Tour "OK" but not "Recommended!"

| There were a group of nine of us who decided to do the tour in Chelsea this year. Last year many of the women went to the tour in the Village and loved it. I lived in Chelsea for a few years and thought I'd see a lot of new things I haven't experienced, however, the entire tour was based in the Chelsea Market which is not very clear on the Website. Then when you leave the market you get to see three restaurants - but the two best ones you don't even get to have a tasting at their establishment. However, my biggest complaint was our tour guide. I thought she was rude and extremely unprofessional. Her comments and remarks could have easily offended someone, however, I married a New York boy so I'm used to it. When I asked a simple question of wanting to know where we would be visiting today - she had a tone and was extremely rude!!! To be honest, I could have given the tour much better and I would have been so much more polite and 'at ease' than she was. You could barely get her to give us enough time to take a picture - and all we wanted was a relaxing day - not a rushed one....very disappointed. Sharon | ||||||

| Take a step back in time, sample the "best of New York," and learn the secrets that even New Yorker's don't know. Our guide was delightful. I will certainly visit these establishments again! | ||||||

| I've lived in NJ my entire life, but the most I've ever done in the Village was come in, maybe eat at one place, and then leave. This opened my eyes to parts I've never seen and would have never known to stroll through. I felt like I was in a small historic town far away. Also, with SO many places to eat in NYC, choosing one is difficult, and often after spending so much time choosing one, does not live up to expectations. Taking this tour I learned about the places where we tasted, as well as many other places to add to the list as well. It's nice to learn about the history of the place, the history of the chef, and the philosophy of the restaurant. No online reviews ever give that much information. Most importantly, tasting the food was excellent. There was no delay, and the eating was spaced out perfectly. It varied from pizza to dessert to appetizer, etc.... so it was never too much of one thing. The food was superb, and the portions generous. I am a hungry person and I left the tour feeling satisfied - not hungry, not full: just right. Our tour guide was bright and friendly and full of excitement and personal experiences. Moving large groups of people through the streets and stopping and listening went smoother than I ever thought possible. Never did we go too fast, too slow, and never could we not hear her or get close enough. Overall - I'd recommend this to everyone who comes to NYC - it's more than you'll ever learn even if you are local, and it's a great alternative to the touristy midtown features for tourists. And best of all, you don't go hungry! | ||||||

| Curt made the event. He was outstanding. Very personal. Very Knowledegable. Good sense of humor and energetic. You get more food than on the Grenwich tour and it's all good. You learn a lot about the area too. | ||||||

| I had been on NYC tours before and thought it would be tough to be as good as the last but this was really a GREAT tour. Susan the guide was very good at making everyone feel comfortable. Her passion for the tour and her knowledge of the area and it's history made this one of the best tours that I had ever been on in the city! The choice of food was diverse and very exciting. The length of the tour was perfect and the volume of food was tremendous. Oh I forgot...it really speaks volumes that I had such a great time and it was a crapy raining day!....We got beyond the weather and had tons of fun! | ||||||

| Really enjoyed the variety of places we went. The food was great. The guide, Susan, was very infomative and a pleasure to listen to. This is one of the best food tours I've ever taken. Plenty of food. Actually a bit too much, I was stuffed! | ||||||

| This tour was exactly what we were looking for....an insiders perspective on places to eat other than big name chef restaurants that leave you wondering what you missed while having dinner at said restaurant. The guide was insightful and well versed in the area and provided an enjoyable dialogue. We will be taking one of the other tours that are offered our next trip to the city.Thanks | ||||||

| Even a rainy day did not dampen the wonderful time my son and I had. The tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable, well-spoken and considerate of everyone in the group. She was consciencious about safety and keeping the group together at all times while also making us aware of not blocking sidewalks or entries to businesses. The history of the area was fascinating with many interesting details. The food tastings came from the most wonderful places. There was great variety, everything was fresh and delicious, and they were more than just tastings. We certainly did not go away hungry. I have already recommended this tour to friends and I look forward to trying the other Foods of New York tours. I also look forward to returning to this area and to the many wonderful establishments we visited. | ||||||

| I loved this tour so much that I am definitely going to go on all the rest. It really made me fall in love with the city. The food was delicious, our guide was authentic and knowledgeable. The mood was relaxed and the group was nice and small so you don't feel like too much of a tourist. I went with friends both from out of town and New Yorkers and everyone learned new things and enjoyed themselves. I absolutely loved it and it was WELL worth the money. I could've gone much longer than 3 hours! | ||||||

| Our group was very impressed with the tour, the guide and the food. We ended up going back to Bellavitae for dinner that night. I had the pork chop, some had the young chicken that was talked about during our tour stop. We are already planning which tour to take next time we are in the city. | ||||||

| Your food tour was great. My son lives in Manhattan and got some new ideas for eating out and fun in the Village. He and my sisters and I visiting, got great info, fab tastes, and lots of cultural insight of the area. Barri was our guide; she was knowledgable, organized, and articulate. Thanks for another great experience. This is the 4th tour we've taken over the years. We're never disappointed. | ||||||

| Even though it was a rainy Saturday afternoon - we had a great time on the Greenwich Village Food Tour. We sampled foods from 9 different places - with a great variety - specialty stores, bakeries, and restaurants. We also received info about many more area eateries and businesses. Our guide was great and really seemed to enjoy speaking about Greenwich Village and had great relationships with the businesses we visited. Next time I'm in NYC I will definitely be returning to Greenwich Village. | ||||||

| The guide was excellent...took care of everybody, gave interesting commentaries delivered with a clear, resonant voice. He appeared to have a genuine interest in his work and in the area and places we toured. There was a good balance between the food and culture aspects of the tour. The food was interesting. Next time I'm in NYC I would go back on my own to visit the food places we toured. | ||||||
