| We did foodsofny's other Greenwich Village tour in March and decided to get a hotel in Greenwich just because of that... This tour didn't disappoint. Greenwich isn't that big but the other tour and this one don't cross paths at all. We'll need to visit Greenwich for several weeks just to exhaust the list of amazing restaurants they gave us. The tour guides are enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The food is great. And it's enough to be lunch... definitely show up with an empty stomach. The best part is the little booklet they give you for later. You can focus on what the guide is saying and know that you'll have all the addresses/details of the restaurants he mentions (and you taste). After both tours we booked dinner at one of the restaurants on the tour (after a few hours in a pub to give our stomachs a break). I'd recommend doing the same. | ||||||

In Love with the City All Over Again

| My family was visiting NYC for the first time and after several days of "classic" tourist activities, I booked all of us for the Central Village/ Soho Walking Tour. It was a highlight of their trip. They all felt that they got a much more authentic and interesting taste of NYC than any of the other sites they waited in line for. Our guide, Rashim, was entertaining and full of fun trivia. The food was delicious and the history of the village fascinating. Plus, walking through the village mid-day we had many NYC characters milling about from dogs dressed in clothes to random know-it-alls that wanted to add their own impromptu tidbits to Rashim's tour. To me, all of those layers are part of what makes the city so unique and special. I have lived in the city for 6 years and it is also one of my favorite activities I've done to date. "Did you know..." has peppered my conversations with all of my "local" friends and clients since the tour. I have also been restaurant recommender extraordinaire since the tour sending friends to various fun spots and romantic spots that we toured through. I highly recommend this tour to visitors and locals alike and can't wait for more company to take on another one soon. | ||||||

| Chelsea Market and Meatpacking District was brought to life by our very enthusiastic and very knowledgeable tour guide, Curt. We learned so much about the area and ate and enjoyed a wide range of delicious food. We definitely will do another tour when we return to NYC! | ||||||

| i scheduled this tour for myself and two friends that were visiting from out of town. our guide was absolutely charming. the tour was great for me (someone who just moved to the area) because i got some great ideas of places i'd like to visit in the near future. and it was also a great way for my out of town guests to see and learn about the village. not only was the tour entertaining and educational, but the food was delicious! the variety of the food we tasted struck the perfect balance between sweet and savory. i was definitely glad we had skipped breakfast beforehand because we were stuffed by the end! | ||||||

| We did the Greenwich tour in October 2008 and really enjoyed it. Our guide Marie was very enthusiastic about the area having lived there herself for many years. Tour runs at a gentle pace and food tasting is nicely spaced out. Nice variation as well with the food. We had a group of 16 and this gave opportunity to chat with others from other parts of the world. All round a good tour & would happily recommend. Mrs Collins. | ||||||

taster menu of Greenwich + a bit of history

| The fact that the weather was beautiful for the end of October was an added bonus. Our guide Barri was very knowledgable and she made the tour enjoyable for me. We got an insight into life in this area in bygone years as well as the history of the various food stores visited. It is obvious that the company has done it's research into each of the venues chosen and it is three hours well spent. Each tasting was just right and not too filling. At the end lunch was not required! I would highly recommend the tour to a foodie who is also interested in the history of the locality. I look forward to taking one of their other tours when I next visit NYC. | ||||||

| The tour started exactly on time and lasted about 3 hours. There was very little standing around and everything moved smoothly. The tour guide (Barri) was extremely knowledgeable and personable. I learned a lot about the history of the area, the architecture and the food. All food tastings were interesting and tasty. There was plenty to eat and no one was interested in having lunch afterwards. My wife and I were delighted with the tour and want to go on the tours of Chinatown and the Chelsea Market/Meatpacking. Well worth the price of $42/person. If you are in New York - take one of these tours, you won't be disappointed. | ||||||

| Our tour guide, Cindy Kiner (sp?), is a gem. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and laughed when we weren't eating. I recommend this otur to anyone who's interested in learning about the Village, its history, architectural gems and great foods. We'll be back for other tours. | ||||||

| We had a great time wandering around the village - hearing some history and eating good food. I am a local so knew the lay of the land, but still LOVED finding new places to eat. | ||||||

Our Guide

| Our guide Kurt was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We really enjoyed his style of describing the history of the area. The food was great and we learned a lot. For two people who grew up in New York and now live elsewhere, we really enjoyed learning about a piece of Manhattan that we had never visited before. We don't recommend u bring babies or fussy toddlers. Wear comfortable shoes and if possible a separate bag to put whatever food u don't want to eat but want to save for later. | ||||||

| We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Heather. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the area; both for the restaurants and the architecture which made the tour so special. When we return to NYC we will be booking one of the other tours. The places that we stopped were very friendly and the tastings were the perfect size. Great Job!!!! | ||||||

| We would never have learned as much about the area on our own as we did on this guided tour. Our tour guide, Heather, took plenty of time to answer every question and was in no hurry to finish the tour. She knew the area well and was very pleasant. | ||||||

| Thanks to Cindy for an amazing 3+ hours! Our group of 15 from all over the states and a wonderful time. Our two wheelchairs were wonderfully accomodated. The food was top notch and Cindy's knowledge of the Village, history, and the neightbors we ran into along the way were the icing on the cake. Several of our group returned over the weekend to attend the Cherry Hill Theater and dine. We will definitely recommend this tour to our friends and will be back on our next visit!!

| I would only recomend this tour for people who understand english american really well as coming from Spain my husand found it very hard to understand, also the guide talked a lot about American writers etc and although this is great for American tourists as international tourists we didnīt know any of them.The food was good but not abundant as led to believed. It was wet and cold and got boring by the end ,nothing to do with the guide who was doing his best to do his job , we feel we made a big mistake and it wasnīt what i had expeted. | ||||||
