| i scheduled this tour for myself and two friends that were visiting from out of town. our guide was absolutely charming. the tour was great for me (someone who just moved to the area) because i got some great ideas of places i'd like to visit in the near future. and it was also a great way for my out of town guests to see and learn about the village. not only was the tour entertaining and educational, but the food was delicious! the variety of the food we tasted struck the perfect balance between sweet and savory. i was definitely glad we had skipped breakfast beforehand because we were stuffed by the end! |

| We did the Greenwich tour in October 2008 and really enjoyed it. Our guide Marie was very enthusiastic about the area having lived there herself for many years.
Tour runs at a gentle pace and food tasting is nicely spaced out. Nice variation as well with the food.
We had a group of 16 and this gave opportunity to chat with others from other parts of the world.
All round a good tour & would happily recommend.

| The fact that the weather was beautiful for the end of October was an added bonus. Our guide Barri was very knowledgable and she made the tour enjoyable for me. We got an insight into life in this area in bygone years as well as the history of the various food stores visited. It is obvious that the company has done it's research into each of the venues chosen and it is three hours well spent. Each tasting was just right and not too filling. At the end lunch was not required! I would highly recommend the tour to a foodie who is also interested in the history of the locality.
I look forward to taking one of their other tours when I next visit NYC. |

| The tour started exactly on time and lasted about 3 hours. There was very little standing around and everything moved smoothly. The tour guide (Barri) was extremely knowledgeable and personable. I learned a lot about the history of the area, the architecture and the food. All food tastings were interesting and tasty. There was plenty to eat and no one was interested in having lunch afterwards. My wife and I were delighted with the tour and want to go on the tours of Chinatown and the Chelsea Market/Meatpacking. Well worth the price of $42/person. If you are in New York - take one of these tours, you won't be disappointed. |

| Our tour guide, Cindy Kiner (sp?), is a gem. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and laughed when we weren't eating. I recommend this otur to anyone who's interested in learning about the Village, its history, architectural gems and great foods. We'll be back for other tours. |

| We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Heather. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the area; both for the restaurants and the architecture which made the tour so special. When we return to NYC we will be booking one of the other tours. The places that we stopped were very friendly and the tastings were the perfect size. Great Job!!!! |

| We would never have learned as much about the area on our own as we did on this guided tour. Our tour guide, Heather, took plenty of time to answer every question and was in no hurry to finish the tour. She knew the area well and was very pleasant. |

| Thanks to Cindy for an amazing 3+ hours! Our group of 15 from all over the states and a wonderful time. Our two wheelchairs were wonderfully accomodated. The food was top notch and Cindy's knowledge of the Village, history, and the neightbors we ran into along the way were the icing on the cake. Several of our group returned over the weekend to attend the Cherry Hill Theater and dine.
We will definitely recommend this tour to our friends and will be back on our next visit!!

| I would only recomend this tour for people who understand english american really well as coming from Spain my husand found it very hard to understand, also the guide talked a lot about American writers etc and although this is great for American tourists as international tourists we didn´t know any of them.The food was good but not abundant as led to believed. It was wet and cold and got boring by the end ,nothing to do with the guide who was doing his best to do his job , we feel we made a big mistake and it wasn´t what i had expeted. |
