I loved learning about the history of the area. It was very interesting to learn about civil rights and how Hollywood people helped the movement

Tim is awesome

Yummy food tour!

This was a great tour! Food was delicious. Had 5 different things to eat. Was really filling and all delicious. But also in between food stops we toured Greenwich village. Alex was so informative and upbeat that this made it an enjoyable tour. It was so good that he extended the tour by 1.5 hours at no extra charge. Book this tour and ask for Alex!

Loved it! Guide was friendly and knowledgeable. The historical information was very interesting and my college kids enjoyed the tour. We will do another guided tour with this company again.

Great tour!

The tour guide was awesome! She showed us details of the city, introduced us to people in the community and told great stories.

Highly Recommend

Mandy_M, Oct 2022

Alex was a fantastic tour guide! He told great stories about the history of Greenwich Village in a fun way. He maneuvered through the neighborhood with ease and did a great job of solving issues on the fly that came up unexpectedly like a restaurant being closed. The food was all amazing! Pizza, Indian tacos, and the best cannoli I’ve ever had! Definitely got our moneys worth!

Love the foodies! Our tour guide, Claire was great:) Would definitely recommend. Started with the merengue dessert and finished with cannoli:)

Not a good value

John_G, Apr 2022

While the tour was interesting, and our guide knowledgeable and animated, it was a food tour. The food was good, but not worth the $70 this tour costs over the average price of a two hour tour..

Response from Host, Apr 2022

John, so happy that you enjoyed Claire has a guide, but I'm shocked because the usual complaint is that we give our guests too much food! The other gentlemen on your tour (who was a giant lol) this past Wednesday told us how full he was after the tour with Claire. The price of the tour reflects the whole experience...the amazing food of course, but also small group tours that max out at 8 guests (your tour only had 4 + a guide in training) and exploring the awesome history of the Village. As guides we spend years studying NYC. Our tours are an in depth look at these neighborhoods. The experience you had was Greenwich Village, the food is what helps tie together the awesome stories & residents, both past & present, that have called this neighborhood home.

Fun, informative food tour of The Village

Scott_F, Mar 2022

Claire was an awesome tour guide. She was funny and informative. It was in the 20s and she was careful to ensure we didn’t get too cold and worked to keep us out of the wind. Will be watching for some of the visual clues she taught us about in NYC architecture.

Super fun way to explore NYC

Elizabeth_M, Dec 2021

Jake, our tour guide, was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and took us to the most delicious spots. He made sure every member of our family was happy with the food choices which was very kind! We not only enjoyed all of the yummy food but learned a ton about the neighborhoods we explored. Worth every penny!
