Fantastic time!

| Three female friends toured with our three college-aged daughters and had a fantastic afternoon, despite the downpour! Our tour guide, Michael (Karp?) was extremely interesting and knowledgeable about the Village we couldn't have asked for anyone better! Having grown up in NYC, I learned quite a bit myself. The food was great, and the local shopowners and staff were extremely welcoming. Well worth the money. Three hours went way too fast and all of us agreed we would come again and bring the spouses/boyfriends! | ||||||

| The food and the concept were both good, but I expected a little different type of information and site visitation from the tour guide. There was much more limited information about the prior century's history of residents, notables, residences, events, etc. and more specific information on more recent history and events - say the last 1/2 century and particularly the immediate concerns of Greenwich village residents because of real estate prices and established businesses being forced to close. Although Washington Square was mentioned in passing we didn't go there or learn specifically what events took place there. The tour guide was entertaining and knowledgeable, but my expectations were a little different. I only learned from my Frommer guide that Louisa May Alcott was a resident of 130 Bleecker Street where she may have written Little Women, for example. I enjoyed the visit to the "back house" behind Palma rest. My other suggestion would be to include some non-carb/less fatty food items ( fruits & veggies) even if just as accompaniments to the other dishes. I appreciated the free rain ponchos and water and wasn't expecting to get either one of them, so thank you. Also, I felt the same tour was doable in less than 3 hours. | ||||||

We fell in love with Greenwich Village

| Our tour guide was a very lovely man who showed us the culture, history, and dining expereinces of the greenwich village area. The tour featured diverse tastings and interesting stories. I would recommened this activity, but caution to wear comfortable shoes! | ||||||

| It rained during our tour for about an hour, but we were given plastic raincoats, and we were fine. We kept eating and touring. The tour guide was informative, and the tastings were very good. It is a fun and different kind of tour. We were full from the tastings, but found room to get a mini gelato with the free coupon in our tour book. Enjoy! | ||||||

| I'm a foodie, so my favorite part of travel (which is oftern for work) is dining out and experiencing new resteraunts and dishes. In addition to the being introduced to great places to eat this tour offers an interesting history of the area. When you book the tour, they ask about any dietary restrictions (which I have) and they made special arrangements for me to sample a substitute food on stops where it was an issue. I really appreciated that! I think this tour seemed very intimate due to its size and its obviously great relationship with the resteraunteurs in the area. I would recommend to anyone looking for a great NY experience. I will book another tour when I visit the area gain. | ||||||

So much more than food!

| The tour guide included stops at famous nyc buildings seen on tv as well as stories about the history of the area. I learned a lot more about the Village than I ever expected, in addition to sampling foods from some of the most unique and tasty shops New York City has to offer! | ||||||

Outstanding guide and introduction to neighborhood

| Our guide, Raheen (sp?) was extremely knowlegeable about the neighborhood and the food. The best way to be introduced to an area. We learned so much more than about restaurants and food--history, culture, people. Be prepared to do a bit of walking, a good 3 hours plus. We went back to at least 3 places we visited. | ||||||

| We had the best time! In general, I am a big fan of walking tours, which is why this appealed to me. However, I had never been on a food tour before and that aspect was such a treat! Our tour guide was very lively, knowledgeable, and organized. You could tell she was very familiar with the area and knew everyone we came across. | ||||||

| This is the second time I've been on the Greenwich Village tour, and it did not disappoint! It is a great way to get to know the history and (literally) the flavor of a great neighborhood in NYC! I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in history, architecture and eating! Bravo on a job well done! | ||||||

| We had a great time on this tour. Sam, our tour guide, was excellent. He provided so much information about the building, the vendors and the neighborhood. All the food we tried, and we tried a lot, was fantastic. We all can't wait to go back. | ||||||

| Our guide, Sam, was excellent. He was very well informed, well spoken, and provided a lot of laughs along the way. Our group of four thoroughly enjoyed the tour, and are planning to do a different one in the Fall. Hopefully, we can request Sam to be our guide. | ||||||

| This walking tour was one of the highlights of our vacation. The tour guide was friendly, fun, and informative, the food was phenomenal, filling, and interesting, and the sights provided an insiders view of the village. In addition to the tour, we were given many recommendations of great restaurants to try and night spots to visit, so this is a great tour for the beginning of a New York vacation. Our friends who had visited New York dozens of times enjoyed the tour as much as the first timers. | ||||||
