We loved our food tour! Matt was a great guide and it was so fun to visit places and eat food we would have never found on our own. I absolutely recommend this food tour to anyone visiting the area!

I have no negative comments! Our Village Food Tour was everything we expected and more! Fantastic group of 13 "tourists" and 1 fun, knowledgeable guide. The relaxing pace allowed us to visit and interact with others in the group. Our guide, Alec, gave us interesting info on the local history as well as the current Village scene. The food was a delicious dynamic cultural experience. Just loved this NYC experience.

We had a group of 12 and did a private tour of the West Village. We did not do the alcohol package but ordered a variety of drinks on the first two stops. The tour has a tremendous amount of food so go hungry. Our guide was Alec. He was perfect for our group. Halfway thru the tour it started raining but that made it even more fun and Alec handled the rain well so didn't have to stand in it. I would do this tour again.
