Great way to see the Village
Sun, Jun 8  12:00 PM oobiedoobie Female 40-49 Combination Group of Friends
Our group of 3 couples had a great afternoon! It was nearly 100 degrees when we began our noon tour, but our tour guide Marie was all about "shade and hydration", and getting us into air conditioned places as much as possible. The tastings were all great (there were 8) and the neighborhood info was the best. Guides show you around, and let you know not only the history of the area, but what's happening today. A great primer so you may go back and try little places that you may never have otherwise know about, and also a way to feel more comfortable & to know your way around a little better in the area of the city that isn't "gridded" like up-town.We will be back to do more tours, and to check out some of the restaraunts in the area. Highly recommended!

great tour and great food!
Sun, Jun 8  11:30 AM nab8fc Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
This was an excellent tour and Amy,our guide, was the best! It was extremely hot and the different vendors were nice enough to let us sample their food inside in the air conditioning. At the Aromatics shoppe, Joanne (the owner) had made an iced jar of lemon, peppermint and lavender oils and water for us to dip a paper towel in and wipe our faces and neck to cool off. It was the best! Amy was extremely knowledgable regarding the architecture and real estate of the area and kept the tour interesting. Even in the heat, the time flew right by-I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone!

Our tour guide, Amy, provided so much interesting information about the area and all the food tastings were teriffic. The pace was comfortable. The tour makes you want to plan your next New York outing in Greenwich Village. This is a tour that would appeal to anyone interested in food or the culture and architecture of the area. I highly recommend it!

Great way to spend an afternoon
Sun, Jun 8  11:00 AM desanna1 Female 40-49 Local Family With Children
I found it very interesting and a great selection of tastings. I went with my husband, 2 teenage daughters and another family of 4. We are all native New Yorkers and we all enjoyed it immensely. I would not recommend the tour for younger kids. This is our second food tour with this company. We went on the Chelsea market/meatpacking district tour last year and loved that as well.

Great tour - but maybe not with kids!
Sat, Jun 7  1:00 PM suefrederick Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
We took our 13 year old son on a very hot day. The walking and standing in the sun was too much for him. Our guide was terrific, the food was incredible and we learned so much - but it wasn't a highlight for my boy!

Very interesting

The food was not as good as I expected and lacked diversity. However, the tour guide was very entertaining and told interesting stories.

Great Recommendations on Greenwich Village Dining!
Sat, Jun 7  12:30 PM fml1632 Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
We really enjoyed our tour! Our tourguide (Barri) was very professional and knowledgeable. On a day when NYC was experiencing record heat, she did a great job of keeping us hydrated by stopping regularly for water. She always accommodated our needs. The food was good - nothing extraordinary - but the Olive Oil shop & Cheese store were highlights. If you are a lover of learning about new places to eat, and exploring small historic communities, this is the tour for you. We really did enjoy and would recommend! In fact, we went back the next day and had lunch at one of the recommended restaurants and it was fabulous!

Excellent mix

The tour was an excellent mix of what Soho and the village has to offer concerning food, culture and history!

East Village @ it's best!
Sat, Jun 7  12:30 PM barbg647 Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Great tour! Don't be put off by 3 hrs of walking - we covered a small area of the West Village: Bleeker St and the Landmark District. Very interesting achitecture and historical information...and appetizing. Food samples were delicious. Would definitely return to the area. Looking forward to the other tours offered in Chelsea & SoHo. Tour guide was superb!

A Must-Do for Anyone Who Loves Food and NY!
Sat, Jun 7  12:00 PM daniellex197 Female 30-39 Local Couple on a Date
What an amazing tour this was! I thought it would be fun, but instead it was phenomenal! Our tour guide, Sam, was knowledgeable, funny, friendly, and very personable. He memorized everyone's name at the start of the tour and called everyone by name for the next three hours. The Chelsea Market food shops were incredible and the choice of delicasies were unmatched!. I think I've bragged about this tour to everyone I know... and when friends say they want to go, I'm offering to go with them, just so I can experience the tour all over again. From the history to the food facts, and from the individual shop owners to all the delicious tastings, I couldn't think of a better way to spend the afternoon. Grab your favorite foodie friends and go go go! I can't wait to try the other tours too!

Guide left very quickly
Sat, Jun 7  12:00 PM LBWakeman Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
We wanted to give our guide a well deserved tip but he left very quickly. We thought he went to the restroom and waited for about 10 minutes before the doorman told us that he had left the building. I'd recommend that participants have their tips ready in advance - we were having so much fun that it seemed like the end came too soon and we didn't have time to get our money out of our wallets.

Enjoyed the tour
Sat, Jun 7  11:30 AM jzajac Female 50-59 International Tourist(s) Group of Friends
The tour was great. The weekend was hot (in the 90's). Beverages were able to be purchased along the way. The only suggestion would be to change one of the pizza places to another restaurant on the tour. Our guide was well informed. One member of our group had done the Chelsea meat packing restaurant cultural tour and thought that it was better.
