| My husband and I have been to NYC many times and always try to explore a different area of the city. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Michael, our guide, was a colorful character and very informative while creating a relaxed, comfortable tour experience.
We were on an 11 AM tour and the food was so filling that we skipped lunch and dinner.
We fell in love with Grenwich Village and are anxious to stay nearby and experience the stops on our tour on our next NYC visit. |

| This was a wonderful tour that had been recommended by friends who were in N.Y. a few months ago. Michael our guide was very informitive, funny and very knowledgeable on the history of Greenwich Village. Your guide to resturants will be of use on our next visit. Thank you. I only wish we had done this early on the trip not the day we had to leave, because there are resturants that we definitely want to try.This was a wonderful experience I will be recommend it to friends visiting N.Y. |

| Really enjoyed this tour. I will say, I did feel somewhat touristy walking around in a group of 15. However, we had a great guide, ate delicious food and learned a lot about the neighborhood. I don't live in NY, but brought a friend of mine who does. She said she loved the tour, so I think it would be good even for locals.
Re: the food, everthing we tried I enjoyed. There were no clunkers. |

| Our tour guide was Michael who made the tour. He has spent many, many years in the Village, and he holds history that made the tour come alive. He was also very up-beat, enthusiastic, and fun. The locals seemed to know him and warmly greeted him as we did the tour. He took care of us so everyone was acknowledged and we knew a little about each other person on the tour. And, the food was terrific!!!!
He helped us feel very comfortable in the Village...so much so that the next morning we went back to have coffee. |

| Our group leader (Kurt) was fun and knowledgeable. He seemed to know every shop owner in the Village. The historical information and other current information on food and events in the Village kept our interest for the entire tour. The restaurant selections were terrific. Our family really couldn't eat another bite after the tour. We had a terrific time and have already recommended the tour to family and friends. |

| It was a little rainy as we started our tour & our tour guide handed out rain ponchos. Since we hadn't expected rain & didn't have umbrellas, it was a very pleasant surprise to have that taken care of for us. Our guide was very knowlegable & made the whole tour a very pleasant experience for us. We liked the variety of tastings and the time between each tasting so you didn't feel like you were constantly eating. I would do one of these tours again without hesitation! I wish we could have stayed in the area for a meal since we had such good recommendations on intersting places to try. I would definately recommend this to anyone! |

| The Foods of New York tour of Greenwich Village is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon in NYC. Whether you're a tourist or a local, the tasting of local fare while taking in the sights and sounds of the city is a delightful experience. The Tuscan pizza with fresh tomatoes and basil is tied for first place with the olive oils infused with cherry balsamic vinegar drizzled over freshly baked bread on my list of favorite tastings! |

| Couldn't have had a better time! The samplings were all great, especially our little "sit down" lunch and our guide Marie was great and enthusiastic. You could tell she loved her job and was very knowledgeable about the area and vendors. I especially liked the "residential" tour; finding new quaint areas in the City. |
