Interesting-good introduction

| I thought the tour was interesting, including the historical perspective of the Market and Meatpacking district. I was expecting to try a bit more food and I thought that there wasn't much food (I wasn't quite full at the end of the tour- and I don't need a lot of food), especially for the cost of the tour. Also, our guide was very strict about not buying while on the tour, which I understand to a certain extent. But, especially if people are still hungry, I think this rule can be a bit more flexible. I also think a wonderful addition to the tour would be a quick tour of the Food Network. | ||||||

| We took the tour on a friends recommendation who had visited the market just two weeks before us. My husband and I really enjoyed the tour, our guide was very enthusiastic (I wish I could remember his name) and provided us with great details and very interesting facts. He was very knowlegable about the tour he gave and he even gave us an added bonus through Greenich village. We ended our tour with him in a freinds beautiful garden for our dessert. | ||||||

| Well, I am from Chicago and my friend and I decided to take this tour just so we can get some ideas where to eat in the Village. We had my 18 month old son with us and the tour guide was obviously not into children. The group was not that big and we really did not eat $40.00 worth of food. The places we ate at where very little. We thought we would have gotten more food to eat. The cultural part of the tour was very nice and very intresting. The tour guide Jenny was very good but the fact that she snubbed us because we where with a child was not nice. We where basically ignored and push to the back we felt because we where with a child. All and all I would say to take this tour if 1) You are not starving 2) If you do not bring children. Lori | ||||||

Delicious, Fun and Informative

| This was a great tour. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and A LOT of fun. The food tastings were great. My only criticism would be that, when we bought our tickets, we were asked about any food allergies, however, our tour guide seemed not to have been informed of our dietary issues. It wasn't a big deal though, because there was so much food available, we were able to work around it. | ||||||

| Jenny, our guide was wonderful. She knew everyone and everything. She made it interesting, informative and fun! We have been on many tours in many cities this made us feel a real part of the community. Our daughter (21) attends CIA in Hyde Park New York and was delighted with the information and knowledge. This totally changed our image of " New Yorkers"; we now love the village. Vicki and Reggie Williams Robin Williams Montgomery, Al | ||||||

Greenwich Cultural Tour with Some Food Added In

| Whilst it was felt that we had the opportunity to taste food at the beginning and end of the tour, our party would have liked it better if we had had more food halfway through as there is a fair bit of walking involved. In relation to the amount of legwork it is necessary to do, perhaps there should be more of a warning regarding this as one of our group seemed unaware of this and actually had to miss a part of the tour. | ||||||

Very Nice Tour

| My mother & I took the Greenwich Village Tasting Tour along w/some friends of ours & we enjoyed it very much. Our tour guide Susan was very knowledgeable & it was a wonderful afternoon. Very informative, great food & we've decided to go back some day in the near future just so we can see all the shops in Greenwich Village. I would definitely recommend going if you've not gone before, but be sure to bring your best walking shoes! | ||||||

| My mother and I participated in the tour together. We both really enjoyed it. The food was excellent and the historical part of the tour was even better. I learned things on this tour that were not only facinating, but made me proud to be a New Yorker. Our guide, Michael was both interesting and very entertaining. I would highly recommend the event to anyone who nloves New York ! | ||||||

| The tour guide was exceptional. I would highly recommend the tour if I knew he was leading it. His name was Michael. He was funny, quick witted, (really knew the area, gave excellent historical detail and up-to-date details of the area), great social skills- he made the tour!! Related well to everyone. | ||||||

| We consider ourselves "almost local". After all we're from Connecticut, aren't we? We never go to NYC as tourists - except this time we decided to take this food tour. Didn't really know what to expect, but why not? What a surprise! The tour was wonderful! Our guide was incredible! She was the perfect mix of information and comedy theater. We learned an amazing amount about where to eat, where to buy products while also learning a whole lot we didn't know about Greenwich Village and places we've passed by many times. We ate ourselves silly, laughed a lot, learned a bunch and haven't stopped talking about the tour between ourselves and to any friends who will listen. We'll definitely be back for the Chelsea tour soon. | ||||||

| It was so interesting learning the history of Greenich Village and how the early settlers developed their own communities. Cindy was a wonderful guide and her enthusiam about the area infected all of us. In my view the food was secondary to the information that we learned about the area. I came back to the hotel and highly recommended the tour to the concierge. | ||||||

| My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour of the Chelsea Market and the surrounding area. The tour included a stop at a biker bar, spotting transvestite prostitutes, and quick stops into some very fine area restaurants. The tour leader was informative and colorful -- quite delightful to listen to. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone hoping to get a unique perspective into one of New York's overlooked tourist areas. It is definitely off the beaten path! | ||||||
