A must do when you are in NYC!

Loved the tour of the village, the food, the 'hood. Guide was funny, with just the right amount of NYC obnoxiousness! She knew so much and we learned and laughed a lot. And boy, we were full by the end! Check it out!

My friends and I from Melbourne would highly recommend this tour. The diverse information was fantastic and Kerrianne was an enthusiastic, laid back and passionate guide. The food was also amazing.

Sephra was an amazing guide and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. She even took the time to give us some more suggestions for places to go later in the evening. Thanks again!

This tour was an excellent way to use three of our precious hours in NYC. It had a perfect mix of walking, eating, sitting, historical info, etc. The amount of food all said and done was just right. The guide (Sephra?) was excellent. Overall, I would definitely recommend this tour to others. I'll also plan to take another one of the Foods of NY Tour next time I visit!

This tour was highly recommended by a friend who is very careful about her recommendations. We found it exciting, very interesting and most of all, enjoyable. Our guide Cindy was very lively and knowledgeable. She also was very popular among the locals and had a friendly attitude toward the diverse members of this group. The food samples were adequate and Cindy controlled the distribution of these as well as where we stood to eat or where to sit or stand to listen without bothering the locals too much. Our group was never in the way, and we appreciated that very much. We were also very well received by the staff at the places we visited: Murray's, Fiaccos, Milk and Cookies, Joe's Pizza, etc. At Oliviers & Co., Steve was most helpful providing us with useful, and humorous, information on olive oil. The olive oil samples on various breads were out of this world! We also enjoyed the wonderful cookies from Milk and Cookies and came back for more the next day. Cindy's historical information on buildings and places was a joy. We learned interesting stories such as the one about the house that is not big enough to have a full number but is worth millions, the beautiful corner house made out of wood, and the Greenwich Village theater, an off broadway venue. This tour was very exciting, enjoyable and memorable, and I recommend it wholeheartedly.

This was an interesting way to get to know a bit of history about the Village and to get a glimpse of its many offerings. Food tastings were extremely rich, each and every one of them. People who put tour together must have had iron stomachs. Highlight of tour was olive oil shop - very educational. Cindy, the tour guide was educated about the area, but was condescending to one of the women on the tour and made some politically incorrect comments that made me very uncomfortable. As tour guides go, she was fair at best.
