| This was by far the highlight of our second trip to NYC. Our tour guide, Kurt, was not only hilarious, but also so personable and friendly that we felt as though we were walking around the streets of the West Village with a group of old friends rather than 15 strangers we had just met.
Thanks to the delicious foods we tried and the rich history of the neighborhood Kurt shared with us, we ended up spending another afternoon and two evenings in the Village feeling more like locals than tourists. On the last day of our trip, we even trecked back in the rain to pick up cookies from the Milk & Cookies Bakery to take back home with us. Thanks to you and Kurt for a wonderful time.
For anyone who enjoys good food and lots of laughs, this tour is for you! |

| My husband and I went on the Greenwich Village Walking Food tour, our tour guide was AMAZING!!!!!! Sadly I cannot remember his name (Curt maybe) but he had red hair and had moved to NY from Canada. He was extremely funny and very descriptive of our surroundings and the history behind it. He was very polite and gracious everywhere we went and appeared to have an excellent rapport with every business we stopped in. At one point one of the owners of a home came out yelling that we were too loud and our guide was very apoligetic and kind to the lady. She was easily pacified. My husband and I were very impressed with the entire tour and can not wait to return to NY to do it again. I am recommending the tour to everyone I know, that will be travelling to NY. I believe my brother and cousin already book a tour!!!! Customer sevice was excellent. Pricing was extremely fair. Everyone was professionaly and very helpful. Excellent company with extraordinary employees.

| This is the second time we have taken this tour. We had so much fun the first time, we thought it would be hard to top. We were wrong!!! Kurt, our tour guide was not only charming and knew ALL of our names within 5 min. of meeting us, he was HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!! I laughed the whole time!!!! He was also very informative as far as the history of each stop and places along the way.
The food was delicious and the people at all the places that we stopped at were great!!!!!
I would HIGHLY recommend this tour. You will definately want to do it again!!!!!

| The tour was a great way to really experience the culture of the Greenwich Village area. Our tour guide, Maria, was knowledgable and enthusiastic about being able to show us one of her favorite places. She looked after our needs and was concerned about our safety. The culinary locations that we visited provided us with generous and freshly-made samples of their fare. The guide also pointed out historical buildings and the story behind them. She also gave us information about some of the other restaurants in the area and suggested we try them at a later date. It made us want to book a return trip so we could do just that. We came away with the feeling that we had a good idea of the lifestyle and culture of Greenwich Village, today and from the past. |

| Two Irish pals visiting New York - loved the tour, the food and the scenery. The tour guide was wonderful - different cultures were hilarious (two very loud New Yorkers on the tour) - highly recommended! |

| My 16 year old vegetarian daughter had a great day. Enough said right there. But I will include that we had our son with us, who lives in Brooklyn and has done a show in Greenwich Village, and he learned some history and had foods that impressed and entertained him. We will go back and have meals in the restaurants highlighted on the tour. The food included pizza, cheeses, a giant meatball, a huge cookie, a mini canoli, and vegetarian samples that were works of art. The food was all good. The amounts were generous. The pizza was great. We had 2 celeb sighting along the tour. Our tour guide was energetic and informative. All made for a worth your time experience. |
