enlightening overview of greenwich
Fri, May 15  11:30 AM ValerieS Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
By the end of the tour we all felt sick from all the carbs, altho, we did enjoy every bite of it. It was my 2nd time and I did enjoy the 1st time better due to the guide. I would leave out Aphrodisia - too weird for most people. Maybe include some side street clothing, boutique shops? All in all, a very nice overview of Greenwich.

Rain no problem
Thu, Sep 14, 06   11:00 AM ValeriePerks Female 50-59 International Tourist(s) Group of Friends
We took the Greenwich Village tour on what turned out to be a very wet September day but the rain was only a very minor inconvenience as our guide knew every shelter along the way. The food was delicious and there was a good rapport between the guide and the businesses we visited - many of the host venues welcoming us in to sit although we had expected to eat stabding up. I would recommend the tour to anybody interested in getting an overview of the history and culture of the village while sampling more than generous tastings of the local specialities.

Tour of December 1, 2007
Sat, Dec 1, 07   12:30 PM ValerieHeist Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
The tour was really nice, as was the tour guide, Barri. Really enjoyed learning a bit about the history of Greenwich Village. I've recommended the tour to others already. Only one comment: The food provided on the tour, while tasty and of very good quality, was of a similar genre (eg: pizza, fried, high in fat). Perhaps a sampling of a less heavy dish could be substituted for one of the pizza slices, an italian soup or a salad for instance.

Great knowledge about the village, plus LOTS of tasty food. We were definitely full when we left. It's the third time I've done the tour and it is different and interesting every time.

Great value - fun for locals too
Tue, Sep 25, 07   12:00 PM valeriedt Female 50-59 Local Group of Friends
Our tour lasted almost 4 hours and every minute was interesting and/or delicious! We live in NJ but even though we are locals this was informative and interesting for us, as well as for the out-of-towners also on the tour. The guide was extremely well informed and had a great sense of humor too; probably the best guide I'd ever had. The time flew. It was a birthday gift for a friend and she loved it too. Would recommend it for any occasion and for everyone; makes me want to go back to the Village and revisit the stores and restaurants we saw.

Thoroughly enjoyable,

Could not have found all this out with just a guide book. We are likely to return to NY (sister-in-law now lives there) inside 6 months and will certainly take one of the other tours next time. With only 3 days and one set aside for the theatre we did not have the chance to eat at any of the recommended places - we would need the next 2-3 months to fit them all in. Our guide had a favourite item on the menu of every restaurant and you just wanted to go back. I wish they had similar tours in other cities.

We had a wonderful time on this tour of the Greenwich village. Its a three hour tour but we did'nt even notice the time. Our guide was very pleasant and funny. He gave us so much insight into the history and culture of the village, we sampled alot of delicious food from pizza to cheeses to chocolates to dona kebabs to olive oil from all the mom and pop restaurants in the area. IAfter the tour, we bought our supply of olive oil from O & Co and had gelato from a shop right next to Bleeker Street Pizza- delicious! Oh and the pizza from Bleeker Street Pizza which we had on the tour - hmmmm good!! This is a must do tour for those wanting to do something a little off the beaten path in NYC.

Great Way to Spend an Afternoon

What a great way to spend an afternoon. The food was excellent and the historical info was a great addition. If you are not familiar with the village this is a great way to get your bearings for future trips.

I enjoyed the tour
Sun, Apr 3, 05   11:30 AM uyterlinde Male 30-39 Unspecified Individual
I really liked the tour. eating, drinking and also the explanation of the chelsea market and meatpkng district. (like the high line, understanding between the meatpackers and prostitudes.... where was larry!!) the only thing I would change is the place to eat the dessert. Outside is not the place to eat dessert. (that's why it's 4 stars instead of 5) See you on the village tour!

Thumbs up!

The perfect mix of history, culture, and eating great food. Over the next 2 days we went back to 6 of the establishments recommended on the tour. All of them exceeded our expectations. Our tour guide Amy did an excellent job of educating us, feeding us, keeping us from getting run over.

Our guide was a very enthusiastic as well as entertaining. She provided us with a historical view into Greenwich Village that was very enlightening. We enjoyed the various food stops as well as samples provided there. All in all I would recommend this tour to anyone visting New York. It was intimate and like a fresh breath of air away from the busy traffic around Times Square and surrounding area.

An absolute treat!!! We really enjoyed our tour on Saturday, August 11 @ 12 noon. Our tour guide Bob is well educated on the history of the Chelsea Market and Meatpacking DIstrict. It would have been nice to meet a few of the owners of the various establishments we toured and/or meet someone at the management status. That would have been a nice added touch. I personally would have liked to have spent a little more time in a few key stops., i.e. Buon Italia. Overall we give the tour two thumbs up!!! We are making plans for our next trip to include one of the other culinary walking tours. THANK YOU!!!

Had a great time
Tue, Aug 28, 07   11:00 AM uniquelyrebe Female 30-39 Combination Family Without Children
I really had a great time. I would have liked a tasting at O & CO. Although we could have gone at the end by ourselves, I just think we needed one more tasting someplace along the tour. I went on the other tour you guys offer in the Meatpacking Dis. and I think I got more food on that one. My guests from London really enjoyed this tour. They had a great time. Thanks
