| My friend and I went into the tour only expecting to get food, but we got so much out of it than that! Not only did we have a very wide variety and a good representation of the cuisine but we were "taught" how to eat the foods as well as learn about the food preparation and background on how the foods developed through the times. Every food we received was very high quality (because most of the foods we had before, so we were able to make a good comparison) and in vast quantities so there were more than enough for seconds and thirds if your stomach could handle it. We were also given a mini history tour of Chinatown, which was very interesting to learn about. Overall, it was a LOT of food, lots of information, and a really good time. We definitly recommend this tour, even if you're a native New Yorker! | ||||||

| I did this tour after doing the Greenwich Tour the day before and was a little disappointed. Our tour guide Raheem was enthusiastic and knowledgable regarding Chinatown. The first course of dim sum was some of the best I have ever tasted.. The tastings that followed were all mediocore in my opinion. Some folks did rave about the peking duck which I do not care for the taste. I should mention that this tour was on special for 1/2 price and was decent for the money. I f contemplating a tour I highly recommend the Greenwich Tour instead of this one. | ||||||

| The tour was great. The guides made us feel very comfortable in Chinatown as tourist. I liked eating in the restaurants , but equally liked eating on the streets. The guides made it clear that they were not in a deal with the places we visited and were a little dissapointed when there would be a hard sell at the end by the shop. I found this fine and I think it is important for new people to Chinatown to get used to the hard sell they do and just say no thank you and walk away if they are not interested, it is just business. Good tour guides. We will do another tour! | ||||||

| This was our first visit to New York and we were so glad we included this tour as we otherwise would not have ventured into Greenwich village. What a fantastic cultural and culinary experience! There was ample, carefully selected food to sample along the way, but equally as enjoyable was the historical and architectural information about the evolution of the neighbourhood. Our guide, Bari, was excellent. We had our three teenagers in tow and I was concerned that their attention span would be tested but they remained fascinated by the whole tour. The 19 year old son best summed it up: we "thoroughly enjoyed it". | ||||||

Highly Recommended!!!

| I signed up for this tour after reading all the reviews on your website. I also love the Greenwich area and wanted to familiarize myself more with the area. I did this tour on a very hot and humid day and was a little concerned about walking around in the heat for 3 hours. The tour and tasting was wonderful. We were in and out of airconditioning enough that we did not seem to notice the temperature. We loved the history provided by our tour guide. I will definately book other tours when I return to the city. | ||||||

| This was my husband's and mine first trip to Greenwich Village. We had a great mix of people (13 + Ed our guide). Ed did a great job in introducing us to the village with a little bit of history as well as the food tasting. Each shop that we stopped at was a fine choice. Ed also showed us around the neighborhood with more info about a variety of restaurants that we didn't get a taste at or places that we might want to visit at a later date. Afterwards we did go back into a few of the stores to do some shopping and talk with the proprietors/and clerks. It truly was a fun time as well as informative. | ||||||

Highly recommended tour.

| Michael was a very knowledgable guide with a fun personality. He portrayed his knowledge with great enthuisiasm making the tour a very enjoyable experience. We learnt a lot about the local cuisine and the cultures within Greenwich Village. It is a "must do" activity in New York. | ||||||

| The tour was great, doing three things. - tastes of very different shops and restaurants, enough food to skip lunch! - some really interesting cultural and architectural history of Greenwich Village - the opportunity to check out places to come back to - many with money off coupons Our tour guide was Barri who was excellent - friendly and knowledgeable. The whole thing is highly recommended | ||||||

| This was my third time taking the food and walking tour around Greenwich Village. the food was amazing and I learn more and more about that area everytime I take the tour! You get a history lesson out of it. I take friends with me who have never been on the tour, They all love it! I've taken the tour 3 times in the past 4 years. I love it and I highly recommend it! Thanks! Laura Collier Atlanta, GA | ||||||

| This is a great way to learn about a neighborhood, and to find some good restaurants in the area. Our tour guide Michael was very knowledgeable and friendly, and has lived in the Greenwich area for over 20 years - a wonderful ambassador for the area. All the food samples were delicious and there was a nice variety of offerings, including yummy sweets (the cannoli was a perfect way to end the tour). Our daughter lives in NYC and also thought the tour was great! We went back on a different night and ate at Palmas. The meal was delicious, reasonably priced, and we were able to enjoy our meal in their delightful garden area. | ||||||
