| This was the best way to experience foods the locals love, and learn a little history along the way. Our guide, Amy, was full of fun facts about the city, the people who live there, and "hidden treasures" in Greenwich Village. Our tour focused on Italian foods and it was all amazing. Appetizers, main dishes and desserts! We tried a variety of foods from locally owned shops and restaurants--a full meals worth by the end of the tour--and each tasting was better than the one before. At one restaurant, Palma, the chef even came outside and met privately with our group to tell us about his dish. We can't wait to go back to NYC and try another tour! |

| My husband and I traveled to New York for a romantic Valentine's Day weekend. Back home, DC had experienced the worst snowstorn ever recorded. Needless to say, we were excited to get away.
Despite the below freezing temperatures, our tour guide really knocked this one out the park! The tour was rich in content from both a cultural and food tasting perspective. Although we had traveled to New York several times in the past, we learned about some of new York's best "off the beaten path" attractions. |

| My husband and I had a fabulous time on the Greenwich Village food tour. The food was delicious and the guide was great. We learned so much about the area and can't wait to go back on our own to revisit some of the places. We had a blast! |

| The tour was the best part of our trip. It provided a small 'taste' of NY in a creative and fun way. A great way to experience the Greenwich area for an affordable price. Would definitely recommend it to others and do the tour again! |

| The Greenwich food tour was a great way to tour the area and get a delightful mix of historical architectural and foodie related information all within 3 short hours. The information topics ranged from what makes a real New York style pizza to who lived in certain buildings and when. Local snippets of information made the tour lively and real. The several non-small tasting portions also helped keep us occupied. Lots of fun had by all. |

| We had a wonderful time on the tour. I would recommend this tour to anyone and everyone. Not only was the food outstanding, but the city tour was also great. I recommend not eating before the tour, you will be more than full after the tour. |

| Our group of girlfriends have been coming to NY every February for about nine years. A friend told us about the Greenwich Food and Cultural Tour so we decided to give it a try. What a good decision. Great food - fun people - and the history lesson was interesting and entertaining. Thank you to our tour guide, Marie. So much fun. An exceptional value. |

| We had a great time on our food and cultural tour. If it weren't for the cold it would have been perfect. I would recommend not going in the middle of winter as I did, but the tour guide was still extremely informational and peppy. She was well rounded in her knowledge of the subject matter, and had personal tips that were useful as well. We loved the tour, and we plan to go again in the spring. |

| I took my mother on this food tour and we were pleasantly surprised that it was much more than just a food tour. It was really a history lesson on the village. We both live uptown and don't know Greenwich Village well enough to really take advantage of its amenities. Our guide was very knowledgeable about not only the specific food, but the community, the history, the architecture, and the local establishments.
I was impressed with the amount of food we were offered! I was expecting a few bites here and there, but I left full as thanksgiving dinner! Having the directory at the start of the tour was helpful because we marked off places and made comments as we went along to help us remember on a future trip. Despite the cold weather, we really enjoyed ourselves.
If I could make a couple suggestions to improve the tour, it would have been nice to get time throughout the tour to actually purchase items at the shops. I know the tour is 2.5 hours, but if there is a way to bake in an extra 20 minutes to allow the group to shop, it would have really added to the experience. I could have brought home the experience to my wife! I guess I'll just have to go back on my own time - which I suppose is the point!
I really appreciated the history lesson too. Just last night I was out to dinner with friends and impressed them all with some fun facts about the village! |
