| I highly recommend the Greenwich Village Food Tour for both visitors and local New Yorkers who have a passion for food and are interested in learning a little bit as well. The tour provided interesting information about the history and culture of Greenwich Village, all the while satisfying taste buds. We tried two different styles of pizza, mouth-watering desserts, and some wonderful ethnic foods as well (falafel, rice balls, etc.). Our tour guide also provided recommendations on other places in the area that we didn't 'sample' at so that we could come back another time...and my boyfriend and I did just that! We traveled back to Greenwich Village the following day and the food and ambience at Cornelia's was fantastic!
Not only do we feel comfortable getting around Greenwich Village now but the tour was without a doubt one of our highlights from visiting NYC.
Be prepared for a little bit of walking but after all of the great food, it's definitely needed!
The only thing I would have liked to try is a local wine or beer.
Note: The tour guide only hands out one water bottle to each person at the beginning of the tour and after all of the walking and eating, you'll want something else. Bring your own drinks if you can. |

| My daughter and I loved this tour. Barri was a wondeful guide and gave just enough history, food information and humor to keep the tour interesting at all times. She was very informed and knew her products and the best places to eat. My daughter who is 26 commented that she would just love to come to New York and do food tours every day in different areas of the city. We just may do that next time. We were very full after the tour and didn't need to eat lunch...but we just went back to one of the places and had a drink and relaxed. We returned to some of the places to shop a few days later. Great tour! I would completely reccomend it to anyone. It wasn't all that much walking... just on your feet a long time. But there are places to sit down occasionally and restroom breaks...so that is good too.
great job! thanks

| We went on this tour on our last day. This was a big mistake! Should have done this first! Our guide was great and so enthusiastic about Greenwich village. The food we experienced was really good and plenty of it. However, the highlight was Greenwich village itself. Our guide took us to places we would never have seen or even guessed that these gems existed in a big city like New York. If or when we go back Greenwich will be top of the list. Excellent tour. Thanks! |

| it has been a long time since i have participated in any type of tour, but i have to say i thoroughly enjoyed this one. greenwich village has been a neighborhood i have always wanted to go to, and having a tour guide share the culture, history, and food was just the way to do it. granted, 3 and 1/2 hours is a very long time to be standing and walking, but i think it was worth it because a bus tour wouldn't have provided the same environment, and it would have been quite cumbersome moving along the streets (not to mention, getting on and off 8 times to taste the food). walking through the streets and local shops & restaurants gave me the feeling of being a local, not a tourist. i would highly recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys trying different foods, and learning about the neighborhood. |

| This walking food tour was truly money well spent. Our guide made all of us in our group of 15 feel welcome and included. She provided a wonderful introduction to many eateries, shops, and even a pub in Greenwich Village, but it was her genuine love of the area and the history she provided for all of the places we saw that made the tour so worthwhile. I'm so glad we took the tour early in our trip, because we went back by ourselves to Greenwich Villlage the very next day to get our fill of the foods we had loved!! I definitely plan to take the other food tours from this company on my next trip to NYC!! |

| This was our first ever trip to New York (we are from England) and we wanted to make the very best use of our five days in the city. We found the Greenwich Village Tour on the internet, & it seemed like an excellent way to get a flavour of the city. But it was even better than we had anticipated. Our guide, Marie, was so friendly, knowledgeable & helpful, that we didn't want to let her go! The three hour walk went in a flash, with lots of yummy food and fascinating facts and insights about one of the most interesting areas of New York. It was a pleasure to be taken round Greenwich Village by someone who really knew & loved the area & was prepared to share her enthusiasm with us. On Marie's recommendation, we later went back to have memorable meals in two of the restaurants, that we wouldn't have otherwise known about. Thanks, Marie, for making our holiday so special. Teresa, John, Tom & Luke. |

| We did this tour on our last full day. It was absolutely fantastic, and we really wish we'd done it earlier to take advantage of the vouchers and advice. We will keep all of the information and use it on our next visit. Our tour guide, Barri, was great and the group was really friendly. So much interesting info, and great food! A real must do tour. |
