| What a wonderful way to see a distinct New York neighborhood. The food combined with history made the day special. Michael's view as a member of the community made it feel like I was visiting an old friend and walking the neighborhood. | ||||||

| my adult daughter & i thoroughly enjoyed the tour. some might think mike goes into too much detail, but i found his intimate knowledge of the area, its history, and the people now living there, to be a terrific attribute, and enormously informative and entertaining. i would recommend the tour, and when i return, will probably take it again. | ||||||

The Multiple Layers of Greenwich VIllage
|
|||||
| Fri, Apr 29, 05 11:30 AM | rgrove | Male | 50-59 | Domestic Tourist(s) | Group of Friends | |
| To the casual tourist Greenwich VIllage is just another quaint Bohemian theme park neighborhood in the middle of a great urban center. This tour offered a peek into the cultural history of the area which shaped it. In addition we were exposed to restaurants and stores we would have never discovered on our own. Our guide was full of stories and antidotes that brought depth and understanding to what were were seeing. Now, instead of thinking Greenwich VIllare is a theme park, I now know what most New Yorkers already know; Greenwich Village is a national treasure! | ||||||

Good, but underscores neighborhood.

| Really enjoyed the tour, food and history lesson, but walked away with an overwhelming sadness about the neighborhood. The guide kept saying that the gentrification was really great, but what's great about landlords quadrupling rents, moving an entire industry to a remote part of the Bronx, and gloating about a building going for 12 million, when it was up for 400,000 5 years ago. Restaurants are great, and 60$ t-shirts from the boutiques is terrific. I know this happened in Soho and elsewhere, but I still don't condone it. It was like you're tour had a subtle helping hand in promoting the decline of a once great industry/area in NYC. Even the guide said to me that he nevers ventures there at night as it's a "scene". I couldn't agree more. It seems to me that it's the epitome of New York being sold to the rich. Sad. | ||||||

| I did four tours this week. What I liked about this one was that it had little walking. I plan to take my parents on this tour in the future. This is something you should market. A lot of older people can not do walking tours because two hours of walking is to much. On this tour you could walk, sit, go the the washroom and enjoy a unique part of the city. As a local I really enjoyed the tour. I found some new spots I would like to go to and some places I will take guests. | ||||||

| Our tour guide Todd was great. He definitely had a passion for the area and food. I was surprised that some of my "fellow tourist" lived in NYC. I think that fact sums up the quality of the tour. I would highly recommend this tour. | ||||||

| What a great way to see a part of NYC that I did not know much about! Our tour guide was very charming and knowledgeable, and provided us with lots of information about the Village. All the food stops were wonderful - we were completely stuffed afterward and did not eat until much later that evening! We can't wait to do take another walking and tasting tour on our next trip to NYC. | ||||||

| Our tour guide, Mike, was very familiar with the area, the buildings and knew most of the individuals walking on the street. We got to see more than we expected, and loved the historical comments Mike made about the buildings, homes, and restaurants on the tour. The food was fabulous and we can't wait to do it again! | ||||||

| My friend and I had visited Greenwich Village before but felt we'd not got to the heart of the district before. The guide was very informative, friendly and relaxed - a real character in fact. The food we tasted along the way was very diverse and the shopkeepers very interested in explaining things to us. Sometimes on tours you really feel like a tourist, but this one was different and as well as the food, we gathered some very interesting architectural facts along the way. | ||||||

| I took this tour on a whim and was so glad that I did. I have been to New York many times before but have never explored the Greenwich Village area which is why I signed up for the tour. I was so glad that I did. Cindy (our guide) was fantastic. She was so knowledgable and friendly. All the employees in the different places we went into were happy to see her and it was very evident she has a great love for the area. i would recommend this tour to anyone going to New York. | ||||||
