We had an amazing time on the tour. The food was fantastic, and our guide was fun and knowledgeable. We went back to a number of stops later on in our trip! I will certainly return to try out other tours. Highly recommend!!!

Far exceeded my expectations

I had heard good reviews about the food tour in Greenwich village, but the actual tour was better than that. Barri was a fantastic tour guide. Keeping our group together was like herding cats, but she kept us on track. We expected small bites of food from each stop, but there was more food than we expected and it was all delicious - even the cauliflower! The three hours went by so fast, as we really enjoyed the food, the walk through Greenwich Village and all the information - both historical and current. Now i always look at brick to determine if a building was built in the Federal style.

The guide (Raheen) made the experience lots of fun while also teaching a great deal about the area's history and current culture. He showed great concern for the comfort of the group on a very rainy day while also being very respectful of the local people and customers. There was a genuine enthusiasm for the area and the businesses we visited. The food tastings offered a nice variety and were delicious. As a result of the tour we look forward to confidently exploring the area on our own and will definitely visit many of the businesses included on the tour. We look forward to participating in other tours offered by this company.

Kurt was our guide, and I cannot say how entertaining, informative and enjoyable he was with our group. It was raining and cold and no one cared!! Every stop was fun and the food never disappointed. The arancini (rice ball) was incredible...Thank you so much. This was the second food tour with your company and I enjoyed this one even more than the last...didn't think that could be possible. Next time: Tour of Chinatown!!!

A MUST when in NYC!!

As usual, this was one of the top highlights of our trip to New York. I brought a group of 8 ladies most of whom had never been to NYC. This was my 3rd Greenwich Village food tour. I never tire of this activity and always book it when I bring friends and family to NYC. Our guide this time was Marie who couldn't have been more enthusiastic or fun herself! She was full of info and entertaining as well. Every stop was over-the-top delicious. I know you switch it up sometime as far as where we stop, but please don't ever NOT stop at Joe's Pizza!

This was a really great tour, enjoyed by me, my wife, her parents and even our 16 month old daughter. Our tour guide (Bert) was funny, knowledgeable and very approachable. I was very surprised by how much food we got: easily enough to satisfy my lunch needs (my mother-in-law didn't have dinner!) It was a great way to visit the Village and I would strongly recommend this to anyone, local or international.

Good way to become familiar with an area.

We were lucky to have beautiful weather in April for our tour. We were feeling quite full at the end of it. I was surprised with the history information included on the tour. On the one hand, it was fun to hear details about buildings, etc., but I would rather have visited more local restaurants or businesses than to sit (or stand) and listen to the tour guide making jokes (a bit forced and overdone). My recommendation would be that Zerve include more places with smaller portions of food, and less time. Two hours would have been plenty for this tour.
