Wonderful Experience

This tour was a great way to get the insider experience in Greenwich Village. It was a fun way to spend a couple hours learning about the neighborhood and the city and to taste some great food. Food was plenty to replace a lunch meal. Our tour guide (Heather) was very knowledgable about the area and the restaurants and did a tremendous job. Would recommend that you take this tour early in your visit to NYC so you can go back and visit some of your favorites from the tour on your own - after our tour, my wife and I returned to visit two of the restaurants on our own. This tour is for NYC locals, domestic tourists, and international tourists - we are from the Midwest but there were people from NYC and Great Britain in our group and everyone seemed to have a great time.

If you are a 'foodie' or want to do something other than visit the typical tourist spots of mid-town, this is a great way to see one of the local neighborhoods, taste some of the local foods, and experience a part of New York you may not normally think to visit. The tour provides a good mix of local history, points of interest and of course tasty food! You visit approximately seven 'eateries' and experience a variety of sample foods from a local pizza shop,one to two sit down restaurants and several specialty shops. Information about the area's landmarks and history are interwoven during the stops on the tour. The food is authentic and in most cases made while your groups waits and it certainly fills you up. I was surprised at the size of the samples you get. You definitely will not go away hungry. The tour starts promptly on time and you do keep moving throughout the three hour time period, but you never feel rushed. You do not typically have time to purchase the products on the tour but each stop is located within a several block area so you can always return to a shop to purchase additional items after the tour. I highly recommend this for anyone who likes to try different types of foods and is looking for something different to do during their visit to New York.

Great food and historic information

A fun walk around the village, so many delicious food tastings, great information of the area, architecture and shop owners. A must-see, must-do when visiting New York. I am a local and I take visiting family and friends on these tours when they come to visit. The tour usually becomes the highlight of their trip! It's also something people should do at the beginning of their stay in the city as the tour will recommend and offer coupons as well for restaurants and shops. You get a good feel of where you want to go back to and areas you want to explore.

Fun way to get a sense (and taste) of Greenwich.

Our tour guide, Rahim, was enthusiastic and made the stops interesting with his anecdotes. He also made a point of engaging the children in the group. Food was good and we were full enough to skip dinner by the end. Would definitely recommend to anyone travelling to NYC.

Chose to get tickets for this tour to celebrate my foodie-in-training BF's bday; needless to say he was in love! We had an amazing time, ate great food, laughed, walked and learned a lot about a neighborhood we both thought we already knew so well :) Raheem was fantastic. Will definitely recommend going forward.
