couple in early 40's visiting for a few days from Toronto

We were a bit worried (or my husband was) when we showed up and the tour was all middle aged women - but we had a hoot - Zora made the tour so much fun - what a woman. She had a great knowledge of the area and the architecture not to mention the restaurants and local food establishments. Lots of fun - would recommend it and do it again -but would have to request Zora - loved that girl!

My daughter (25) and I both thoroughly enjoyed it. Zora was an excellent guide, giving us lots of historical and funny anecdotes about Greenwich--notice I left off the redundant "village" part. Local history was great. Food was fantastic. Local people were friendly. 3 hours zoomed by. It was really my favorite part of visiting New York because it was up close & personal.

Helpful and detailed background on the meatpacking district, then, now, and future. Interesting and "neat" details of the area. Good food tastings, and well arranged in Chelsea market. Too much bread/too many carbs for me though! Well recommended food walking tour.

woman traveling alone looking for a fun trip thru Greenwich Village

Wonderful food - lots of variety and portion sizes were great. I went back to Gigot for dinner that same evening and mentioned that I had been on the food tour earlier that day. Greatly enjoyed learning things like where the term "86ed" came from. This tour is almost too good to be true - fabulous value for your money- but be prepared for 3 hours of walking and standing. I will definitely recommend this tour to friends and family.

I am 61 years old, have been in the travel business for 15 years and have done many tours. Never have I done one that I've enjoyed more or even as much as I enjoyed the Greenwich Village Food and Culture Tour. Our guide, Susan, was absolutely the best!! She gave us a great overview of the area's history as well as bringing in a little humor. You can tell from the minute you meet her that she loves what she's doing. Having worked in sales for the past 40 years, I always appreciate a person like Susan. She is definitely an asset to your organization. In closing, I must tell you that I will never send a client to New York again without giving them information on your tours. Respectfully, Ruth Antonius, Owner The Travel Solution

Just little old me, looking to wander round Greenwich Village

The tour consisted of crossing the road in a zig-zag between eateries. Great if you like food and hate sightseeing. If you like sightseeing and aren't fussed about food - like me - you might want to try something else.

This tour is the best way to get to know Greenwich Village. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the Village and surrounding areas. The foods we tasted were excellent and so fantastic that a few of us went back to the area to try different foods. We actually ate a main course in one restaurant and dessert in another and bought cheese to bring home. When we go back next year we are definitely taking another tour.

First rate and filling – in all ways! The food tour of Greenwich Village was thoroughly enjoyable. I would recommend it, without hesitation, not only for the food enthusiast, but for any tourist who wants to get to know the village through the eyes of a resident. In addition to the places visited, I also enjoyed the annotations – the tips and stories about other restaurants, bars, bakeries and businesses in the area. Our tour leader (Michael) was engaging, interesting, informed, pleasant and an excellent raconteur. I look forward to coming back to NYC and to participating in your Chelsea tour.

The tour was great, including both some yummy tastings and history of New York and particularly the Greenwich Village area. Do this tour in the first couple of days in New York so you can take advantage of all the restaurant recommendations!

We both enjoyed this and highly recommend it to both visitors and residents of NYC. Visitors should definitely take the tour at the beginning of their trip. Susan provided us with a good sense of the neighborhood's history and current culture, as well as excellent tips on local restaurants and shops. We were much better educated after the tour not only about the specific restaurants covered, but about picking restaurants elsewhere in the city. We'd do it again!

It was great tour. Unfortunately my English is poor, but I enjoyed the tour. You should go even if you aren't quite at home in English!
