Original Greenwich Village Food and Culture Tour

Although our tour started on a rainy note, they were ready with disposable rain ponchos which worked out perfectly. The walking was easy - all of our tastings took place in a few short blocks, so don't let that detour you. The food was excellent - everything from great pizza, cookies, olive oil tasting, cheese.... and much more. The discussion of the neighborhood architecture was interesting and fun without being "too" educational and boring. Its great for the local Greenwich businesses as we will positively be back. I travel a lot, and i would rate this as a definite highlight that should not be missed.

This tour was the best thing we did on our trip to NYC! It covered all the bases: educationa/historicall, interesting, delicious, entertaining and altogether WONDERFUL!!! I will do this tour again and recommend it to all my friends and family.

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour, Heather offered a wonderful mixture of food commentary and history! I would like to suggest that you add a little more variety of foods to this tour. It was a little heavy on the pizza (2 stops) and Italian foods. I am sure Greenwich Village has some great Indian, Asian, Spanish, etc.

Really good food and excellent tour guide.

Everything was excellent: warm, friendly greeting in front of Murray's Cheese Shop, Bert, the best guide ever, the delicious food and hospitality provided by each vendor, the tree-shaking demonstration by Claw, the history lesson, the neighborhood tour - the entire experience was a blast. Can't wait to do it again!

This was an activity on our second honeymoon, and it was perfect. Even the rain did not dampen our enjoyment. And, truthfully we weren't out in it that much. Our guide, Burt, was excellent. He was so knowledgable, funny, and considerate- it was a pleasure. We even got to tour a theatre which was sublime for me. The food was fantastic, yummy and plentiful and we were treated well in all the locations.It was no problem for me being a vegetarian on this tour, and again was treated kindly in this regard. I did think the one treat that was a fig with bacon would have been fun without the bacon, but it wasn't that big a deal to get something else. We extended our pleasure by going back to some of the shops and getting food to take on the plane...wow was that fun. All in all, a wonderful day!

BERT WAS AN AWESOME TOUR GUIDE. SO KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE VILLAGE AND OF FOOD. HE MADE THIS SO FUN! EVEN WITH THE RAINY WEATHER WE'D DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN. GREAT BARGAIN, GREAT FOOD, GREAT FUN! THANKS BERT! I HOPE YOU GUYS ARE AWARE OF WHAT A GREAT EMPLOYEE YOU HAVE AND REWARD HIM GENEROUSLY!

We enjoyed it so much we went back the next day and had lunch at one of the restaurants recommended.

Our guide Sefra was knowledgable and helpful! The food on the tour was delicious and the portions perfect. An added bonus was that our guide knew so much history about the area, We would highly recommend this tour!

This tour was fantastic and excellent value for money. Bert, our leader, was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The venues chosen were wonderful the best part being that if you had just been wandering yourself, you would have easily overlooked them. The olive oil shop was fascinating and the off-tour visit to the small theatre was a great surprise. Will definitely be recommending this to other friends visiting New York
