| Our tour guide was Ed. He had great enthusiasm and knowledge of Greenwich Village. He made the tour interesting and included everyone as he talked of the history in the area.
Personally, two pizza places was one too many, but different types of pizza was being illustrated, so I understand why it was done.
I do and would recommend the tour to others ! |

| We had six in our group including a 5 year old and we all loved it! The little one got a little tired because well, she's a five year old :). Ed our tour guide was VERY infomative and not only taught us a lot about the food in the area but a lot of the history! The places that he took us were awesome and very unique to the area. I would definitely say to do this tour first on your trip because you will want to go to at least one of the restaurants!! You will also be pretty full when you are finished. A++ |

| Amazing guide and tour! Michael was not only very informative and knowledgeable - but he was also friendly and generous. Loved the history he shared, the intriguing past of Greenwich Village that he spoke about and was a part of. And of course, wonderful food! Truly a cultural experience. I highly recommend this tour. Take it with Michael! |

| I was the only "local" in our tour group yesterday afternoon, having grown up in Brooklyn and more recently been living in the suburbs. I've spent much time in Greenwich Village over the years, but I really never had concrete knowledge about anything more than what directly involved me! The time was perfect for me to learn. Our tour guide, Michael, was filled with a mix of knowledge that I was more than ready to take in. Michael was funny and smart, an awsome combination for a cultural tour guide.
I was with my fiance who is from several hours away (so almost local) and he enjoyed getting the insider's view on what's good and what might be better. He has a list, from places where we tasted and comments Michael made, about where he'd like to return. He came home with a whole stack of business cards and menus!
There was ample food for this to be lunch... and while we certainly didn't need to go back and purchase more food after the tour was over, we were so into the moment that we went and bought cheese, Italian meats, olive oil and bread... so were able to come home and continue the food experience at home last night.
For anyone who is afraid of the walking, in total, we walked just a little over 1 mile in just over 3 hours. There was a nice mix of walking, standing... and sitting. We had 3 of our tastings inside, sitting at tables. My fiance is not a walker and so we were concerned this might be too much for him, but that didn't prove to be the case. Personally, I would have preferred more walking to offset all I ate! But that's just mean and certainly not a criticism of the tour in anyway!
I've been raving about the tour since. We look forward to either doing this one again with out of town guests, or trying out another one on our own. All in all, a great experience... and a great value as well. |

| What a wonderful way to experience and learn the history and culture of a NY neighborhood, with culinary delights thrown in along the way.....a perfect pairing! We went on a different tour last year and loved it. We found this year's neighborhood and food tastings to be just as enjoyable. We were a group of Mother's and daughters and both of our generations loved the whole experience equally. We highly recommend adding a food tasting tour to your NYC visit. |
