| Ed did a fabulous job navigating our group through the neighborhood. He provided a combination of history and entertainment. Each hosting location welcomed us and provided a delicious sample in a timely fashion. Ed reminded us to be courteous of the locals in the area and as such we encountered only the most positive of locals and tourists alike. This is the second time I have personally taken the tour and I will continue to recommend it to others. | ||||||

| I'm from Long Island and this was the first time in my life that I spent a day in Greenwich Village. I shared the day with my sisters and we had a fantastic day. Marie, our tour guide, was very informative. I never realized the history behind Greenwich Village. The homes were remarkable and the streets are so quaint. The shops and restaurants were great. My sister thought she died and went to heaven in the cheese shop! For me, it was the pizza.............molto delizioso!! | ||||||

| This was my second trip to New York City, but the first food tour. I saw this Food Tour on the Rachael Ray Show. My mother, my best friend, my grandmother and I took the food tour on the last day of our trip. My grandmother absolutely loved the historical aspect of the tour. We all enjoyed the food, it was delicious. The website was correct in stating that you probably would not need to eat. The tour guide was knowledgeable and funny and kept the tour from getting boring and stale. There were local people and people from across the country on our tour and they all seemed to learn something. I think even if you tried to do the food tour on your own, you would miss out on the "hidden" parts of Greenwich Village that you'd never see. We kept saying over and over on the ride home "It was WELL worth the $40!!!!" My grandmother even said she'd love to take the same tour again! | ||||||

| We both had a fantastic evening! Raheem was wonderful and really made this event worthwhile. He is extremely enthusiastic and knowledgeable and the sushi was delicious. I would definitely recommend this to anyone with an interest in learning about (or just eating) sushi. Thank you for a lovely time!! | ||||||

Nice way to spend an afternoon

| Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable; food samples were delish, especially the first one from the Indian bakery and the last one from the Greek yogurt joint. And the gnocchi at the Italian joint, where we were seated and the chef actually came out and gave us the recipe for the delicious pasta! That, more than anything, really made the tour special. We also enjoyed the bits of music/culture history, such as the stop at Bob Dylan's former home. Two thumbs up from these Southern Californians! Only nitpick: The peanut butter sandwiches, although delicious, weren't cut apart adequately and that sampling was a little difficult logistically since there was no place to sit down. | ||||||

Great combination of history and food!

| I highly recommend this tour as you will get to know the neighborhood alot better and actually know where to eat that isn't a tourist trap. I went back to at least two restaurants from the tour and had a full meal which was great. There is quite a bit of walking on the tour but anyone travelling in New York City realizes that you walk alot no matter what but they even provide you with a bottle of water. Our tour guide went to NYU and so you really get a 'feel' of his passion for this area of New York. Any 'foodie' would be crazy not to want to go on this tour. The best place had to be Monte's. The chef is amazing, and very approachable and humble. I would go on this tour again and again and even try the other tours that they have listed. I cannot recommend this place enough! Truly great!! | ||||||

| The tour was well paced lead by an impressive tour guide with an incredible nack for names. The only suggestion I would make is that the tour ended back at the market. If we had ended back at the market, I believe we would have made some purchases. Great day overall. | ||||||

| We signed up for the tour to celebrate my son's 16th birthday and we couldn't have had a better time. The tour guide was informative and friendly and the stops on the tour were delightful. The historic value and the tasty food made it an exceptional day. We left feeling very comfortable with the Village and will happily return. | ||||||

| Ed was great. He was very knowledgeable. Many times a tour guide will just recite the facts in a hurried manner because they have given the tour so many times but Ed was not like this at all. It was a great way to see a part of the city we would not otherwise have done. The price is very reasonable for 3 hours. | ||||||

Fabulous tour of the authentic Greenwich Village

| Our entire group really enjoyed our tour. We were taken to a very nice mixture of restaurants, stores, and historical sites. We enjoyed the historical information on the buildings and life in Greenwich Village, as well as the variety of food served at the various stops. The tour took us to authentic stops, not tourist-y places, which gave a great feel of the authentic Village. Our tour guide was very knowledgable and friendly, and was willing to answer any questions we had. We really appreciated the pamphlet we were given, containing all the names, locations, and vital information of all the stops we made, as well as some we passed by. We'll be sure to use this when we come back! Our only caveat was that one of our group members did not realize that this was explicitly a *tasting* tour; perhaps this could be better advertised on the website. Overall, the experience was very enjoyable and interesting. We would strongly consider taking another of their tours. | ||||||

| We really enjoyed the tour. The food was diversified, and generous!! Our tour guide was very informed with Greenwhich Village and its history. I learned many things about architecture, living conditions and just 'how it was back in history in Greenwhich". We returned to some of the stores for after tour purchases and most stores offered a discount.(10%) We wanted to return to one or two of the restaurants for a dining experience, but we ran out of time!! A great experience and one I would highly reccommend - especially at the beginning of your visit to help you get your bearings and ensure that you can plan your schedule to spend more time in this quaint area of New York | ||||||

| What a great way to spend 3 hours in NYC. We met some very nice people in tour group. Marie was a wonderful tour guide, knowledgeble & personable. Where else can you get a walking tour around the village, a history lesson, with a variety and plenty of delicious food to sample along the way? The weather was perfect. All of us thoroughly enjoyed it. We ended up having a terrific dinner at one the restaurants we stopped in during the tour. Marie also pointed out the coupons we had in our booklet - so we used the one for a free wine tasting at Vintage in SoHo. Highly recommend this tour. | ||||||
