| We were planning to have to leave the tour partway through, expecting that the five year old along with us would get bored after an hour or so, but it was the perfect combination of moving around, eating treats (which were very well liked by a pretty food-fussy litttle girl; pizza, cheese, cookies, canolli, were especially well liked), and hearing stories. The guide was stellar at supporting the grownups and the little one alike.
As a new resident of New York it was a great way to get acquainted with the village. Bravo! |

| We enjoyed the tour, our guide Sephra. was very entertaining. Great bang for the buck! Would have preferred less fried food (3 tastings) and more opportunity to sit down during the 3 1/2 hour tour. |

fun to do

| We enjoyed the tastings and the fact that we wouldn't have thought to try these eateries had we not gone on the tour. We felt that the tour could have been shortened by 1/2 an hour - there was a bit of standing around quiet time and sometimes we just seemed to be going really slow. Our tour guide was very nice, had only been on the job for a year - when she gets more seasoned I think she'll be able to fill the quiet time with more village history, food details etc. |

| Marie was a great guide. Nice balance of Greenwich Village history, and information about the food we were tasting. Didn't feel rushed. The locals know Marie, and she shared that she had a great boss. I liked the fact she liked her job, it showed. Yummy tastings, wasn't stuffed at the end, but pleasantly full. Only draw back was no place to sit mid tour; could have used a little more of a seat break mid tour. |

| We had a tour with Sephra, who is fantastic - the hubs and I strongly recommend her for this tour - she's awesome! The "tastes" are way more than than the "samples" you get a grocery store for instance. You do walk everywhere, but it's a nice pace and the stops are frequent.
The Greenwich tour is a great way to get to know a part of NYC that can be a little confusing for people who are unfamiliar with the area, while getting to learn fun facts and enjoy tasty food! If you take this tour, ask any questions you may have, you never know what you might discover and learn! |

| We joined a group guided by Sephrah (sorry if wrong spelling) who was just wonderful. She was so knowledgeable, entertaining and personable that we just didn't want the tour to end. Then there was the food...it was just terrific - lots of variety and all excellent quality. We were accompanied by our two daughters aged 18 and 21 and they loved it all too.This really is simply the best way to explore Greenwich Village not only for the food but also to learn about the history and culture in a relaxed and fun way. The tour was very well organised and planned and I cannot praise Sephrah highly enough - this was the highlight of our short break in New York. |

| This tour exceeded our expectations. We have taken tours in Seattle and Rome, but this had the terrific combination of suberb leadership, well thought out places of interest to visit, and delicious food tastings along the way. The tastings were quite generous. Our guide Sephrah, a former pastry chef married to a chef, was entertaining and yet seriously knowledgeable. We would recommend her and this tour to anybody visiting NYC or from NYC (like us...the only two of the fifteen in our group who were local) interested in a most pleasant 3-4 hour change of pace from just visiting the sights. Well worth the admission!

| I loved being able to join a group of people with a really enthusiastic and knowledged guide. It was also good that we got a list of places to go, and that the company was open about cooperating with some businesses and not others. It was good getting the printed information as well for later visits to GV.
I will recommend the tour + probably join a tour from this company next time I am in NYC. |
