Great blend of history and food - We enjoyed the food tour. Everything we had during the tour was delicious. We also enjoyed learning some of the history of Greenwich Village and see its more "famous" sites. Alex C. was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable on the area and food choices. Well worth it!

Tour - The tour was amazing for a multitude of reasons, but what made the tour so special was our tour guide Dave Turk. Not only was he very knowledgeable about the historic areas that we visited, but he was also hilarious, friendly and very personable. There was never a dull moment. I had the best pastries, pizza, and tacos. I went on this trip with my young daughter . We had a great experience. I would highly Recommend this tour.

Very satisfied repeat customers! - This was the 3rd tour we have done with this company. Every time our guides have been very knowledgeable and the food has been incredible. On our most recent trip, our guide was Nicky. Nicky is a former 5th grade teacher and was wonderful with our 10 year old! We did the High Line Walking Tour followed by the Greenwich Village Food tour. He kept the tour interesting and engaging for the entire time!
Additionally, I have reached out to Alex (who was our guide on our very first tour about 8 years ago) many times over the years for restaurant recommendations when we visit the city. He is always helpful! We highly recommend this tour!

A fun way to eat and learn at the same time! - Nicky provided not only delicious food stops, but the history to go along with the neighborhoods. Stops included exterior filming spots for popular shows and several “celebrities” former apartments. There was a little something to keep everyone interested, including my 10 year-old grandson. A fun way to eat and learn at the same time!

Wonderful Greenwich Village Walking/Food Tour - I have been traveling to NYC for over 40 years and I believe that I have done most everything visitors love to do in the city. This May I went with two of my daughters to go to a couple of shows on Broadway. One of my daughters recommended a walking/food tour of the lower West side. To my surprise it was fantastic. David Turk was our guide and he was interesting, informative and fun. We learned history and trivia about Manhattan and stopped and sampled food at 5 uniquely Manhattan eateries. As we walked through neighborhoods, we saw multiple points of interest while learning both historical and contemporary items about the city. The entire experience was one of my favorite things I have done in NYC. Thank you, David Turk, for a most enjoyable time with my daughters and two other visitors from England that were on the walk with us.

Magnificent Greenwich Village Food tour - and more!!! - We spent 4 stupendous hours with Nicky. First two were a High Line tour with myself and two buddies. Nicky was full of historical information: Pritzker winning architectural gems, NYC historical perspectives, present day management of the High Line, and some arcane stories that only a dedicated tour guide would know. We then joined a lovely couple and their grand child for the Greenwich Village Food tour. No disappointments! We were amazed at the history of the Village (e.g. why are there different size staircases on the town houses??) and were full with NYC pizza, British pasties, French pastries, and a cupcake finale!! Nicky is friendly, full of information, and welcomes questions!!! Highly recommended. You will NOT be disappointed.

Great food and guide - Nicky gave a great tour with history and great food! Would recommend time and again. We learned that brown signs meant a historic district and the food also spanned ethnic boundaries
