Aida is an excellent tour guide. A fun, small group of people--I did not envy the other tour groups we ran into with 30+ people! Excellent sampling of what Greenwich Village has to offer in its markets and shops. A very good pace for a tour. Four hours flew by. Although it was billed as an architecture and culinary tour, it definitely skewed to the culinary destinations--which was perfect for my tastes, but may not meet others' expectations. I'm enjoying all my tasty souvenirs, and planning for my next visit to the city with all the educational materials I received. |

Very enjoyable time. Will recommend to others. Only complaint was carrying the bit heavy but very useful "Slow Foods" book around. |

Addie,
Both Christine and I had the most wonderful morning with your sister-in-law Eileen who managed to show us a view of Greenwich Village which we could not possibly have managed on our own. I am sorry it has taken so long to actually send a review but at long last I have gotten around to it.
Every shop or location we visited was extremely welcoming, probably due in no small measure to Eileen's charm & lovely personality. Neither of us can actually name our favourite stop, they were all exciting.
The other couple from California on that mornings tour were lovely and I can honestly say that the tour was the highlight of our visit to New York.
The next time we are in New York we shall definitely take another of your tours and indeed have passed on our highest reccomendations to our friends here in Scotland.

Initially, I was hesitant about commiting such a substantial amount of time and money in one activity when our trip seemed too short to begin with!...I'm SO glad that I did! Our guide, Eileen, (Addie's sister-in-law) was wonderful...it was like have a relative in the city!...it didn't take long at all for our group of eight to become friends and it seemed when it was over that no one wanted to leave. We had such a facinating, informative and enjoyable day...dare I say...'magical!' I'll be scheduling my next trip to NYC around what Addie has to offer!! |

I finally "got" the Village. |

We (my husband and I) have vacationed in NYC 3-4 times a year for 25 years, and thought we knew most of the nooks and crannies. Though we usually stay 'uptown', we have often wandered the streets of the Village. But until we participated in the Savory Sojourns tour through the Italian Greenwich Village we never "got it". The tour goes beyond the vintage shops and coffee houses and gets right to the heart and soul of the village. I was so touched by the richness of each of the places to which we were introduced, that I already have plans to spend my next vacation in one of the B&B's in the heart of the village. I highly recommend this tour, and though this was my first Savory Sojourns event, I plan to work future vacations around their other offerings. The website does a better job than I in describing each stop, and the personal touch from the owner of these tours makes you know, from the beginning, that this is something special. I would go so far as to invite native New Yorkers to participate as well. As I have been told by many locals, they just don't get around to getting out and enjoying the city. These tours teach you more in a few hours than you could discover on your own in years. A++++ |

Addie led us on a superb "walk" through a very unique neighborhood! She is a most gracious host and an excellent example of a friendly New Yorker! Her knowledge of the area helped us learn the history. The people she introduced us to were friendly and courteous. The "tastings" were scrumptious. Lunch was enjoyable because of her company. We look forward to many more walks with Addie! |

Highlight of our trip! |

Just back from our NYC weekend and the Greenwich Village tour with Addie. What a delight! Ate SO much good food we didn't eat the rest of the day! Loved seeing a side of NYC I'd never seen before and probably wouldn't have experienced as much had I been on my own. But Addie was knowledgeable and delightful. Will definitely recommend and try to do another tour with her the next time I'm in town! |

Not just for foodies! Wonderful tour for all.... |

As an avid New York City tour goer, I recently went on the Italian Greenwich Village tour with Savory Sojourns. What a fantastic and tasty experience! Addie Tomei is interesting, knowledgeable, and fun. A must for any native New Yorker, day tripper, or tourist visiting New York. |

A very enjoyable day |

The tour was wonderful and historic and best of all the
food was outstanding.
The tour guide was warm, friendly and very knowledgable.
I would recommend this to everyone who enjoys spending a day with friends or a spouse.
My friends and I can't wait until our next tour. |
