I loved this tour. The history was facinating and well reseached and delivered as we walked through the neighborhoods. Stopping in specialty shops as we walked along to taste delicious bites of home made delicacies was so much fun and yummy too!

This was our second time taking this tour. We went in the spring of 2004 and now just took a group of twelve with us!!! The tour was a bit different than the first tour, but still interesting and delicious! We also did the Meatpacking district tour this time, too! Also, was not disappointed. Grab some comfortable shoes, bring your appetite and go!!!

The tour was GREAT! The guide was very witty and gave us many good tips on places to go in Greenwich Village.. I would not have enjoyed the place so much without this first introduction... After the tour I went to one of the restaurants to dine.. Really good stuff!!!! I strongly recommend taking the tour..! Specially for the ones that like the "insider" information and not just the touristic stuff........

The Margarita pizza at the start of the tour set the stage for a great tour. Our guide was so friendley and informative. She seemed to really enjoy her job. All the food samples were so good ,we sure were'nt hungry when it was over. We would recommend the tour highly.

This was such a great way to explore and learn about the history and culture of Greenwich Village while at the same time tasting great food from mom and pop places. We actually went back to about five of the places we learned about on the tour.

Amazing and informative fun-Michael was fantastic!

Michael gave us a tour that all of us agreed was the best one any of us had ever been on -- ever! The food was great, and more, the context of the history, local characters, architecture and secret hideaways made for an incredible world in three short hours. Highly recommend the tour and most especially Michael for his humor, enthusiasm, and insider scoop. He clearly loves his neighborhood and his city.

Wonderful historical, ethnic and culinary journey

Curt was our tour guide, an extremely likeable and engaging fellow. It was our first time in Greenwich Village, and it was great having a savvy "local" show us around. We learned so much about the history, culture and foods in the neighborhood that we now feel like locals. I personally liked all the food stops, but my only wish was that there be a few more. I wasn't full when the tour concluded.
