| We all had a wonderful time on this tour. Cindy was an amazing guide giving us lots of history and "insider info". We even got to thank the developer of the Chelsea market for doing such a good job with the building!! The tastings were delicious and varied and we were all stuffed when we left!!! Can't wait to do another tour (the next time of Greenwich Village)!! I will make sure to ask for Cindy as a guide!! As a veteren "foodie" I highly recommend this tour!!! | ||||||

| The tour was great! I travel a lot in the US and internationally and I thoroughly enjoyed this walking tour. The information, the guide, and the locale were interesting. I took the tour on my first full day in NYC and recommended it to people I met in the city. | ||||||

Greenwich Village Tour Was Much Better

| A few years ago I took the Greenwich Village tour and I was somewhat disappointed with this one. The food choices were not as varied - we ate a lot of bread. And when we sat down for a "feast," having lemonade (I think it was blueberry) was the absolute wrong choice to mix with olives, salami, cheese and marinated eggplant - the whole thing gave me heart burn!! On the Greenwich tour I remember eating from an Italian deli, bakery, chocolate place, pizzeria (which was absolutely delicious!!) and a Middle Eastern place. The choices on the Chelsea tour were flat and without the same quality. The Greenwich tour was a few years ago (probably 3) and I still remember the food and our wonderful tourguide (Zora). I doubt I'll have the same recollection of this tour 3 years later. The tour in the meat packing district itself was skimpy and with no food. We stopped in the new restaurant, Nero's, and it would have been more interesting if we could sample food there or at some other restaurant outside of Chelsea Market. Any thought to doing a wine tasting either in Chelsea Market at the wine place or one of the restaurants?? Don't know if there are legal issues but thought it might be worth looking in to. Overall, I think the concept of a Chelsea/MPD tour is good but the specifics need to be reevaluated. I would not recommend this tour to friends. I have recommended the Greenwich tour without reservation. | ||||||

Food and History

| My daughter and I had a great time on the foods of New York tour. We were both stuffed by the time we were done. The tidbits of information about Grenwich Village were just as tasty as the food. We returned the next night for a lovely dinner at Little Havana and dessert at Rocco's Pastries (and returned to Rocco's on our day of departure for tasty treats for the long flight home). This tour was recommended to me by one of my co-workers and I am very greatful to her for sugesting it. Susan Birnbaum led our tour and had us all hanging by her every word despite the heat of the day. I would (and will) recommend this tour to anyone. Kathryn Wafer California | ||||||

| I am local, but like exploring different areas of the city. I ran into a group taking this tour a few weeks ago and they said it was great, so when my mom and sister were coming in for the day, I decided to try it. We all had a great time, despite the heat. Our group leader, Susan, was very knowledgeable and made every stop interesting. The food was delicious and plentiful. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to explore the west village and also learn about good/fun places to eat. | ||||||

| May daughter who is a New Yorker and myself from out of town found this to be a delightful tour. We especially enjoyed the combination of historic details about the Village along with the tastings in the various shops. It is a wonderful way to get a feel for the village and all that it has to offer | ||||||

an Introduction to Inside Scoop on GV Culture

| Our group consisted of only eight persons which allowed for a more intimate interaction when traveling through the streets of Greenwich Village. Although we only covered about a ten block radius of space we learned much about the current and historical happenings in the area. I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in getting to know new york. | ||||||

| Well and interestingly run. Great food. Wonderful guide who obviously loves the area, is familar with a huge number of the residents and makes every effort to include them in a positive manner. I'd go again! | ||||||

3 hours & $38 well spent

| Our tour guide, Kurt, was delightful, knowledgeable, a just-right jokester, yet professional and obviously having fun. As a foodie and food writer, I thoroughly appreciated the variety of eateries and vendors that we visited. I'll be back one day with my husband. However, I think the sequencing of our samplings could have been better planned. To start off at 11am with pizza was OK, but to move on to a cannoli, then an "arancini" rice ball, chocolate-covered nuts and -- later cheese, bread & olives, a rich & sweet dessert, and finally (!) and thankfully, (should have been way before the sweets), Turkish lamb in a pita. Quite a "challenge" to my confused stomach on a very hot day. | ||||||

Great idea for spending few hours in the City.

| Our tour guide Kirt was informative and witty. He made it a fun three hours. We did visit some out of the way places that upon my return I will revisit again . I also saw some other spots that we did not visit but gave us the opportunity of knowing we would like to stop in next time for a meal.. The only different thing I would do next time is take the tour in the spring or fall when the weather is much cooler | ||||||

| Tour leader very knowledgeable of area and local good places to eat - unfortunately it was the most humid day of our week trip to New York. I would do this exact trip again but I'd do it the first day arriving in NYC and I'd spend an entire day in the Greenwich Village area shopping. | ||||||

| The tour of Greenwich Village was great. Not only was the food great, but the tour guide was also a real treat. His name was Michael and his knowledge about everything in NYC was unbelievable. He was wonderful! It was well worth the money, and really gave me an idea about what community and history of NYC is all about. I would definitely take this tour and would request to be on a tour where Michael was the tour guide. Great tour! | ||||||

| Our tour guide Mike was very knowledgable and a great tour guide. We did not know what to expect, but were delightfully suprised at how much we got out of the tour, being locals. Please check this tour out, a great activity for visiting family/friends. | ||||||

| This was a great way to spend a few hours of our weekend and worth every penny! Not only was the food tasting exceptional, the guide (Michael) was fantastic. We will definately go back to try some of the places on a full scale and to try other places at which we did not stop (but were told about by Michael). We would recommend this tour to everyone! | ||||||
