Great tips and treats!

We brought family from overseas on the tour and we all enjoyed walking around the village and stopping for something wonderful to eat along the way. As visitors from New Jersey, we not only enjoyed the day, we have learned about lots of wonderful new shops and restaurants as well as entertainment close to home. Can't wait to go back!

This was a wonderful tour with a very energetic host. It was an experience that provided new information for the city that we already love. I will definitely recommend this tour to everyone.

Fantastic tour, highly recommend

I took this tour on a rainy afternoon in late August, and there wasn't one single thing that I didn't like about it. The tour leader was knowledgeable, interesting, entertaining, enthusiastic, and friendly, and all the stops were GREAT. I was amazed at the amount of food served, as well -- I never expected to be skipping dinner that night, but I did. And each one of the food shops we visited were welcoming and delicious, as well as unique and informative to the Greenwich Village area. Our guide showed us interesting historical sites as well as food sites, and she basically presented a total immersion experience in Greenwich Village. I take walking tours in every city I visit (and I travel a LOT) and I would rate this tour right up there with the best I've been on.

There was so much that pleased the senses.

The food was interesting, varied and terrific. The guide and information he offered kept us involved. The variety of sights that we saw made us feel that we had a complete experience. My 88 year old mother said it was the best day she has had in a year..... and it was raining and windy that day. That says a lot!!!

Excellent insight to the food, culture and history
Thu, Aug 27  12:00 PM NYCfood2009 Female 40-49 Local Other
My 19 year old daughter and I chose this as our last hurrah of the summer. We both enjoyed it immensely. The tour covered a very diverse selection of food venues-restaurants, butcher, bakery, diff cultures etc. We will definitely go back to the restaurants for a full sit down meal soon. The guide was excellent; she relayed lots of interesting facts of history, culture and food . It is a great way to learn about a very interesting part of the city. Two thumbs up!

Greenwich Village /Soho Food Tour was Fabulous
Thu, Aug 27  12:00 PM Bettyckwoon Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
I have recently attended the Central Village and Soho Food Tour. I had already attended the original Greenwich Village tour two years previous and thought that was well done. The Greenwich Village/ Soho Food Tour is even BETTER.. We sampled a larger spectrum of diverse foods which included a spicy vegetarian Indian wrap , an Italian pasta bolognese (they make their own pasta even), empanadas and yucca ( similar to a potato)at a Cuban restaurant which is the best I have ever had, Italian pepper sausage from an Italian butcher ( I went back and actually bought some to take home), a tasty zuchinni parmesian pizza (fantastic crust), and a poached pear /hazelnut chocolate dessert tart( the grand finale well worth waiting for). Our guide, Susan, was very knowledgeable providing us with a bit of history and fun facts about the area. It was a great opportunity to experience foods that I would never have thought of trying. I would definitely take this tour again the next time I go back to New York.

informative & enjoyable!
Thu, Aug 27  12:00 PM cliffking Male 50-59 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Nancy our guide was fantastic. Very warm and friendly, yet she kept us on track and gave us a lot of information about the area. Her selection of restaurants and stores along with the food choices were great. The pace of the tour was good for both the family with children as well as the older folks. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get their bearings in Greenwich Village as well as finding out about some wonderful restaurants that you would normally not even consider. The tour was worth every penny. We are already looking for a tour to take next year on our 2010 sojourn to NYC.

We had a terrific time. Our guide was engaging, funny, and very knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the history of the area as well as its current inhabitants. Great value for the money.

Kurt, our guide, is THE BEST!
Thu, Aug 27  11:30 AM JohnLilly Male 40-49 Local Family With Children
Kurt spent a few minutes with each group and made sure to include people (in a nice, welcoming way) throughout the tour. He provided an excellent blend of culinary expertise, with local history and interesting background to make it a FUN, interesting adventure.

Must Do!!
Thu, Aug 27  11:00 AM AngieUCF4 Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
My husband and I took this tour while taking a trip to NYC. This was probably one of the best things we have ever done on a vacation. Not only do you get to taste great foods from Greenwich Village, you also learn about the history of it and visit some beautiful areas. We went back two other nights to places that were recommended during the tour. This is a must do!

Fun, Filling and Informational
Thu, Aug 27  11:00 AM doreeng Female 50-59 Local Group of Friends
Living on Long Island my entire life and of course, frequently going to NYC, I never realized this jewel of an area existed in the Village. I sometimes could not believe we were in the city at all. All of the area foods were delicious and wonderfully presented. Our tour guide was well informed and kept our interest the whole time. What a uniquely delightful experience.

Worth every penny.
Wed, Aug 26  11:00 AM casserole Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
I recently have done 2 food tours through this company, the first was one in Chicago and this was the 2nd. Both were extremely excellent tours and I would recommend these to anyone who is willing to sample something new. The tour is 3 hrs long and is all walking, but you are constantly either eating or learning about the city around you. The tour guides are excellent and very enthusiastic. The tour is very intimate and they make a point of individually interacting with everyone on the tour. The main difference between the two tours was the amount of food. You are given whole servings and meals, but the Greenwich tour has a lot more little places, ie you sample cheese, cookies and candies. It is also more spread out through the tour and is very well paced. You feel full at the end, but it's a comfortable, content fullness. :) I will be taking these again when I travel to another city.

Awesome Tour Delicious and fun!
Wed, Aug 26  11:00 AM WilliamDuB Male 40-49 Local Group of Friends
My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Greenwich Village. Our tour guide, Kirk, made the tour lots of fun with his enthusiasm and his accute knowledge of all the little "secret spots". The food tastings were awesomely good and the samples were more then adequate' as most of us were busting by the end of the tour wondering if we could eat another thing! While I had been in Greenwich Village many times before this was like seeing it for the first time. Don't miss this tour, and definately see if Kirk can be your guide. He is as much fun as the tour with his humourous comments and quips.
