Greenwich Village Food Tour

NancyJ_L, May 2023

What an amazing tour. Adam did an fabulous job on taking us around and telling us the history of the Village and the food. Great local food and it was all local food from New York. Definitely recommend this tour and especially with Adam.

Wow Wow Wow!

Judith_F, May 2023

This tour combines a walking tour around Greenwich village and incorporates tasting 6 dishes. The quality of the food tasted was excellent and its a good way to try new things without committing fully! There were also lots of good tips on various food/items/buildings along the way. Adam was excellent and knew so much. I would strongly recommend this tour - especially if you don't now where to start in Greenwich village!

Come hungry!

Gail_S, May 2023

Excellent tour. And our tour guide Alex was great! We saw and tasted a lot in this 3 hour tour. And everything was delicious. I expected that we would get bite-sized samples but the tastes ranged from an half slice of pizza, half of a sandwich and a full sized cupcake. So definitely come hungry!!Alex was knowledgeable, friendly, entertaining and fun as our tour guide. The walking pace of the tour was good. I would highly recommend this tour.

GREAT FUN!

Wendy_C, May 2023

Celebrating our 60th birthdays, two dear friends and I from junior high took a trip to NYC and Adam was a wonderful guide and made the walking food tour a blast!

Chill way to explore and eat

Stephen_S, May 2023

Great tour, Adam was very friendly,funny and full of interesting stories. He got the whole group relaxed and making friends before we even left, half the group stayed an hour after the end just chatting! The food itself was amazing everywhere we went, well structured to give a chance to digest the first bites before eating even more at the latter venues. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Food Tour with Friends

Larry_L, May 2023

We had a great time with Adam walking and eating our way through Greenwich Village and West Village. Adam was fun and showed us a number of places we otherwise would never have found on our own, especially in the West Village. He brought everyone in the group into the conversation which added to the entire experience. Of course the food was delicious too and we definitely walked away full. Highly recommended!

Entirely worth it

Richard_S, Apr 2023

Adam was a knowledgeable and considerate guide, who made sure everyone was well-cared for. The food selections were outstanding, all of them delicious and an even “special” in that most non-New Yorkers would not know about them. However, everyone in our group seemed to enjoy the selections, so nothing was too far out taste-wise. I highly recommend this tour.

Food, fun and friends!

Marion_C, Apr 2023

This is as a fabulous way to spend an afternoon eating, touring Greenwich Villages nooks and hidden crannies! The food was tasty, diverse and plentiful! Ian was full of little stories of the area, fun and super friendly. I went solo but met many friends and even went out in the evening with them!! I highly recommend this tour for solo travelers, families, couples… everyone! FUN

Great fun

Barry_I, Apr 2023

Great food, great fun and great guide (Ian) Would recommend to anyone. The artichoke pizza is a must try

Highlight of our NYC trip!

Dan_M, Apr 2023

Adam, the tour guide, was outstanding. So chilled and very knowledgeable. Brilliant! Absolutely loved the tour and would definitely recommend to others.

Lots of great food!

Deborah_K, Apr 2023

So much food, all delicious, married with great walk & local history. Adam was a friendly & knowledgeable guide

Great Experience

Kelly_S, Apr 2023

Adam was very friendly, knowledgeable and personable. It felt like going on a tour with someone you already knew rather than a stranger you picked up at the cupcake store. :) All the food tastings were fantastic and there was a good variety. The area we walked was very scenic. I highly recommend this food tour!

This was a fantastic...

Cami_A, Apr 2023

This was a fantastic introduction to the history of Greenwich Village and the food of NYC. Everything was delicious and David was an amazing guide. We went back to several places during our stay.

All I had hoped for

Janel_G, Apr 2023

Great group, great guide, great food. The walk was easy enough,not too far, but still saw a lot. Highly recommended.

Fun Tour with David!

Kelly_N, Apr 2023

Great tour and our guide David was really funny, knowledgeable, and super entertaining! Go hungry because you will eat a ton of food!

Fun & delicious food tour!

Jenna_B, Mar 2023

Adam led a great food tour! He is funny, friendly & takes time with his guests. Lots of interesting TV & celebrity sights along the route as well. After the tour, he hung out with us for awhile talking about his day on 9/11 & his perspective as a NY native. He even guided us to the subway station. Thank you Adam for such a fun afternoon…oh, and the food was delicious too!!

Yum!! And Adam was awesome !

Carin_F, Mar 2023

The tour was fun and filling!! Adam was our tour guide. He did a great job of keeping everyone engaged, explaining the history as well as providing interesting anecdotes about the areas we explored and the food we ate. Everything was delicious and we were stuffed despite the walking. Adam was very funny!! Would highly recommend.

Awesome Grenwich Foid Tour!!!

Stephen_P, Mar 2023

Adam was amazing from the moment he said hello. Very knowledgeable, personal, and humorous. Great tou, would definitely recommend!!!

Excellent Tour, Well Worth The Money

Charlotte_B, Mar 2023

Food tour was wonderful, helped mainly by the addition of a large component of it being a walking tour with history about the area and lots of information. Our guide (didn't catch his name at the beginning and felt too embarrassed to ask!) was excellent. Projected his voice really clearly and was clearly passionate about the subject. Made sure everyone in the group was catered for and accounted for and remember my name the whole way through. There were a few children on our tour and he was also excellent with them. Only disappointment was the food I would say was good but not outstanding (a sentiment echoed by my friend also on the tour). It was great to try some local dishes and they were definitely tasty but 2 of the 6 spots were both pizza, and the others were tasty but not incredible or super unique. Pros: Tour guide was personable and friendly, there was a large component of a walking tour too which I didn't quite expect but was a very pleasant surprise, lots of local recommendations along the way and stopped at places such as the "Friends" apartment, food was well spaced out so we weren't uncomfortably full at any point Cons: Food was not super unique or amazing but was definitely tasty
