| My friend and I met the tour group in the Village and our tour guide Cindy. Cindy was excellent in that she was a lot of fun, knowledgeable, helpful and quite the character herself. We enjoyed the time dealing with the archetecture more so than the restaurants. We would have been perfectly happy if there was no food simply because we felt it added very little to the overall experience. Keep in mind that we are local to NY and have both worked in the city for many years. In spite of that we found the tour of great interest. The history of the area is far more interesting that the pizza or cookies we consumed. Cindy worked hard and I believe everyone of the tour appreciated her humor and energy. This is a wonderful way to inexpensively learn about the Village area, it's shops, restaurants, homes and history. |

| Very unfortuantely, I couldn't go with the group, one of my sisters got ill. But the
rest of the group were all able to go and they made me sad, because they said it was one of the best tours they had been on! They also said how great the tour guide was and how informative she was and very entergenic....THEY ALL LOVED IT....I will have to go back and for sure do this tour...... |

| The Greenwich Village food tour was touted as providing an insider's look at the offerings in the Village, and it certainly has met my expectations. Our guide, Barri (sp?) was personable and very knowledgeable about both the history of the area as well as the food tastings. I especially found the Bleecker Street Pizza very tasty, and appreciated the fact that an employee gave us additional information at the olive oil store. Although I very much enjoyed all the tastings, I wished that Murray's Cheese would have served us something more local if there are such products. While I love Manchego and will willingly eat it at any given opportunity, it is something I can readily get in Toronto, and it would have been interesting to taste a flavour unique to the New York area. All in all, a wonderful experience! |

| In spite of the downpour, our group leader was upbeat and enthusiastic. You could tell she enjoyed what she was doing. We learned a great deal about the history of Greenwich Village. We also got a sampling of the variety of ethnic foods represented in the Village. I would recommend this as an "outsiders" way to learn what the "insiders" already know. |

| Our tour leader was very informed/ interesting/ personable. We loved the tour--- only wish we had started our NYC days with this so we could have spent more time in the area after learning things from the tour. We're thankful a Sun. tour was added or we would have missed this "treat"! We wholeheartedly recommend this tour! Mom & 2 adult daughters from Texas say "We'll be back!" |

| This is much more than just a Food Tour. It provides detailed history of both the food/restaurants and Greenwich Village. Our tour guide has lived in the area for many, many years and was extremely knowledgeable about its history. He also had a great sense of humor and kept us laughing. We learned a lot and ate some good food as well. I would recommend this tour for not only out of towners but for locals as well. We will probably look into and take other tours offered by Zerve. |

| We loved the little bites and tastes. We were also suprisesd by the historical and architectural tidbits of information that were included as well! Nice distance between food tastes with good amount of walking in between. We weren't miserably full when we were through. We would definitely recommend this to others (and already have!) |

| We had such a great time. I come from New York and have been to the Village many many times, but this tour took me to places that I have never seen before. It was great. I never realized how quaint the Village really is. The tour guide was fabulous and extremely accommadating!! We stopped at various places to taste the food and everything was just delicious. We even went back later in the day and ate in one of restaurants for dinner. I took business cards from every place we went to and plan on coming back to visit them again. Our group was just wonderful. Everyone should take this tour. It is fabulous!!!
