| We thought that this would be a great way to discover a new area and get away from the tourist eateries around the Time Square area that we spent the majority of our last visit at.
This tour gave us some great food suggestions to return to during our extended stay in NYC. I highly recommend doing the tour at the start of your trip if at all possible, so you have plenty of time to return to the numerous places recommended by the tour. Our guide had a wonderful knowledge of the area giving us a good mix of food tastings and history
We tried a number of the different places after the tour all with equally satisfying results. A wonderful day out. Not even the rain could ruin the day. Plenty of tastings on the tour to even satisfy the fussy eater. |

| Our group consisted of myself & my 3 adult daughters visiting NYC from 4 different states. This tour was recommended to me and one of my daughters. We all loved it even though it was raining. Our guide, Marie, was very knowledgeable, personable, and helpful. We especially liked " Joes's Pizza" and "Home". |

| The tour concept itself is great but our tour was hilarious and always enjoyable because our tour leader was so knowledgeable and excited to make it "historically hysterical" for everyone. The food places were amazing to taste and truly makes you want to go back and eat everything all over again. |

So much more than a food tour...

| This was so much more than a food tour! For me it was one of the highlights of our trip. We finished up with not only a lot of history of this interesting neighborhood, some great photos of buildings used in movies and TV shows, full bellies after some outrageously delicious food but also some great ideas of where to eat for future trips to NYC. |

| Food was very good and the tour provided some history as well. Barry, I believe was our guide's name, was very lively and a great guide. Maybe one more place to stop & sit and use facilities for a few minutes would be a good thing. Had only one stop like that during the three hour tour. |

| We would definitely recommend the food tour. But, do not eat before you go. We got 9 samples including, pizza, cheese, rice balls, cookies, cannoli, etc. Our tour guide, Heather, was great and was very knowledgable about the Greenwich area. We will go back to Greenwich to support the local restaurants and businesses. It was a lovely area. |

| Our tour was AMAZING!!!! My husband and 11 year old daughter gave me this tour for my birthday and it may have been the best gift ever! All three of us loved the food and Heather, our guide, was wonderful. She provided so much great information about the food, history of the restaurants/food stores, history of the Village, realistic insight to living in NYC and more! Can't wait to go back to the places on the tour to buy more of the great food and we are going to book another Foods of NY tour within the month! Don't miss out on this great experience. |

| My husband, children and myself loved the Greenwich Village tour. Heather our tour guide was very friendly. She took the time to get to know everyone in our tour group. She was very knowledgeable about the food, restaurants, and history of the area. The food was delicious and on our next trip to NYC, we are definitely going to try the restaurants that were on the tour. I was also very impressed that when I booked the tour I stated that my daughter is a vegetarian and does not eat meat or fish, and while the group was tasting a meat dish in a cuban restaurant, Heather came over to my daughter with a vegetarian sample which she loved! We had a great time and will definitely book another tour. |

| We enjoyed the tour of Greenwich Village. It was awesome. Kurt our tour guide was amazing. He gave us so much information if I would go back and do the tour again I would request him. In fact I have friends going this weekend and I am about to give them the info on the tour and will have them request Kurt if they can get a tour booked up. We were three mom's with three 18 year old daughters. Our daughters enjoyed the tour as much as we did. It was great!!! Keep up the good work!!!
Sincerely,
