| Curt was a wonderful guide and very entertaining. My mom is over 60 and loved him. She thought he was great. I am from Atlanta and have done the Greenwich Village tour twice. Your tours are very entertaining and a break from the ordinary. The Chelsea Market tour was great. The food portions were very large and the different types of food were great. We have said on all occasions that your tours are the best part of our vacation (next to Canal street, just kidding). Thanks. I hope you have another new one next time I visit the Big Apple. | ||||||

| This was my second time on the tour. Both Michael and Jennie are fantastic. Michael appealed to the history nerd in me and Jennie's knowledge and zeal for food are unrivaled! I've recommended the tour to many! | ||||||

| My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed the Greenwich Food Tour and have recommended it to everyone we have spoken with since the tour. Our guide, Jenny, was very knowledgeable and quite personable. Neither of us were aware of the interesting history of the Greenwich area. | ||||||

| I had taken the tour a few years ago, but my daughter just moved there and I wanted her to learn more about the area. We both had a great time, Some of the places were different than before but it is awesome how long some of these establishmentrs have been around. We felt privileged to know where the locals go! I have also done the Meatpacking tour.. Both are very enlightening and a great view into an area missed by so many tourists. | ||||||

Very Disappointing

| Aside from the tour, we want to compliment our tour guide, Jenny. She was very pleasant, energenic, enthusiastic and very knowledgable about Greenwich Village. She deserves a 10. To call this a "food" tour is very misleading. Perhaps it should be called a "history" tour with food samples along the way. Our group felt that we spent $40.00 for a slice of pizza, pastry and cheese samples. Too much money for too little "samples." We would not recommend this tour to our friends. Sorry....thumbs down from Maryland. | ||||||

| My sister, sister-in-law and I surprised my Mom for her 60th birthday with this tour. The leader was personable and extremely knowledgeable about the area and the food. For our family it was a great fit. We all have children under age 6 so it made for a a very different afternoon to be able to get lost in all the history and enjoy the food. My Mom also has taken advantage of many of NYC's major attractions and we managed to impress her with something she'd never done. The food was great and the history lesson was even better. | ||||||

| We both highly enjoyed the tour. I am a freelance food writer, so I signed up to taste all the goodies at Chelsea Market. The food was excellent, and so plentiful that I had to start rationing it! My boyfriend loves facts and history and he enjoyed the food as well as the many myriad details about the market itself and the surrounding neighborhood. Three hours into the tour, we were still interested and as enthusiastic as we were at the start. Highly recommended! | ||||||

| Our group thoroughly enjoyed the tasting and walking tour. Our tour guide was well informed, very friendly and very enthusiastic about the area. We learned about the ethnic influence and foods and the history of the area. The food was plentiful and very good. We enjoyed it so much that we want to take the Grenwich Village tour when we return to NYC. | ||||||

| First, I rarely do reviews - and even more rarely go on tours when I travel, feeling they often blast through well known parts of a city, giving only surface detail at best. This is not the case here, and the reason I'm writing this review. I was thoroughly impressed with both the content of the tour and it's layout - I never felt like we were rushed, and the order in which we tasted foods made sense for the time of day. Todd is incredibly knowledgable, with a great sense of humor, and willing to answer all questions. He clearly has a passion for NYC and for these areas specifically, and of course, food! I had visited NYC before, but hadn't spent much time in Chelsea/Meatpacking District so thought this would be a great way to get acquainted. This tour went beyond my expectations on every level - and seeing these areas just added more items to my list of things I love about new york. I can't recommend this tour highly enough. Best $40 I spent in NYC on this trip, hands down. Thanks! | ||||||

| We enjoyed this tour very much. There were 7 of us in the group and we especially enjoyed the market. Of course, most of us have watched the food channel, and look forward to seeing more of the food channel since we have been to the market. I am sure the Meatpacking area will improve as changes are made. We also went on the Greenwich tour several months ago, and that had more to offer as far as restaurants were concerned. However, we would recommend both tours, and have done so. No one has been disappointed. Jean Cantwell | ||||||

| My daughter and I loved the hours we spent with Mike. He taught us so much that we will use on future visits, was delightfully informative, enthusiastic, knowledgable, and paid constant personal attention to the members of the group. I wish there had been more opportuniities to sit down occasionally, but maybe that is because I am older than the average participant. I would now like to take the Chelsea tour. | ||||||

Great History, good food

| The tour was more of a historical and cultural overview of the Village as opposed to just a food tour. We enjoyed Mike our guide - he lived in the Village and great insight and anecdotes. The food was good - there could have been more of it. Also we didn't find that the food provided was unique or above and beyond what we normally enjoy. We did return to the Village for dinner the next day but went to a restaurant not on the tour. Overall I would recommend for those looking to glimpse a part of New York you may not be familiar with. | ||||||

| Our tour guide was Curt, a pleasant surprise to find he was Canadian. He was informative, knowledable. We learned much about the area & local history. It was so much more enjoyable having him give us details about an area that we were unfamiiar with. We enjoyed our tour so much that we booked the Greenwich tour also. I would highly recommend this tour to all, and have already done so to friends travelling there in a few months. Congratulations to you at foodsofny. June Knowles. | ||||||
