| Took the Greenwich Village Tour in 2005 and loved it. Wondered if this might just be a straight repeat, but still felt it was worth going. We were delighted to find both old favorites and new places to see on the current tour. Marie, our guide, was so good.
We've also previously taken the Chelsea Market and Central Village/SoHo tours, and look forward to repeating those also! |

| We were looking forward to the tour and it exceeded our expectations. The guide Barri,was informed, friendly, organized and personable. The variety of locations were great. We learned a lot about food, NY, history, and Greenwich Village. The walking was easy. Our group was ages 28, 60, 61 and all agreed it was one of the great things about our trip to NY. We would do a similar tour in a heartbeat!!! |

| The GV food tour was great. Not only did we get some great samples from the local restaurants and providores but also learned some of the local history in the area from our guide. Very highly recommended. |

| My husband and I had a wonderful time. We loved our guide (Marie) and everything about the tour: the tasty samples, the history and learning about the purveyors and restaurants of the West Village. We are recommending it to all our friends and will come back to visit the restaurants included on the itinerary. We also filled a shopping bag at Murray's Cheese shop which we are enjoying here at home. ALSO, this was our 20th wedding anniversary, and we were treated to a candle-lit cupcake at Milk & Cookies Bakery, a nice touch. Everything was delicious and the tour educative and entertaining. Thank you! |

| The tour lasted just over the scheduled 3 hours, and Marie was very informative and knowledgable and kept a close eye on her party ! The food tastings were great, Pizza, Cannoli's, cheese and olives, a pine nut fry up and more, and I really liked the food at Soy and Sake, I am not vegetarian but the sample we tried was out of this world. This is the second food tour I have taken of Greenwich Village (the last time I took the tour over 3 years ago)... I would definitely go on it again and would recommend this to anyone wanting to take a historical tour of Greenwich Village and sample the delights that are offered in the neighbourhood !! |

| Our tour guide was Marie and she was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Greenwhich as well as New York. She showed us places that we would never find on own. We can't wait to go back and retrace our steps. We will definitely do more tours to get to know the fabulous city better! |

| My husband and I were on a long weekend trip to NYC and since I am a foodie we were recommended by friends to take one of these food tours. We did the Greenwich Village one where it focuses on the west village. We had tastings at 7 different places, a couple world famous pizza joints, Murray's Cheese Shop, Rocco's, a Japanese vegetarian place. It was all fantastic and we were full by the end. Our tour guide was Bari and she was fantastic. Incredibly knowledgeable about the food and also the history of the neighbourhood and clearly a person who loves NYC and is eager to share it. We saw and learned things that we never would had we not taken the tour. The group is small enough (about 15) that it's very manageable and you don't ever feel crowded or hurried. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone and our next trip back will take one of the other tours that they offer! |

| The Greenwich Village Food Tasting and Cultural Tour was FANTASTIC. We'd heard that there wouldn't be much food and were pleasantly surprised to be fed like kings and queens. The food was excellent and plentiful and the history shared was captivating. Next time I'm in NYC, I'll go back to Greenwich Village and revisit some of the spots! |
