These guys have their stuff together from start to finish. This isn't "just" a food tour. It's a cultural experience! The tour guides, in our case Cindy, are funny and informative. There's no way you can come away from a tour hungry. Can't wait to come back to NYC again! |

Another Great Food Tour

This was our third Food Tour, our first at Chelsea Market. Cindy was a wonderful guide, extremely knowledgable about the area and its history. She was also very personable, interacted well with all the tour members and the businesses we visited. Her manner, knowledge, and sense of humor made for a great tour. Most of this food tour was inside the Chelsea Market but we did tour the neighborhood for the last hour or so, on a really fantastic spring day.
I would recommend this tour to anyone, particularly those interested in the history of New York City, its people, its food. We learn new things on each tour, never come away hungry, and always enjoy the diverse samplings. Did you know that the Food Network films on one of the upper floors of the Chelsea Market? We didn't and now we do.
This tour was very easy to travel to, just off the West Side Drive. The parking mentioned in the directions on the e-ticket was very handy and inexpensive for NYC.
We loved it and will continue to experience all the Food Tours. |

Our group liked the tour itself where the different information on buildings was concerned, but the overall food part of the tour was unimpressive. Standing on the street and eating would not have been my first choice, and certainly spending time in a restaurant viewing the ceiling and not receiving a tasting was a waste of time.
Our tour guide was excellent, very informative, but I don't know that I would recommend this tour because it is not consistant to what friends at work had gone on.
We have done the Accomplice and totally enjoyed that, and would certainly try other tours, but would not lean toward a food tour again.
Thank you for an overall nice day. |

Fantastic Guide & Tour!

We loved our tour in Greenwich, great food and lots of entertaining information. We really felt that we knew the area by the end of the tour. So much so that we ended up spending a lot of our time while in NY discovering its restaurants and bars.
We loved the food at Centro, dinner and a fantastic Sunday brunch and 50% off wine on Monday's.
But most important was our guide, Sephra. She was smart and witty, kind and hilarious. We loved her and thought she made the tour. We'd love to request her for more tours, if only we could!
Sephra, you've got friends in Toronto, come and visit us!

We were so fortunate to have Safrah (I'm sorry for the spelling) as a tour guide. She was so funny and knew so much about the food and the history of the area. After spending 3 hours with her my sister and I both felt we had lived here all our lives! Her connections with local chefs allowed us access to their kitchens which was very cool. She also interacted with "the locals" in such a humourus manner. Besides seeing Pearl Jam twice this tour was the best part of our trip, and I am telling everyone in Saskatchewan to do it! |

Susan, our guide, was amazing - the food was excellent (in fact we went back to Bellavitae after trying their orgasmic ricotta cheese cake), the information about the area was very interesting - it was the best tour of any city I've ever been on. |

Something Different and Enjoyable

We decided to take the tour of Greenwich Village as we are "foodies" and thought it could be interesting. In fact it combined a tour of local restaurants and tastings of several food samples with a history of the Village. Our guide was an amusing and friendly young woman who had the group laughing and relaxed in no time and was very knowledgeable about her subject. Three hours of standing and walking with only one rest stop was a little tiring on a warm day, but we were glad we had taken the tour and had learned a lot about Greenwich Village, as well being introduced to some excellent food provedores on Bleeker Street. |

We booked the Central Village-Soho food walking tour, Rahim was our guide.
He was very charming, thorough knowledge of area and history.
He knows his food, we sampled some delicious cuisine from local
establishments and returned for dinner to 2 of the restaurants.
We were very happy with our afternoon, and were pleased to enjoy
2 fabulous meals during our adventure to New York City.
Thank you to Rahim for a lovely afternoon in the city. We want
to return and try out more tours if we are so lucky to do so.
Foodie alert.....you will love this. |

This tour was great. I planned it and was hopeful my friends would enjoy it. The food was great. Our guide, Heather, was exceptional and upbeat. I will def. rec. this tour againl.
Also, loved the food guide we received. It will be great for future trips to the city.
My friends really enjoyed the entire experience. |

This tour is amazingly fun! Walking through the quirky quaintness that makes up the Village was fantastic on its own, but the food was out of this world! Every dish we tried was incredibly delicious. Our tour guide even personalized the experience by congratulating us on our Honeymoon. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone in the NYC area--it was definitely the most fun, delicious, and interesting part of our vacation! |
