Awesome inside view of The Village

Terrific!!! This is my 2nd foods of NY tour, also did Chelsea Market. They offer a fantastic tour. The food and introduction to new restaurants is invaluable. On this tour you also get an insiders view of the village, the architecture, the history, and what it is today. A new view of NY. Loved it and would highly recommend it. Amy

I thought our guide was very good and informative. The spots we stopped for sampling were very good. My only suggestion would be to have the desserts after the entrees.

Our guide was a very enthusiastic as well as entertaining. She provided us with a historical view into Greenwich Village that was very enlightening. We enjoyed the various food stops as well as samples provided there. All in all I would recommend this tour to anyone visting New York. It was intimate and like a fresh breath of air away from the busy traffic around Times Square and surrounding area.

Too many restaurant reviews

We did like the tour but we do have a few suggested changes: 1. Our tour lasted from 11:30 to 3 pm. This was too long. 2. Too many restaurant reviews/recommendations which were not of real import. While I can't remember them specifically, they were more like "a good place to get soup, " "a nice place for a date" or "all entrees are under $20." I didn't find this interesting at all. If I were interested in restaurant reviews in the area, I would go to Chowhound.com, Zagats, etc. and not pay $44 to stand on my feet and hear about them. 3. The food samples were fine as well as the anecdotes on the food itself. I would have preferred a greater emphasis on the food and Village history and keep the restaurant recs to a minimum. 4. And how does an aromatherapy store have anything to do with a Food Tasting and Cultural Tour any way?

WONDERFUL!!

This is my first tour of this kind and we didn't know what to expect. It was wonderful. The guide was great, so bubbly and energetic. She showed us places I would have never thought to go, these little mom and pop places that have been in the area for years. I would definitely do a another one, and I would definitely go back on my own to these sites!

I did this tour about 3 years ago, and loved it so much I wanted to do it again. My boyfriend also really enjoyed himself. Cindy the tour guide was so amazing. She shared so much of her knowledge with us. It is such an awesome way to spend 3 hours in the city.

Delisciously Informative
Sat, Aug 30  11:30 AM jennifeh Female 20-29 International Tourist(s) Group of Friends
This tour really was above and beyond anything that I had expected. There are a few things that it wasn't. It wasn't rushed or boring. I was amazed at how great the food was, and that there were so many stops for more of it in way larger portions than I had anticipated. But more than that, the stories about the restaraunts, the people that work at them, the neighborhood and it's rich history, was absolutely wonderful to learn about. Our tour guide, Bari was really fun. She has a wealth of knowledge and a great sense of humour. It was fun to meet someone who enjoys good quility food as much as I do. Thank you so much for this most memorable experience. The first thing I'll do next time I come to New York City is check out another food tour!!! Oh, and did I mention this tour is exceptionally cheap considering what we got? It is! The tour was amazing and I am forever grateful to have learned more in three hours then days of touring the big apple. Thanks and thanks again!!! Jennifer Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Good Overview of The Village
Sat, Aug 30  11:00 AM rjohnson Male 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
My wife and I enjoyed the tour as it was a great vehicle from which to learn about The Village and get a feel for the layout - for a future visit. We ended up returning later in the evening and we enjoyed a delicious meal at the Cuban restaurant followed by dessert at Rocco's. We brought another couple along (who had never been to The Village) and introduced them to the area as well. I'm sure this tour isn't for everyone, but my wife and I did enjoy it. Of course the sunny, 78 degree day with a slight breeze and no humidity probably had a bit to do with how much we enjoyed the long walk too! One area they could improve on is the size of the group. We had 18. Due to the limited space in most of the shops/restaurant, taken with the limited space on the sidewalks - and distraction of the traffic - it can sometimes be difficult to concentrate or perhaps hear the guide (depending on the stop).
