Original Greenwich Village Food and Culture Tour

This trip is highly recommended. We enjoyed every minute. Our next weekend adventure will include a day trip on our own to Greenwich Village. Had we not taken the tour our view of the Village might be very different. The tour provided information and fun from a locals perspective. Make sure to wear your sneakers and weather permitting clothes. We were soaked in the rain but still enjoyed the tour.

I think this activity would be good for locals but a waste of time for international visitors

I would highly recommend this delightful tour with Cindy. She dispelled all my pre-conceived ideas about New York and its natives. In spite of the January chill, Cindy created a warm jovial atmosphere as she introduced us to the charms of the Village. The variety of foods, ambiance, and places, blended with the history and wit of the guide created quite a delightful memory for us.

Our guide was knowledgeable, funny and gracious: I very much enjoyed the history and colorful facts about New York and the Village; however, it would have been nice not to have been standing outside in the cold so much of the time listening to those historical facts. Also, it wasn't exactly what I'd describe as an "eating" tour: 6-7 tastings (several of which I didn't care for) over a 3+ hour experience. Champagne could definitely liven this tour up, so BYOB!!!

Cindy, our tour guide, was by far the crowning jewel of the tour. She was knowledgeable, bubbly, witty, friendly and wonderful. Her insight into the village gave the tour more depth and made us feel like we were really getting to know the area like a true native. The restaurants, bakeries, and shops we visited were both great eateries and interesting places to visit and shop. We went back and shopped at a few of the places and plan on making reservations at a few of the restaurants for our next visit to the city. I would recommend this tour to anyone, local or tourist as a great meal and interesting and fun time.

The best money we spent in NYC. We had a great time, very insightful, and our guide was GREAT!

I highly recommend this tour. Our tour guide was great - knowledgeable and fun. We definitely got a flavor of the Village and it's wonderful food and interesting stores and history. We're from SF, which has a lot of good food, and we were all quite impressed with the quality and variety of the food.

I would thoroughly recommend it. The guide was committed and articulate. I suppose I had expected more esoteric foodieness, but I now see that the essence of the NY foodie is to care deeply about the quality even of basic staples like pizza and olives. There was also unexpected and fascinating chunks of history e.g. the speakeasy.

As frequent visitors to NYC, my teen-age daughter and I were looking for something "different" to do. This tour was one of the best we have ever taken of NYC. It was the perfect mix of Village trivia, architecture facts, history, and FOOD. The restaurant stops were wonderful and the food was fantastic!

Very good and informative tour Excellent guide Cindy
