| This was an awesome tour - well worth the money. My husband was apprehensive, because he was only one of three guys, but thoroughly enjoyed himself! The food was tasty and the info. about the Chelsea Market and surroundings was very interesting. I enjoyed learning about the backgrounds of the store's owners, as well. Kurt, our tour guide, did a great job. He was informative and very witty. I definitely want to go again and would request him! Only thing - wish there were more bathroom facilities on the tour - but it does not deter me from taking it again!!! Lani Nantz lbnantz@aol.com | ||||||

| Took my mother and four aunts and they had a wonderful time. We also had great weather though...don't think it would be as great if it is a bad weather day!!! Lived in NYC and went to school there but still was shown some neat places that I didn't know and our guide Michael was excellent. Enjoyed hearing the history along with the food! | ||||||

| The four in my group all really enjoyed the adventure. Our guide, Chad was very informative of the area as well as the places we stopped to have a sample. We enjoyed the tour so much that when I return in July with family, we are going to tour the Greenwich Village site. Can't wait. Thanks for a great tour Chad. Saturday May 21 @ 11:00.

| My daughter and I enjoyed the tour very much. Mike's knowledge and enthusiasm for the area was evident and made the tour very worthwhile. I was not particularly interested in the aromatherapy store, but liked all the tastings. | ||||||

| Our group was very impressed by the knowledge and enthusiam shared by our guide, Todd. The merchants we visited were all very hospitable and allowed us access to their prep areas. We were able to return , make several purchases and have dinner at Frank's Steakhouse - it was excellent. Thanks. | ||||||

| The food we tasted was very good, but I would have liked to sample additional choices. Our tour guide (Curt), although not a native New Yorker, was excellent , and very well informed. His presentation was humorous, enthusiastic and interesting. As a lifelong New Yorker I appreciated all three. | ||||||

| Let me start by saying that I love everything about NYC and have come back often--for the last 52 years. I try to take at least one walking tour each time I visit... I feel it is the best way to really get to know & feel the particular area. This Chelsea/Meatpacking Tour was wonderful. Our tour guide was great--he was enthusiastic, knowledgable, helpful, and fun. I have already suggested this tour to my New York friends. | ||||||

More a history tour than a food tour

| Zerve bills this as a food tour of Greenwich Village, but it should be advertised more appropriately as a walking history tour with a few rest stops along the way. As an avid foodie and accomplished cook, I and my group were looking forward to not only sampling the different foods in the village, but to also meeting with shop owners and seeing how some of the beautiful pastries, breads and other ethnic delicacies are made. We were expecting the tour to be centered around the food of the village, not its architectural history. Because the food took a distant second billing, we were greatly disappointed. The tour itself could have easily been condensed into an hour and a half at the most. There was an incredible amount of stopping and talking and not enough sampling. The first hour we had one half slice of pizza, a mini cannoli and a rice ball. The entire second hour was spent walking, talking and going in and out of restaurants with absolutely no sampling. The third hour we had olives and cheese, two chocolate covered almonds, a little felafel and another little pastry. All this for $40.00!! Needless to say we were starving when the tour finally ended. The best part of the day was our lunch at John's Pizza! If your interested in the foods of the village, get a guide book with walking tours of the village and explore on your own. | ||||||

| We (3 of us) thought it was great. Loved the tour guide (Susan). Lots more food than we thought - all delicious. Except that last pastry. The first canolis were SOOO good, we expected exceptional again. But all the food was great, the tour was at a nice leisurely pace, Susan "IS" New York and no one better could've been our guide. Always love hearing interesting facts like where the terms "86" and "up river" came from. Just enough people were in our group. It was a fun way to spend a few hours and see part of the city I never knew before. We actually wound up staying in that particular area another 6 hours after the tour just walking around and eating more....I mean we should've since we then knew all the best places! | ||||||

| We really enjoyed our tour. The combination of learning about the architecture, history, culture and food of the area is so unique and fun! I do have a suggestion however, and that is to have smaller tour groups. Having a limit of say 8 people would allow for everyone to hear better, for better "kodak moments", and we wouldn't be crowding the sidewalks and shops as heavily. We had 13 people in our tour group and it was difficult sometimes to hear everything that was said and I was reluctant to take pictures of certain spots because of so many people ending up in my pictures and distractihg from the real beauty of a building or strorefront. | ||||||

| My wife and I were very impressed by the tour. It included a great mix of food tasting, architectural and historical information, and local Village lore. Our guide, Curt, was gracious, helpful, and informative. Based on our experience with this tour, we plan on taking advantage of the other tours you offer in the future. | ||||||

| We so enjoyed this walking tour. We have visited NYC many times but this was our first walking tour. It gave us an inside look that we would never have had the opportunity to see on our own. Kurt was our tour guide and he was excellent. He had fun stories to tell and little known places to show us that only the locals know. The food was good and you don't leave hungry! We especially appreciated that the group is limited to 16 people. We plan on visiting the area on our own the next time we are in NYC and trying the many restaurants recommended. | ||||||
