Our tour guide was Bert, and he was so much fun. I appreciated his sincere love of food and descriptions at each food stop because they were detailed without being snooty. He REALLY likes his job and is very good at it!
The food provided was high quality and way more food than I would ever eat for lunch. I wish I had not eaten breakfast!
Excellent value for $50.
Would definitely do this again and recommend to family visiting from out of town and to locals as well! |

This wasn't just a food tour, but a history tour too! Our guide, Bert, was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic - he did a great job. I loved this tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting NYC. |

I bought the tickets for my friend and I to do something fun for her birthday. We are foodies and love new places and fun facts. This tour was amazing...delicious food and very filling. Our guide was BERT! He was the best. Funny and knew all the hot spots in the city. We told him he should have his own show on Food Network. He really was great. I would recommend this tour to anyone who lives nearby or even traveling to NYC for a couple days. The 3 hour tour around Greenwich Village was worth the money and we had a blast. Thanks Bert! |

It was our first time at Greenwich Village and I thought the town was great. It has so many great places to eat and Marie did a great job explaining the culture and the description of the food. Though I was " lactose" and felt that I was able to eat "some" food I felt that a lot of the food choices had cheese ( cheese slices, cheesecake, riceball ( with lots of ricatto). My husband did eat my portion and enjoyed it very much. I thought it was nice to accomodate people that are vegetarians but it would've been nice if we would been able to pick our ' choices" ahead of time. Also, I liked that Marie took to us to many locations that were shaded ( it was in the 90's). The places that Marie recommended I went the next day and enjoyed the food very much!! I went back to Pizza Roma ( pizza with no cheese) and I got olive oil from Olive and Co. If I were to go back to New York I would stay in Greenwich village and felt it was the town I would enjoy the most. I would recommend the food and culture tour in Greenwich Village. Thank you! |

Me, my husband and my 14 year old niece took the Greenwich Village tour. Our tour guide was excellent and extremely knowledgeable and the food was delicious! I would recommend this tour for adults and not kids as my niece was a little bored. It is a great way to get acquainted with a neighborhood! |

I always take a food tour whenever I visit a new city and this was the best so far. The food was delicious and authentic and plentiful. The tour guide was enthusiastic and informative. I loved that we also got a history lesson. This tour made me want to go back and explore the neighborhood on my own. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone and everyone! |

Wonder overview tour of Greenwich Village. Food is sufficient to serve as a meal. We have done this tour multiple times with different friends and always choose the 11:00 tour and let it be lunch. |

Our group really all the restaurants and stores we visited. Coming from out of town, it is difficult to make a desicion about where to eat but now I have several smaller, unique and delicious choices for my next trip in. |

In NY for a few days and decided to do this tour. Our guide Cindy was great - funny, informative, a bundle of energy (not so much us, it was a hot day!) and obviously knew the neighborhood and its residents very well.. It was a nice surprise to learn about the history of the area as well as facts about the restaurants and food stores we visited. Some of the tastings we enjoyed more than others - Vinoteca tasting sampler, Faicco's rice ball and Scali Caffe's delicious cheesecake stood out, but we were a little disappointed with the pizza at Joe's - had better - and the cheeses at Murray's Cheese Shop which we found to be dry and also they weren't labelled so we didn't know what we were tasting.. But these are pretty minor criticisms, overall a great tour and a fun afternoon! We look forward to trying another tour next time we're in NY. |

This was a fun excursion with a friend visiting from the Washington, DC area. I'm still new to Long Island and needed a good idea for an afternoon in NYC. Our tour guide, Cindy, was very good-natured, very knowledgeable and obviously knew the neighborhood well. She got hellos and hugs from some of the local folks as we made our way on the tour. The food (pizza, cheeses, desserts, scrumptious appetizers, etc.) was yummy and was plenty to eat. We enjoyed getting the scoop on the local places. The tour took us to seven different places but also we also explored the quieter, historic streets and learned all kinds of fun trivia. An added bonus: you get a booklet listing the places you visited and more, why they are special and coupons. It's a nicely-done tour and worth the money. I will try their other tours. Wear comfy shoes and be mindful that it is a lot of walking and standing on your feet for periods of time. |
