Foods of New York Tours

I've travel quite extensively, and have been on many, many excellent tours. However, I must say that this tour was the most enjoyable one I've ever taken. My husband and 9-year old son agree. The guide, Curt, was not only informative, but also extremely entertaining. He radiated enthusiasm, and demonstrated genuine interest and concern in others. He was OUTSTANDING, and took us to out-of-the-way places one might miss if venturing out on their own.

Cindy our guide was very funny and she gave the whole group such inside information about Chelsea Market and its history. She added a New York Flair that was very enjoyable. This was my husband's first trip to my hometown, Cindy's information gave him insight about New York that he fell in love with. He enjoyed the food and just the freshness that the market provided. We wished we had more time to stay in Chelsea but we had an appointment to go to immediately after the tour was over. Next time we are going to bring an extra suitcase to lug home the treasures we found. It provided a great time and wonderful food to try. Thanks!

What a fantastic tour! Curt, our guide, was very informative, and approached the tour with a very upbeat attitude that only added to the fun. The food was exceptional, and true to their word, we were not hungry at the close of the tour. Would highly recommend to any and all friends and family members. A very unique way to see New York! Whenever I am in New York, I will definately put it on my list of things to do!

This was a good time; an interesting mix of Greenwich Village history and some tasty eats along the way. My wife and I have lived in the city for 10 years, and both learned some new things about the city we call home, as well as tasting some yummy treats (esp the rice balls). My folks, who don't live in the city, had a great time and enjoyed it immensely.

The perfect experience. Very knowledgable tour guide. Food was delicious. The stories and tales of history were spun with enthusiasm and care. I would recommend this to all of my FOODY friends. Already have in fact. Great tour.

Eating your way through Greenwich is MY idea of fun! It provided very useful tips on nice, restaurants to go to when I am in NYC again. It was an informal and interesting way to see the sites as well.

Food was very good and the tour guide was knowledable and fun to be with. Lots of sights to see and things to taste.

The food tour was a great way to spend a Saturday! The food was fabulous and we had enough food so that we didn't have to eat lunch after the tour. Our guide was very knowledgable about the area and told many great stories. He knew many local people so we also got to hear stories from the those who have lived in the village for many years. We have already been recommending it to our friends!

This is a fantastic tour! A great introduction to one of the most distinctive New York neighborhoods. After visiting the "big city", it's great to get an intimate look at how some of the people actually live. Our guide was extremely personable, and provided insights that are simply unavailable any other way. My husband and I took this same tour a few years ago, and although the neighborhood was the same, the tour was completely different. Our first tour was during a weekday which permitted greater access to the interior of more stores. However, our guide for the second tour seemed to know more of the residents, and they were able to provide a greater insite into the uniqueness of the area. Some of the stores were the same, some different, a reflection of the constantly evolving neighborhood and tour evaluations. All in all, we'd certainly do it again, and we look forward to taking additional tours through this organization.

Suggestions: Making the tour a bit shorter (2.5 hours)

The 3 hour tour gave a really good introdcution to the Greenwich Village area and its culinary hidden secrets. It was at a good level for both the international and domestic visitor. We have already recommended it to our friends who are due to be in NYC within the next month.

I got these tickets on a whim very late at night for my birthday. But let me tell you what a wonderful time I had and to share it with my best friend was even special! I know I was going to be into it, but I was very doubtful about my friend. But she was so absorbed with the entire tour! The food was great! Our guide was Amy and she was so nice and so patient and very informative. She answered all our questions. You could really tell she loved walking with us. I would have never even knew about the Village in that way, if I had to just walk around on my own. It was so much fun! It was a bit cold, only cause it is still chilly weather but with all the walking and stopping into places did eventually warm us up! I give it a two thumbs up and plan on coming back next year! =)

This was the perfect activity to do late morning/early afternoon on a Saturday in New York! It was the perfect combination of food and fun history with a splash of architecture. Our tour guide was phenomenal (said that this was just her second tour - we thought she was a pro!) Perfect for all ages - a nice walk but definitely not overwhelming for older folks or people with children. This was FUN!

It was great! The guide was terrific, the tastings were interesting and I would reccommend the tour.

My husband and I really enjoyed this tour. I would suggest going at the beginning of your trip to NYC so that you can learn a lot about the area and revisit the places that they take you to.
