So Much Fun

Our tour guide, Bert, was wonderful and so knowledgeable. We had a wonderful time learning the history of the Village while having our tastings. Food was great and our group was a lot of fun, which Bert helped along. I would highly recommend this tour. It was a highlight of our visit to NYC.

We took our teenage sons to New York for spring break, and I have to say that our entire group really enjoyed this tour! Not only was the food delicious, but we also were able to get to know New York on a much more personal level. Bert our tour guide was fantastic and full of interesting information and tips! The next time we come, we plan to take another food tour because it's the best way to get a feel for the neighborhoods.

The Original Greenwich Village Food Tour introduced me to hidden gems that a local downtown gal found just as exciting as the tourists in the group! I learned so much history on the neighborhood that I did not know and now have great restaurants and specialty food shops to add to my list! Thank you for a great experience- and for delicious food of course! I hope to try the other NYC neighborhood tours that are offered and will recommend this tour in particular to friends and family! Bon Appetite!

If there is one thing you HAVE to do while in NYC is enjoy the best of the many food offerings it has. This tour is fun, brilliantly curated amongst the Greenwich Village food joints, sprinkled with interesting historical and community information. Loved it.

Really terrific super delicious interesting tour
Sun, Mar 10  11:00 AM mjhall11 Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
My family (two adult kids and my husband) had an awesome time spending three hours on sunday with Bert, our guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about Greenwich Village and pointed out lots of really interesting places and features. The highlight, of course, was the food, and we had plenty of it, each sample more delicious than the one before. My daughter and I have done this tour once before and brought the rest of the family back to enjoy it. They loved it and we enjoyed it every bit as much as the first time. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Our tour guide was phenomenal! We celebrated my mom's birthday on the tour and Rahim helped to make it very special for her and her friends. It was a great day! All of the staff associated with the Food Tour of NY were extremely helpful and enthusiastic about the information they were providing. I sincerely recommend this tour!

Great history and food...also amazing tour guide

I'm a local but was entertaining a colleague visiting from the West Coast who had never been to NYC. I thought this would be a fun way to get her to know one of the many neighborhoods of NYC and get some sustenance in the process. This tour far exceeded our expectations - the tour guide told me things even I didn't know, got great insight to some of the Federalist style homes and who lived in them over the centuries, and the food was amazing. I will absolutely go back to every establishment we visited (8 in total and sampled at each one of them) and I've told everyone I know about Food Tours of NY. Can't wait to tackle the other four tours they offer. No need for lunch after our tour. Totally worth every penny.

Great for "foodies" and history lovers
Sat, Mar 9  12:00 PM klcooper Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
All of the food tasting items were amazing with great quality and flavor. I thoroughly enjoyed every bite. The buildings in the historic are fantastic, and it was so interesting to hear about how the Village got its foundation. Eating in the farmhouse at Palma's was such a unique dining experience. I want to do this tour again when I visit NYC next time.

Great day in the Village
Sat, Mar 9  11:30 AM Chrisbry Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
We took my Mom to NYC for her birthday and tried all kinds of different food and learned about the Village. It was a great day, could have been more walking, we went out on our own after the tour and found so many more great places. We definitely have to come back!

Not enough food, too expensive for quality
Sat, Mar 9  11:00 AM carlyjoy Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
I do not feel this tour was worth $50 a person. I am not a big eater and even I felt there was not enough food provided to call it a meal (which in the description this was described as being enough for a meal), I can't imagine how the men felt. Most of the stops would cost less than a dollar to purchase that food yourself- wish we had just gone by ourselves to taste things at different stores, would have saved a lot of money. We did not find the information given at all valuable or interesting or anything we didn't know before. Ultimately, I can not believe we spent $104 on this. Would NOT recommend to anyone.
