| My husband and I went on this tour as part of his birthday celebration. We had a great time walking around with the group and learning more about Greenwich Village. The tastings were fantastic and perfectly timed. We even learned about a lot of other restaurants and hangouts in the area that we could come back too. We are from Queens and we love walking around the city and experiencing new things. The tour really opened up the area for us! We want to take the other tours that Food Tours of new York has to offer. |

| We received the tour as a gift, and went this past Saturday. Unfortunately, this was also the first 90+ day of the year, and it was unbearable. This obviously wasn't the tour guide's fault; in fact she went out of her way to keep us in the shade.
However, what I thought was a food tasting tour turned out to be a history lesson with food. Some food. We missed the first two stops because the trains were slow, and we weren't allowed to join up with the next tour, but in a 3 hour "food tour" we ate a rice ball, a cookie, a tiny slice of pizza, and some cheese with a slice of bread.
I understand that there are other tours that are a bit better, but I cannot honestly recommend this tour to anyone unless they are fans of NYC history. |

| A very satisfying tour, that highlighted the uniqueness of many Village shops and restaurants. The tour concentrated on food places that are special to the Village. THIS IS WHY PEOPLE VISIT NEW YORK, AND WHY MANY LOVE TO LIVE THERE -- the wonderfully unique (and in some cases brilliant) aspects of the City, including the special food shops and restaurants that are unique to the Village. It isn't special that a visitor to Manhattan can go to a Subway, a TGIF, an Apple Store and a Bed, Bath & Beyond. Anybody can do that in a thousand different malls all over the USA. But it is special to discover unique shops and restaurants that are operated independently, with care and even love. This tour helped me do that in the Village. Good stuff. Great tour. |

| This was my second time to NYC. I have done this tour twice now with 2 different groups of people. We all agree that this is our favorite part of the trip.
We did go back later and dine at one of the recommended restuarants and it also was a wonderful experience. |

| We had Heather as our tour guide. She did an incredible job. I was a little unsure about this activity because you just never know what kind of person will be leading you, but she was so friendly and a pleasant personality to be around for three hours. I absolutely loved all the the knowledge that was given about each place and especially the historical landmarks. This tour was very informative while getting to eat great food along the way. This was definitely worth the money, I believe it was a reasonable price for the activity and food. I wish I lived in NY so that I could return to all of those places. The next time I come for a visit, I would like to take another one of your tours in a different area. Then spend a lot of time eating at the places I already visited. I had already been in NY for four days before I took this tour, and I was so disappointed because I just didn't know where to get that NY food experience I've heard so much about. Thank goodness I went on your tour, it left me more than satisfied so that I could happily travel back to Texas with a NY food experience! Thanks Heather for making our Bachelorette Party Weekend such a fun enjoyable time with friends! Good luck with that acting career! |

| Funny how our trip, which included helicopter rides and Broadway shows could really be topped by such a wonderful tour. Michael, our guide, was excellent. He was both informative and casual. The food was great but his deep knowledge and appreciation for the Greenwich Village culture was inspiring.
The trip involved myself and my two teenage daughters. We *all* enjoyed the tour. And that really says it all.
Thanks! |

| I booked the Greenwich Village Food Tasting and Cultural Tour tour for my mother (a Senior) and myself. The tour was three hours long, but we didn't want it to end. Our tour guide, Dave was great and his love of the area was apparent. Both of us loved this tour and would recommend it to locals or visitors. |
