This tour was outstanding! Our guide was not only knowledgable but engaging and entertaining as well. He was only one of the components that made this such a fun tour. The food was outstanding, the stores were unique, the cultural history of the Village was colorful and the actual walk was quite enjoyable. What a great way to spend an afternoon! |

My husband and I really enjoyed this tour, and it inspired us to go back to the area a few days later to revisit some of the places recommended. Our tour leader Kurt was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. A great experience, one of the highlights of our holiday. |

The tour was my favorite part of the vacation. As a complete foodie, I felt so much more in the know. When I tasted the pizza in mid-town, I missed Joe and his use of San Marzano tomatoes - what a difference. My gallon jug of olive oil from Costco now offends me, and I am about to place a LARGE order for the really good stuff; I hope the sale is still happening or I might be devastated. I loved the small restaurants we toured; particularly, the one with the house in back - so cool. Our guide was UNBELIEVABLE; I would like to see the whole city with him. A couple of things that I would have loved might have been a taste of more hard to find cheeses - most of what we had was also available in Memphis. Best chocolate chip cookie I have ever had; and I make a really great cookie. I would have liked a taste of something a bit more unusual than what we had at the Thai restaurant; for example, the canolli was so perfect at Rocco's because know one else I know makes them that fresh and crisp; in contrast, the spring roll was great just not beyond what I am able to get in Memphis. What I liked best about the tour was the uniqueness of certain foods. I can't wait to return and take a tour every day. |

Our tour was taken by Kurt, who was very enthusiastic about the places we visited. Not only did he have a good knowledge on the establishments but he also gave a commentary on various places of interest on the tour, pointing out various sites.
The places we visited were great, as was the food and the amount of food we were able to taste.
It opened up a whole new area of the city we had not previously visited.
Highly recommended! |

Really enjoyable because of the food. Our tour guide was very professional and made sure that everyone had a good time. My only suggestion is that the food could've been a little more adventurous to appeal to the foodie types. |

The food is incredible!!! The information was fun and so very interesting. We had a great time. It is a relaxed tour, lots of walking but at an easy pace, with a great opportunity to get a great feel for the Village and the people who live there and who developed it and kept it so unique.
We took the tour the day before we were scheduled to leave. While we LOVED everything about it we would recommend that people take it earlier in their trip (which means booking it early!) so that they can take advantage of the restaurant recommendations while they are visiting.
Do it! It is one of the highlights of our trip. We are certain that we'll be ordering some things from the shops we visited (i.e. cheese, olive oil) because once you've had a taste of the authentic, how do you ever settle for anything else?
Enjoy! |

We both enjoyed the 3 hours very much. The food was very tasty. Each restaurant gave food that was a good representation of what they were reknown for. We all ate plenty of food and had opportunity to drink a variety of beverages as we went along. The history of the Village and the information on architecture also enhanced the day . The information had enough detail to keep everyone's interest and yet was never too drawn out. We returned that evening to retrace our steps, eat in one of the famous restaurants and feel the night life in that special part of NY City. I would have appreciated a fruit dish and a vegetable tasting, perhaps with vinaigrette or as a lettuce wrap or a kabab. Working as a nutritionist, I always promote a balanced meal which would be one that has at least 1 fruit and 1 vegetable along with all those other tasty foods we sampled. The tour guide Bari was a great personality to spend a day with and we recommend her highly. |

Marie's passion for the food, history, and culture of Greenwich Village truly brought the area to life. No guidebook can compare to her delightful and entertaining storytelling abilities that educated our group on "secret, insider-only" information that makes a tourist feel like a local. I have placed the printed guide from my tour in a safe spot, as it will be a valuable resource on my next visit to New York. Keep up the excellent work, because I'm already looking forward to my next tour! |
