Our guide, Amanda, was wonderful. Full of knowledge, charismatic, and engaging. We felt like we were hanging out with a group of friends while enjoying some of the BEST food in the village. Each stop was delicious, some outside my comfort zone at first glance but would eat again. In fact, we went back to two of the spots the next day for more! Amanda is a wealth of knowledge and her excitement for the city was contagious. Highly recommend as a fun way to explore the city more like a local!

A Highlight of Our Trip

Bruce_H, May 2023

We thoroughly enjoyed our walking/eating tour of Greenwich Village! Allie was organized and made sure that everyone’s needs were met. She told us tons of interesting stories about the area and NYC in general. She is a delight—enthusiastic, warm, and fun! Last, but certainly NOT least, the food was DELICIOUS! A poll at the end asked for everyone’s top two favorites eats. The results hit every food stop on the tour. We would highly recommend this tour, and we also highly recommend Allie as your tour guide.

We had a really great time on our food tour! We stopped at six different spots and had fun tastes. Morgan did an excellent job of explaining each restaurant we visited, the food we were tasting, along with giving a very informative and interesting history tour as well. He was very attentive to each of the guests. The rain didn't get in the way of having a really amazing experience!
