Curt is a wealth of knowledge not only about food but the neighborhood. Secret spots, best menu items, architecture, history, you name it! The food was great too! Highly recommended.

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.

My friend and I recently took the Greenwich Village food tour. It was so much fun! Our tour guide was Sephrah. She gave us a really enjoyable experience. Her knowledge of the Village (as well as the rest of the city), her sense of humor and comedic timing, was unsurpassed. At the end of the tour she even offered up her email address to all of us incase we needed any future advice for traveling through NYC. The food was wonderful and the samplings are generous. It's hard to say which one was my favorite.There is no way you will leave the tour hungry! If you do, it's your own fault! When it came to the history portion of the tour, Sephrah left no stone unturned. It was ALL very interesting. I highly recommend the Greenwich Village tour, and Sephrah as your guide. If you aren't lucky enough to get her, she assured us that the other guides, as well as the other tours offered by "Foods of NY Tours" are just as wonderful. Enjoy!

Our guide was Sephrah! I had taken my friend for our 23rd birthday, the tour guide, was unbelievably awesome! The food was amazing and the whole experience was something I am looking forward to doing again.

This was exceptional. We could never have done so much in a few hours. I would book tours for every area on our next visit. We had only 2 days to see as much as we could and this by far was the best part of our trip. Bert was fantastic

Fantastic start to our break in New York

Sephra our guide was witty and charming. All the food tastings were good - we even went back to one of the restaurants that night and had a superb Italian feast. It gave us an insight into the foods of New York and the areas and history of Greenwich Village. A definite Must Do when in the Big Apple

Fantastic Day Out!!

This was a brilliant tour, the restaurants and shops visited were fantastic, as were the food samples!! delicious. Our tour guide was excellent , very knowledgable about the area and had been a chef herself so knowledgeable about and interested in the food. She was 'funny' and entertaining. All in all a very good day and I would highly recommend to anyone visiting New York

Lots of Fun and Great Food!

My whole family (husband and 15-year-old) had a wonderful time on the tour. Sephrah was hilarious and very informative. The food portions are large. I've been on ones where the group splits one or two large cookies. Here, you get your own. The mini canoli was amazing, as was the eggplant rollitini at Rafele's. My husband loved the NY style pizza at Joe's. (Keep in mind the food on the day you tour may be different.) I would highly recommend this tour.
