informative and knowledgable of the Greenwich Village area. She had a wealth of facts and dates. What was missing was the lack of information of the 60's era which we would have found more interesting. The food itself was quite good except for pizza at Bleeker Street Pizza which was greasy and tasteless. All the other food stops were interesting and good. Recognized many sites from movies and shows. Overall, the tour and guide were exceptional. |

| The combination of restaurant visitations and insight into the history and development of the Greenwich Village area was outstanding. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and experienced with the tour. Despite the very hot and humid day, we were all very pleased with our experience and are looking forward to visiting some of the restaurants that we "tasted" in the near future. We will be sure to take some of the other food tours in future years. |
