| Even though it was a rainy Saturday afternoon - we had a great time on the Greenwich Village Food Tour.
We sampled foods from 9 different places - with a great variety - specialty stores, bakeries, and restaurants. We also received info about many more area eateries and businesses. Our guide was great and really seemed to enjoy speaking about Greenwich Village and had great relationships with the businesses we visited.
Next time I'm in NYC I will definitely be returning to Greenwich Village. |

| A lot of fun! As a native New Yorker, I learned a lot about the history of the neighborhood and tried many new foods. It is so easy to grow up in a city and overlook some of the richness that it has to offer. I would certainly recommend this for anyone visiting New York because it is a great way to learn about a piece of the city off the beaten path. However, I would also suggest that locals take advantage of this very interesting and delicious tour! |

| Heather was a doll. She was so enthusiastic, took time for all of us, gave us great tips on restaurants-all in all good day. I wish she had info on the other tours you offer and the details of them. I want to bring a friend for her birthday in Jan and need more info.
Thanks.

| Our guide (Heather) was excellent! Very informative, knowledgable of the area, and fun. We are a group of upstate NY and Metro NJ friends who learned things about Greenwich Village that surprised us all. I am already planning on doing this tour again with my huband and adult children. THANK YOU!!! |

| It was great! We would do it again (and we probably will)! Our guide was fantastic. We had more food than we could have guessed, and it was all good. Plus we learned about the neighborhood and history. It is a fun way to spend an afternoon in New York! Really, don't wait, just go ahead now and make your reservations. |

| Our guide was Curt Upton, and in my opinion the tour could not have better. The
Tour took a little over 3 hours and not once in that time period was I bored or
Wanting for something to do. The guide was funny and extremly knowledgable
About the area and all of the local of interest. The food was fantastic and well chosen.
Even though I just went on the tour I would go again in a heart beat. Well worth the
Money and then some. |

| I hope I spelled Barrie's name correctly. She was an outstanding tour guide. She was very knowledgeable about Greenwich Village, and about its history. She seemed to have a great love of the Village and of NY in general. She kept us going at a good pace, and politely answered all of our questions.
The stops along the way were fabulous....great samplings of food, and a nice variety of places. I really enjoyed the whole visit, and would recommend it highly. |

| I loved this tour. It was so informative and of course the food was amazing. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgable and I feel like I know more about the neighborhood than most local New Yorkers. Next time I am back to the city I will definitely do another one and eat at the reccommended resturaunts. |

| Our group of nine consisted of three former New Yorkers, two Brits and visitors from Kentucky, Michigan and Massachusetts. All LOVED this tour. Our tour day was rainy and cool but nothing dampened our experience. We learned about the Village and ate our way from pizza to cookies and from a subtle cauliflower appetizer to faux BBQ'd pork at a Japanese vegetarian restaurant (and yes, you read that correctly). We learned about early Village history and it's modern development; about Washington Irving and Edna St. Vincent Millay; about Cherry Lane Theatre and basement jazz on Cornelia St. Dave, our guide was great. It is hard to please all of the people all of the time but Dave did this for more than three hours of fabulous fare and fun - even the jaded former New Yorkers were dazzled by what had been in their backyard, missed till now. |

| Dave was a terrific tour guide - enthusiastic, spoke clearly and audibly, seemed to know a lot of trivia and information about the area and the restaurants. I highly recommend him.
I really enjoy Japanese food but the Japanese pseudo pork and mini bento box was very poor. I was very disappoonted in that. The rice ball at the start of the tour was not served hot enough, either.
I attended a tour in late August and the food was much better. We did not do either the Japanese place or the rice ball. We had a chocolate breadstick and a thick slice of pizza instead. These were both better options. |
