I highly recommend this activity for anyone visiting New York. I have been to NY several times before, but never made it to GV before. I will now put it on my list as a must when I return. Our guide, Cindy, was great. I learned a lot and was fed a lot. Yum. Yum.

I just loved the tour of Greenwich village. Our guide brought the place to life. She gave us a brilliant potted history of not only Greenwhich but placed it in the bigger context of the development of New York. The food stops were marvellous. The staff welcomed us all and seemed delighted to share their specialities. There was no pressure put on us to buy which was gratifying. Delighted!!! Sighle (Dublin)

Between the wonderful weather, wonderful tour guide and wonderful food stops, this was the one of the best high lights of our 4 day weekend. no need to eat before or after-plenty of fabulous food to be had. really enjoyed the historic info as well.

Our tour guide was very enthusastic and we had a wonderful time. We are a group of friends, who get together once a month to do something special, and we cannot wait until next year to book another food tour. Thank you for a great experience!

Well worth the time and money

It was a lovely way to meet people in a small group (15 or so), to stroll the quaint and charming streets learning about the history, the architecture and the famous members of the Beat Generation who inhabited Greenwich Village, and to taste the delicious foods available in the neighbourhood. The list of excellent, affordable restaurants will be of great help the next time I visit N.Y. It was also helpful to know about the affordable off-off-Broadway shows performed there. In all, a lovely way to spend three hours.

We loved our Greenwich food tour with Sephra. She was so knowledgable about the culinary arts, the neighborhood and made the tour so much more enjoyable. The selection of food was great and so filling. I couldn't believe how much food we ate in a few hours. The walk was reasonable with lots of stops to rest and/or go to the restroom. Perfect tour!

Being my first time in New York, it was quite an experience. The tour was quite informative in the history of food in this neighborhood and the culture of the place. The food was excellent. I wish we could enter each restaurant and look at the menus. The timing of the food sampling was a little off I think. We tasted two right away at the start of the tour then went for hours without anything. Then at the end, we tasted four items pretty much consecutively. If the food tasting could be spread out more evenly, that would be nice.

Anyone interested in food and cultures that has more than a couple days in New York should make this tour a priority.

myself and a friend came on the greenwich village tour, after a friend recommended it. we had a great time, and it was very worthwhile doing, not only to sample some great food but to listen to the guides' (Kurt) extensive knowledge on food and the general area.
