| 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. |

| What a great delicious tasting tour of Greenwich Village! Our guide, Addie Tomei, makes a fun & lively hostess for this historical "foodie" walking tour of Greenwich Village. We tasted, smelled, and sated our visual senses, too, visiting local cheese and pasta shops and interesting businesses along the way. Even the pouring rain couldn't dampen our spirits and we finished off with a wonderful lunch in a trendy restaurant. Will definitely tour another neighborhood w/Addie's company, Savory Sojourns, when we return to NYC! |

| We really enjoyed this tour- Ms. Tomei brought new insights into the Village to native New Yorkers- the tasting stops were delicious, the mini-history lessons enlightening, and lunch was wonderful. Unlike some tours, all the vendors were happy to see us (probably due to our small group size and their long-standing relationship with our 'leader') Save up your $$$ and sign up- you will not be disappointed! |

| As a birthday treat for my wife, I surprised her with a culinary walking tour of Greenwich Village. We met Addie and the rest of the group in an authentic Italian coffee shop in the Village where we enjoyed a delicious pastry and outstanding coffee. Addie described the itinerary for the day and we were off. The day could not have gone any better. Addie is very warm and friendly. As importantly, she is extremely knowledgeable, both about the history of the island and about the culinary treasures that are available along the way. As local Manhattanites we were fascinated by the gems that were revealed to us! From the best Mozzarella that we have ever tried (freshly made on the premises) to un-pasteurized honey that was imported from Mexico, the many tasting that we enjoyed along the way were all very tasty and a lot of fun.
According to my wife - this was the best birthday surprise ever. I had a blast, and can't wait to go on my next tour with Savory Sojourn!!! |

| 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. |

| I took my visiting parents on the tour, and we all had a wonderful time. The Culinary Walk through Italian Greenwich Village was a nice balance of neighborhood history and culinary delights. We learned about several architecturally and historically significant buildings, visited several wonderful specialty shops (and tasted their wares - yum!), and enjoyed a delicious lunch. Addie was absolutely delightful and very knowledgeable about both the area and its establishments. |

| 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.

| I went on the Greenwich Village Italian tour with 6 friends. Also on the tour were a group of 6 women from California. It was a very congenial bunch. Our tour guide was delightful, and we all enjoyed our day, even though the weather did not cooperate. We had a very nice lunch with 3 courses and wine and coffee included. The shops were interesting, and I'll visit some of them again when next I'm in NYC. I would heartily recommend this tour and our wonderful guide, Addie Tomei. |

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