Exercise AND Eat Your Heart Out!!!
Sun, Jul 24, 05   11:30 AM rjfiore Male 40-49 Local Couple on a Date
Looking for a new adventure in NY...this is it! We signed up for the tour, because it looked unique and gave us an opportunity to explore a part of the city that we had not taken the time to visit. To our delight, we had a wonderful tour guide who lived in the neighborhood and was a wealth of information. He was charming and entertaining, and he answered every question we asked. His love of the neighborhood and its various cuisines allowed us to experience Greenwich Village as a new neighbor might. The variety of foods we ate was incredible....pizza, tarts, Greek olives, and falafels...just to name a few. We saw the 9 1/2 food wide house, as well as one of the famous speak-easys from the Prohibition. Without our guide, we would never have known they were tucked away in the backstreets of Greenwich Village. This is the tour for those who like to eat, laugh, exercise AND go home with a little NY trivia and history.

I found this tour on the internet and thought I would take a chance. The tour was so entertaining and informative not to mention the great food you get to try along the way. Our tour guide, Kurt, made the tour outstanding and I would recommend it to all my friends visiting New York. Thank you for introducing us to so many great food shops and touring the area!

This is a great way to learn your away around Greenwich Village, and taste a few treats along the way. Our tour guide was superb and full of great historical information. A great tour which I highly recommend. We'll be trying the Meat Packing District next!

Enthusiastic guide, good food, spotty history
Sun, Jul 24, 05   11:00 AM lwood321 Female 30-39 Combination Family Without Children
This was an interesting tour of the food of Grenwich Village. We left with a written description and map of over 30 restaurants and other food shops in the Village. The tour guide was intimately familiar with the Village and did a great job accomodating my husband, who cannot eat milk products, and a 9-month pregnant woman on the tour. The most interesting stop was an old speakeasy called Chumleys. The tour included lots of desserts, pizza, cheese and olives, and kabobs. We were still a little hungry at the end of the tour. The guide explained a bit about some of the architecture seen and briefly delved into the history of the Village. My only suggestion is to organize the tour either by geography, meal courses, or history. We seemed to jump around a lot.

Up and Coming Area

Two thirds of this tour is spent in the Chelsea Market, making it less varied than the Greenwich Village tour, but still interesting in its own right. The meat packing district is sure to undergo many more changes in the near future which will further enhance the tour.

FANTASTIC tour...worth every penny!!!

It was such and enjoyable tour. Our guide Mike was very knowledge and enthusiastic. It was such a pleasure to see someone so passionate about the area and the food. Not only do you get to sample a variety of foods but the history of the buildings and Greenwich Village was so interesting. Visiting Chumleys was such a bonus!!! We will definitely be spending more time in the Village after this tour. There are so many different restaurants to visit!!

Excellent tour of Greenwich Village--great food stops with an excellent commentary on the history of the area. Our tour guide, Mike, was incredible !!! Mike was knowledgable, knew the area and the people and made the tour one of the best that we've been on in a long time....well worth the money !!!

Loved learning about the Village
Sat, Jul 23, 05   11:00 AM carim3 Female 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
As some of our fellow tour members said, "we could keep on going all day with this tour". Mike made it all so interesting, what a story teller!! He has so much local knowledge that the Village really came alive, and in a way you would never know it by just walking around or reading about it. He made the history personal with his own encounters, enthusiam and background. This experience gave us a feeling of really getting to know the nooks and crannies of this special area, by learning about places you might just walk by otherwise. A memorable day of exploration. And the food tasting was just as interesting and also varied and yummy. We are going back for dinner at one of the stops shortly to celebrate a birthday and maybe stop in at "#86" along the way. We're from NJ and plan to take more of these walks with you.

Definite Highlight to be included in your NY trip!
Sat, Jul 23, 05   10:30 AM egrossman Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
We had a great time on this tour, it was one of the family's favorite activities while in NY. (2 adults and 2 older teens) Food samples were larger than expected and included large slices of pizza, small pastries, pita kabobs, cheeses - bread - olives, matzah balls, cookies, candy, etc... The cultural information was interesting and we loved Greenwich Village. We'll have to plan to visit again to take advantage of the restaurant and night life advice! Walking was at an easy pace with many breaks for info and food samples.

Great Overview of Greenwich Village
Fri, Jul 22, 05   11:00 AM gariem Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
Our guide Kurt was extremely knwledgeable and entertaining. The tour combines architectural and historical elements of Greenwich Village with those all-important "munchies" to keep you going for three hours. There was actually more delicious food than we could eat. I followed several of the restaurant recommendations for evening meals and was not disappointed. Schedule this tour at the beginning of your NYC stay to derive maximum benefit!

Very satisfied.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our culinary tour. Our tour guide, Kurt, was energetic and enthusiastic. He provided a well paced, enjoyable commentary throughout the tour, and we both felt that we learned a good bit about the Village in our 3 hours. We have already recommended the tour to our family members, and will do so to our friends as well.

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!!!
