Foods of New York Tours

Being my first time in New York, it was quite an experience. The tour was quite informative in the history of food in this neighborhood and the culture of the place. The food was excellent. I wish we could enter each restaurant and look at the menus. The timing of the food sampling was a little off I think. We tasted two right away at the start of the tour then went for hours without anything. Then at the end, we tasted four items pretty much consecutively. If the food tasting could be spread out more evenly, that would be nice.

Anyone interested in food and cultures that has more than a couple days in New York should make this tour a priority.

myself and a friend came on the greenwich village tour, after a friend recommended it. we had a great time, and it was very worthwhile doing, not only to sample some great food but to listen to the guides' (Kurt) extensive knowledge on food and the general area.

The Greenwich Village food tour was great. Our tour guide was not only full of knowledge, but she was friendly and enthusiastically bubbly making us laugh the whole three hours. The three hours whiz by. My husband is a local new yorker and vehemently opposed to tours. We were invited by another couple and i made him go. He loved it. He learned so many things about New York that he did not know before. My family is coming to visit from Australia at the end of the year, and i am definitely going to book them on the tour. Just make sure that if you do the tour in the colder months, that you rug up. Most of the time you are walking outside and if its cold, you really feel it. Oh, the food you taste is also awesome - and you get the opportunity to grab a beer along the way. Enjoy!

great cuisineand very knowledgible tour guide

Really enjoyed the history and of course the food tastings. Lok forward to doing another.

My husband and I took this tour and it was great. Berry was well informed, funny and very nice we thoroughly enjoyed it. Plenty of food no need for lunch we can't wait to take another.

Much more than we expected! The food was fabulous, the tour guide was very knowlegeable, enthusiatic and loads of fun to spend time with. The other people on our tour were very nice. We had a wonderful time and are already booking another tour.

I live in New York temporarily and my daughter is studying at college in another city. I booked this tour for the two of us because we're both interested in food and we've done nothing like this before. She's been to New York several times and has visited most of the tourist attractions. But she has never enjoyed herself so much as she did on this tour. We tasted a variety of food. The things we loved the most were the fresh tomato pizza from Joe's, olive twist from Amy's Bread, rice ball from Faicco's and the big cookie from Milk and Cookies Bakery. The tour guide was great. She was caring and talked clearly. She took (introduced) us to restaurants and shops that we ourselves would pass and probably never notice. The walk along the serene leafy streets in west village was another highlight of the tour. We learned a lot and took some good photos. Acturally my daughter was so inspired by the tour that she is thinking of starting the same tour in my home country!

Enjoyed the tour, alot of history on the village. The food at the indian resturant , and foccia was great, the bakery was just ok..would have had more sweets and added maybe a cheese shop. Overall was good

This was our first time in NYC and this tour was a great starter tour that gave us a wonderful insight to Greenwich, the great food they offer and some history as well. We loved the village feel Greenwich has and can see why it is a desirable area to visit. We truly enjoyed the entire tour and would recommend it to anyone. Definitely wear comfortable shoes, as you are on your feet for almost the entire three hours!

The food tastes are soo delicious and amazingly light. I love the natural lighting in some of the places we visited making the tasting that much more inviting. I'm definitely going to revisit some of these places.

Entertaining, lively, informative and tasty. We've already tried 2 of the restaurants and many of the shops.

Had a great time on this tour. Learned about the area, loved the samples of food. Kurt, our guide, was fabulous. Wonderfully enthusiastic, knowledgeable, fun. The other people on the tour were friendly and warm. The weather was perfect. Looking forward to another tour before the weather gets too cold.

Feel this was great value for money - and an insight into a tiny piece of New York - made me realise how long it would take to really get to know this city as we covered a miniscule part and there was so much to learn. Really liked our guide and the richness of her knowledge.
