Really insightful tour of the village

| My boyfriend usually hates tours but even he agreed that this was the best thing we did in New York. The tour weaves its way around Greenwich Village, diving into a patisserie here and a restaurant there, with plenty of tastings (don't make the mistake of eating a large breakfast beforehand or you will struggle!). Our amiable tour guide, Todd, was very knowledgeable about the area as well as the food. Unlike some of the bus tours that we did, this tour doesn't merely point out obvious landmarks but takes you to some places that you could easily walk past without a second thought, if you didn't know what they were. My favourite place was the Speakeasy with its fake bookcase that swings open if you need to escape in a hurry. You also get a very useful map and write-up of the places you've seen, so you can pop back later (as we did) to one of the restaurants. The only thing I wouldn't recommend is the free wine tasting you can do afterwards. New York wines are a bit like English wines... Don't be put off by that though (it isn't part of the tour) - this tour is really good value for money. | ||||||

| My wife and I just completed our visit to NYC, and in the last minute decided to take a walking food and culture tour of the village. Our guide Todd, was very knowledgeable of the area and of the local culture. The food we tried was excellent and we would recommend this tour to anyone. For us this was the 3 hours was better spent then going to Ms. Liberty.. Perry & LeAnn | ||||||

| Our tour guide was very informative and gave us lots of great historical information. The food samples were delicious and we had plenty to eat! I would go again to another one of your tours. We had a great time! I would recommend that your tours are not for any handicap persons, as I purchased some tickets for my elderly parents and they could not attend but would also not been able to do all of the walking and standing. thanks again for a great time! | ||||||

| We spend a fantastic few hours with this very informative tour. It really was the highlight of our trip. We couldn't recommend it more and hope to do the Chelsea/Meatpacking tour next. We especially liked the free coupon to Vintage Wine for the tasting, which was included in the tour. You feel like an insider, a local! | ||||||

Best Tour for our Weekend
|

| Kurt was incredible. My boyfriend and I did three tours during our time in New York and this was by far the best of them all. If given the chance to do it again we would in a heartbeat. My suggestion, do the tour early in your trip so you have the opportunity to go back and spend more time in Greenwich. Perfect balance of history and culture with more than enough tastie treats. They were also really good to work around dietary restrictions. Next time we are in town we will do this tour again, and we are looking forward to the Meat Packing tour as well. | ||||||

A fun-filled day

| My friend and I (both residents of Great Neck, New York) thoroughly enjoyed the Greenwich Village tour. Our guide was a young man named Kurt (he was friendly, funny, courteous and knowledgeable). In fact, based on how much we enjoyed this tour, we are looking forward to taking the Chelsea Market tour ... and we are planning to ask for Kurt again! We learned so much about Greenwich Village and saw places we would never have found on our own. I am also planning on giving my son and daughter-in-law (who live in Boston) a gift of this tour next time they are in town. I've already been recommending it to friends! | ||||||

| A wealth of local knowledge about Greenwich Village and the local establishments. Tastings were substantial and delicious. Rocco' s has the best cannelloni you wil EVER have! I enjoyed it so much I returned to eat and shop the following day. I have already recommended this to friends. | ||||||

Guide far superior to guides in other tours

| The tour started on time, the participants were perfect for this type of event--congenial and anxious to be involved. Guide was most effective in taking charge, Let us know where she'd be, where to meet, how many minutes she'd be gone. Well planned and executed. The tour dropped to almost zero when we went out of the facility. Altho much of the first portion (shops and future shops) was interesting, the stop at the bar was a real turnoff. It was dirty dark and filled me with revulsion. Could have had a more upbeat finale to such a wonderful day. I have told many people about the tour and suggested they try it when in New York. | ||||||

A lot of fun

| We loved this tour. You'd never get a chance to try all this good food on your own. We're not usually a big fan of organized tours but this one is well worth it. My only complaint would be that they cram a lot into the 3 hours. It would be better if you could see the same stuff but over 3 1/2 to 4 instead of feeling so rushed... but if you can get pas that and you love good food....don't miss this one next time your in NYC | ||||||

| This was a lovely way to see and learn more about a little piece of New York which has so much character and charm. Our guide, Kurt, was both friendly and knowledgable about the area, pointing out the best places to eat. There was also plenty to eat during the tour, ranging from pizza to canoli, which kept our stomachs full while we strolled around. During our stay, we tried two of the recommended restaurants and both were excellent. | ||||||

| A wonderfully enjoyable way to learn about Chelsea Market and the meat pack ing district of NY which is quickly changing into a mecca. Our guide was very polite, upbeat, and informative. I have already recommended this tour to others. | ||||||

Fascinating

| The Chelsea Market was a unique experience that involved all our senses. We were truly led to all the right places and learned unique information about the location, vendors, spaces, neighborhood. I would however suggest the tour guide take less time to inject her own perceptions and opinions about the local economy, growth, tennants, etc. I believe many of her remarks were not true, biased, and uncalled for. I believe she misled many of the domestic/international tourists regarding reputation, importance, and relevance to many situations. But the food portion was incredible. How lucky you are to have the Market in your town. Thanks | ||||||

| This was the highlight of our 4 day visit. Our guide, Rebecca, was excellent and gave us a great glimpse into a wonderful neighborhood in New York. I will definitely recommend this tour (and Rebecca) to others. Great mix of food, history and little tidbits of New York trivia. | ||||||
