Foods of New York Tours

I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting New York! Our tour guide, Mike, was extremely knowledgeable about the area, as he must have been a resident of Greenwich, which really added to the tour experience - it gave you a flavor or what it was like to live in Greenwich - past and present! The food we sampled was delicious, and with the great commentary from our guide made this tour well worth the time and money!! Thanks for a great experience!

I took my parents on the tour while they were visiting me for the weekend and they both loved it. Next visit, we'll take a food tour in a different neighborhood. Our tour guide, Darell, was enthusiastic and charming and did a phenomenal job.

Bob was a great tour guide, knowledgeable, interesting and obviously loved what he was doing. The food selections were great and the history of the meat packing district was fascinating. We can't wait to come back to New York and take one of the other tours offered. Do you do this in other major cities? San Francisco? Chicago?

The tour provided a lot of interesting information on the area and plenty of really good food. We enjoyed all of the tastings and finished the tour feeling full of really yummy food!

Highly recommended tour due to the personality and vast knowledge of tour guide. Having the business owners visit with the tour group was a nice touch. Tour guide might not want to make assumption that everyone is from out-of-town. I didn't not enjoy the tasting consisting of deep-fried mushrooms as much.

It was great!

Our guide was Michael and he was very interesting and very well informed. We learned facts about the age of the Village and how it started. The food tasting were good and of a varied nature. It definetly made us want to spend more time discovering Greenwich Village. We will be back when we have more time.

Our guide, Kurt, led us on an educational, sensory-delighting, entertaining insider's view of the Chelsea Market and surrounding area. We highly recommend the tour!

Don't expect to feel stuffed after the tour but it is definitely enough to get you through the day. All the samples and suggestions were amazing. It had an excellent balance of information on the history of Greenwich Village as well.

Our group of four had a very enjoyable time on the food tour. We enjoyed all of the food selections and learning about the history and culture of Greenwich Village. We highly recommend this tour. We plan on returning and participating in one of the other tours offered.

We took the tour on one of the coldest days of the year (something like minus 8 - without allowing for the wind-chill factor), yet still had a great time. The food-tasting element is more low-key than expected (a couple of bits of pizza, a rice ball, an Italian pastry and some cheese) but the informative, enthusiastic and entertaining style of our guide (Michael) - covering architecture, history and local anecdote as well as food - made it a tour to remember. We were a group of four from London and while we sometimes shivered in the biting New York temperatures (making London seem almost balmy by comparison), this was a highlight of our trip. Well worth sampling - but try to pick a warm day!

We were introduced to some places we would never have found on our own. On one occasion, one of our party remarked that ".. knowing about that place was worth the price of the tour alone..." Next time in NY we will definitely be back to Greenwich Village!! Thanks.

The tour was very entertaining, with Kurt as our guide !! We not only tasted many different foods, but learning about some hidden gems of the Village was fancinasting!! Also learning about the Landmark area, that Jackie O had a hand in saving NYC history- and the stories about the Village- all of this was as deliocus as the food on the tour.

This tour was absolutely fabulous! My family and I were captivated the entire time by both the history of the area as presented by our guide and the food as prepared by the vendors. Being from New York it is so interesting to learn the stories of the neighborhoods of the city that everyone has heard of, but few really know. As an added note, our guide Kurt was hilarious and entertaining every step of the way...he is one of the funniest people on the planet.

Kurt was our tour guide and he was enthusiastic and interesting. We took this tour to familiarize ourselves with the West Village area but we enjoyed it more than we could ever have guessed. The food was good and I particularly enjoyed the comments about the architecture and history. We enjoyed it so much that we related our experience to our dinner companions and they all want to take the tour now. The most important thing to me is that, now, when I return to the W. Village, I will feel like I know where I am going and what I am doing. Thanks for a great tour!
