I loved our tour guide. She made it so fun! The food was amazing. I had food allergies and they were so great and accommodating. It was very interesting and so much food. I learned so much about the history of greenwich village. Well worth the trip. I would highly recommend it!

Terrific tour that captured the essence of food, culture, architecture and history. We headed straight for scali on bleecker that evening! And we were not disappointed, just too full to eat all of those meatballs that came with the pasta(or maybe the other way around)

My friend and I were Australian tourists visiting New York and thoroughly enjoyed not only the wonderful food we tasted (there were plenty of taste sensations) but also the ambience of the picturesque Greenwich Village area and our knowledgeable guide's comments.

It was a really nice walk through Grenwich Village. The tastings was very tasty. Maybe it wasn't necessary to try two different pizzas and it felt like we had a little to little time to finish our tastings. Quick in-quick out. Otherwise we had a very good time with our enthusiastic guide who made a terrific job. I will highly recommend this kind of activity to friends visiting New York.

Great tour that allowed you to see things that I am sure we would have otherwise missed. Nice tasting and an opportunity to learn where you would like to visit again. The tour guide was pleasant, accommodating and very knowledgeable about the neighborhood, food and history of the area. I would most certainly recommend this to others, and we will absolutely book another food tour when we return to NYC. In fact, we will probably try to stay in Greenwich next time based on some B&B suggestions from this tour! Thank you so much.

Have taken this tour before, but brought along friends to experience the Village. Even as locals we continue to learn and leave with out need for dinner.

We all had a great time. A bit too many carbs. Was a bit disappointed in the amount of food offered at the sit down stop. Heather our tour guide was wonderful, informative and cheer ful. Would definitly try another food tour. Hope the food improves.

Great food tour in NYC

This was a great tour of food and history in Greenwich Village. Our tour guide, Bert, was so much fun! This was the first time our daughter was visiting New York so we planned to show her and her boyfriend as many sites as we could fit in. My husband and I went on a food tour once before on the East side of lower Manhattan and loved it. We are so glad we did a tour again. The tour started and ended at Murry's cheese shop on Bleaker Street. We did seven tastings and even sat down for a tasting. Bert gave us a history lesson as we walked from place to place. The tour was three hours but it went by so fast. It was a beautiful day and a great way to end our trip to NYC!

The tour was fabulous and Burt did a great job of providing us with descriptions of the food and history of the area. Everything was very well organized and Burt kept us in the know at all times. He was conscientious and humorous. I would do it again with my family!
