Good food, even better culture

| A freezing January day was warmed by our guide's enthusiastic manner. Me and my gf agree with other reviewers on the food half - a little unbalanced with mostly carb stuff and not really enough to keep you full for three hours. The bites we had were great, though, and the restaurant and food store recommendations were valuable for us out-of-towners (we returned to one restaurant and two stores, with satisfying results). But the cultural half was even better than we had expected. If you know New York inside out the information might be a little on the obvious side, but, again, as visitors we learned a lot about the history of Greenwich Village (that will make us a pain in dinner conversations from now on). | ||||||

Very food focused

| Just went on the tour this week. This was our second food tour in the US and it was by far the better of the two (other was in China Town in San Fran). There were numerous opportunities to sample foods and lots of info about the neighborhood and history of restaurants and the area. The only down side was there was quite a bit of stopping in front of restaurants and talking about their menu, but not going inside or learning anything else about it. This is great if you are staying in Greenwich Village and want to eat there several more times during your trip or are a local who can use this info, but otherwise, its a little bit of a waste. Overall, it was an excellent experience. | ||||||

| The walking tour was a great way to spend a mid- morning. The information given by our guide, Heather, was informative as well as interesting. All the street shops had a unique story of how the mom & pop stores struggled to survive through the years. The food was an extra bonus! Do this tour if you're looking for a good activity. | ||||||

| Recommend this tour on your 1st day, gives great tips for places to visit and eat. Gives a guide to local geography and the history behind the area. Our guide Cindy was great, high level of knowledge and very friendly. Again an excellent way to spend our first few hours in New York. | ||||||

| I planned an add-on day on a business conference to NYC and the Food Tour was the most anticipated event. I received the recommendation from a friend that had taken the tour previously and it definately lived up to the expectation. It was a great combination of food stops and cultural/historical facts about the area. The tour group as small enough to be manageable with a diverse group from around the US and Intl. The tour guide (Kurt) was enthusiastic, informative and best of all FUN! We ate at one of the restraunts on the tour that evening and had a fabulous dinner. My only regret is that we had the tour at the end of our trip as oppposed to the beginning as there were so many great places that we did not have time to re-visit. | ||||||

Enjoyed it, but...

| ...it was a cold day (lower 30s) and after hour 2 of 3 hit we were ready call it a day. Also a challenge was (almost) every store we went to on this Saturday was crowded, and that got old after a little while. On the positive side our guide was wonderful. Did a great job with explaining the history of a given building to describing a menu of a restaurant we would happen by. This also got us out of mid-town and into a different part of the city. If you are trying to fill in a 4 hour hole in your schedule and have already seen the Statue of Liberty, then I would suggest considering this if: a) it were during the week, and b) you can withstand the elements. | ||||||

an outstanding experience!

| We took the three-hour walking/tasting tour of Greenwich Village based on the suggestion of some friends in the large (200+) group of us from Dallas, rather unsure of what to expect. We were quite enthusiastically greeted by Mr. Curt Upton, who gave a very enjoyable tour. Curt was knowledgeable about the culture, history and customs of Greenwich Village as well as being very well informed about each food location that we visited. But beyond his script, Curt had worked at a restaurant in this area and had lived close by, so he knew many of the employees and locations on a more personal basis. Curt was friendly and was able to answer the many varied questions asked during the tour. He did a great job of keeping us on schedule and finished up right on time. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys good food and the fascinating history of this beautiful part of Manhattan! | ||||||

Take the tour the first day you are in NYC!

| Just got back from NYC and I highly recommend the Greenwich VIllage tour! As my husband was in business meetings during the days of our stay, I took this tour alone and did not feel akward in the group. The tour guide Curt was fantastic. He really took command of the group and set a snappy pace throughout the neighborhood. There was a mix of tastings, history, and local color. SInce it lasts 3 hours and there is a good bit of walking and listening, it would be best for anyone over the age of 10. If you take this tour at the beginning of your stay in NYC, you can revisit the establishments later and explore the area. | ||||||

| The olive oil store (O & Co) and the Thai restaurant (Lime) can be left out of the tour. Surely there are other restaurants that are a little more unique to Greenwich Village. But other than that, this was my second food tour and I still enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone! | ||||||
