A taste of true NYC flavor, village style

This tour will help you sample the fine food and fun character of a New York City village. The guides are in no hurry to chase you away, but rather would love to have you stay and visit. What a charming experience for all ages. Do be sure to wear comfortable shoes and prepare for the weather.

Pretty Good

I would have liked to know a little bit more about the history of the village. The turbulent 1960's was just marginally touched on and that only after I asked about it.

One of my best memories of NYC
Wed, Apr 30  11:30 AM BStull Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
The Greenwich tour will always be one of my best memories of NYC. I've been to NYC many times but never thought to take a walking tour. I took this one because I wanted to learn about Greenwich Village from someone who really knew the area. The price was worth it and the description of the tour was just what I was looking for. I would definitely recommend this tour to others. Cindy, our tour guide, was wonderful.....entertaining, knowledgeable, and fun. The 3 hour walking and stopping to eat pace was just right. Samples were excellent....fabulous pizza, cheeses, olives, bread, warm chocolate chip cookies, dumplings, etc. I was full when we finished. Cindy had some great stories to tell and knew the history and people of the area which made the tour all the more interesting and fun. There were even stops for bathroom breaks! The handy booklet we received at the beginning of the tour was very helpful as it provided descriptions of recommended restaurants and shops along the way with some handy coupons. Loved the fact that many of these restaurants had reasonable prices!

Loads of fun

The tour was excellent. The food was great but it also provided lots of great historical info about New York as well as a good overview of the neighborhood and recommendations on where to go and eat. It would be a shame to come to this amazing city and eat at places mediocre places like Applebees or TGI Friday's when there are so many fantastic options available.

Great learning experience and great food, too!!!!!
Wed, Apr 30  11:00 AM danaelm Female 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
Barry was very informative and entertaining while feeding us wonderful FULL SIZED samples from selected eateries in Greenwich Village. We learned the history and architecture and culture in the area and saw many "off the beaten path" places that we would never have seen otherwise. It was a wonderful three hour experience. We returned to Greenwich village later in the week to revisit those wonderful cookies and brownies from Milk and Cookies. Also enjoyed the rice balls for the Italian deli again. You get a lot for the your money on this tour and we highly recommend this experience to anyone as it is a very intimate way to learn about Greenwich Village.

A Treasure of an outing!
Wed, Apr 30  11:00 AM desertbloom8 Female 20-29 Local Couple on a Date
My fiance and I really enjoyed the tour, the tastings, and our guides. We were so happy as locals to find so many great restaurant and cultural gems in our city that we can revisit. We were very impressed with the extensive knowledge that both our guides had. We did love the two pizzas we tried, but I do wish that we could've tried a different fare instead of two pizzas. Other than that the whole tour was AMAZING.

A shallow food tour but fun to do once
Wed, Apr 30  11:00 AM landis Female 40-49 Local Group of Friends
I thought the tour was fine for the price. I was impressed with the architectural information provided by the guides. We had to stand in the street at many of the stops so I wouldn't recommend doing this in the rain or in winter. We ate pizza at two diffferent establishments and neither were all that good so I felt as if the food part was uninteresting. It would seem there would be more specialties to taste. However we did learn some lovely places to go back and explore in Grenwich and the tour provided me with a new feeling about the beauty and history of that area. My strongest comment regarding the guide's patter is that she really focussed in on the price of each building or the rental cost. I felt it was an odd viewpoint to take and truly worth one mention but not six mentions.

Who doesn't like to eat?
Mon, Apr 28  11:30 AM cal2ny1 Unspecified 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Unspecified
Loved the tour. Bought at the stores after the tour with the discount they provided tour members so our NY hosts could also enjoy the wonderful food. Now we are continuing to order via the internet with our discount so we can share the great food with our California neighbors. Who doesn't like to eat? We are already planning to take some of the other tours on future trips to NY. Keep up the good work.

This was the best thing we did while in New York. I would highly recommend this to everyone. Our tour guide Barri was excellent. We enjoyed the food and the culture information of Greenwich Village. When we come back to New York we plan on doing the Soho tour, and others. Dennis and Jill

Michael made the tour!
Sun, Apr 27  12:00 PM tsconrad Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Our tour guide, Michael was an enthusiastic ambassador for the Greenwich Village community. He made a point of sharing his local point of view with us on the tour. He pointed out interesting pieces of history that none of us would have known about otherwise. Who knew we were going to get a historical and cultural experience on a 'food tour'! That was a great surprise for us! We thoroughly enjoyed the food experiences but the rest of the information that we learned was such a bonus! We are planning to return to the city in December and are definitely going to sign up for another tour!
