Cool way to spend 3 hours in NYC

We had a great guide and he made it all more attractive. Ask for Bert when you book the tour. We had a chance to visit those very small theaters and stages were many successful careers started, and these places are not listed everywhere. Lunch menu included pizza, meat ball, canoli, cheese, cookies and an interesting experience on tasting olive oil. Walking around the historic buildings made it easier to understand how New York became such a diverse environment.

Delightful and informative

The tour was a highlight of our trip to New York - the food was delicious and we bought olive oil from O & Co and other items from Murray's cheese shop. The best part was the information that we learned - Bert was very knowledgable. I particularly liked the building information - architecture, the hidden gems that he was able to let us view. We felt that we had an insight into Greenwich Village that most tourists may not be exposed to. All in all it was a delightful experience and one that we will repeat and tell our friends about.

Fun, local history and food!

Two friends and I went on the Greenwich Village Food tour as part of a short NYC vacation. The tour exceeded our expectations. Our guide Sephra was wonderful --enthusiastic, funny and informative. We were pleasantly surprised at the wonderful food and the welcome we received at several restaurants, stores and bakeries we visited. We learned the history of the neighborhood and about some of the well known inhabitants. We went back to Home Restaurant that evening and had a fabulous meal and the next day we stocked up on cheese, olives, and crackers from Murray's for lunch on the train ride home. I just wish we'd had a smaller, earlier breakfast the day of the tour.

This was my first trip to NYC, and I knew I wanted to see Greenwich, and eat a lot of great food :-) This was a great way to accomplish both. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly. The food was fantastic. If I get the chance to go back I'll definitely check out their other tours.

A perfect day in the city.

My daughter and I had so much fun on this tour. Bert was a knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining guide; the food was beyond belief tasty and the choice of restaurants/stores/bakeries was superb. Afterward, we returned to some of the stops to buy olive oil, deli items, pastries & to schedule my daughter's 21st birthday celebration at one of the restaurants. We would never have known about these gems had we not done the tour. We would take it again in a New York minute!

Fantastic way to spend a morning!

My wife and I attended the food tour whilst on our Honeymoon in NYC. It was definitely a highlight of our trip. A great opportunity to try food we wouldn't normally try out and a unique opportunity to see some really interesting parts of the village with a great mix of history and famous tv landmarks. Our tour guide (Bert) was brilliant and clearly loves his job. An awesome experience highly recommended to all.
