Marie is great
Mon, Jul 14, 08   12:30 PM alholliday Male 70+ Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
Marie--heard her name but do not know the spelling--was outstanding. Her knowlege of the area and background details came through well. and she loves her work....Need to give her a raise soon! And her enthusiasm is exceptional. Do how wear her our with too many of the same tours too close together, so she can keep fresh.........Members of the group picked up her enthusiam and were friendly to each other and with me, (as I was the late arrival, having just trained in from Pennsylvania.) Would hope for such a guide in Pennsylvania sites. Can highly recommend her....but do not extend this comment to apply to your whole staff, as I have not heard/met anyone else with your firm. al holliday in Camp Hill Pa

Great Day in the City

This is not my first time with my son in NYC, so I was at a lost for something to do that would both interest him and myself. Mix any 16 year old boy with food and usually it is a big hit and it was. Although the tour was longer than we expected, the time flew as we learned about all the great spots in Greenwich Village. I can't wait for our next tour with FoodTours.

I was hesitant to bring my 14 year old granddaughter but she and I both thoroughly enjoyed it.My son lives in NYC so I suggested it to him for visiting company.

A NYC Must-Do!!

My husband & I just returned from our first ever trip to NYC. We took the Greenwich Village tour on Monday, July 14th. Ed was our tour guide and he was fantastic! As a native New Yorker, he was very knowledgeable about the food, history, architecture, and culture of the area. The foods that we tasted were fabulous! Our young son was amazed when we later told him that we'd eaten pizza from the pizza place featured in the "Spiderman 2" movie! We loved that the foods we sampled were specialties of the Village -- the cheeses, pizza, olive oils, and -oh my gosh! - the cannollis!! We were able to see a wholly unique side of New York that is so different from the overcrowded, touristy Times Square area. We would have never found these places on our own on our first trip. But now that we know about them, we plan to come back on our next visit! The food quantity was enough to satisfy me for lunch. My husband wanted a bit more, so we went back for more pizza and another cannolli after the tour. We also used our discount coupon from the neighborhood guide given to us to order some extra virgin olive oil and aged balsamic vinegar. There's nowhere in East Tennessee to buy oils of that quality! We highly recommend the food and culture tour! It was one of the great highlights of our trip! We'd love to do the Chelsea tour next time!

Fabulous Tour!!!

We celebrated my daughter's 21st birthday in New York and this tour was the VERY best of everything we did while in the city for 6 days. I hope to bring back my husband for the tour!! It was so much more than food tasting. It was a taste of the real New York!!

It has been along time since I have enjoyed a tour as much as I have on this one. I loved learning about the foods, and history in the surrounding area. we would highly recommend this walking tour. My daughter who lives in New York is now going to take the tour. Thank you to Cindy , our guide, for an entertaining afternoon.

Excellent time!
Sun, Jul 13, 08   11:30 AM laurakim Female 20-29 Local Couple on a Date
My boyfriend got these tickets for part of my birthday gift as he had already heard great things about it. We recently went and had a marvelous time. Our tour guide was so great with the cultural stories of NY he told and the food was delicious (we are actually checking out dome of the restaurants mentioned on the tour this weekend!) I am originally from Long Island (as well as my boyfriend) and we both learned so much about NY. I definitely recommend this to anyone and everyone!

A new perspective on our own backyard
Sat, Jul 12, 08   1:00 PM JUDIT1 Female 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
I gave my husband a certificate for the Greenwich tour for Father's Day. I thought It looked interesting and would be something different to do. It fully met our greatest expectations. We have both lived in New York all our lives. After taking the tour we were able to view Greenwich Village in a much broader perspective. Our tour guide presented it as a neighborhood as well as an arts community. The food was delicious and plentiful. We thought we would stay in the city for dinner but neither of us were hungry. We are looking forward to returning to the village and revisiting some of the shops and restaurants we learned about. Great experience!

The activity was not flexible or changeable

I booked 3 tickets to the 1:00p.m. Saturday tour 7/12. I was traveling from Indiana to New York city on vacation & was delayed 4 hours at the airport. I left a message at 9:00a.m. on Saturday to let the group know I would not be arriving in time to make the tour. The only option I was given was to buy 2 more tickets & get one free (another investment of $84.00 on top of the $110.00 I had already spent) I believe this is inflexible. I will not use the service again.
