Had a wonderful time with Matt during the Greenwich/West Village food tour today. Matt was so personable and loved all the interesting tidbits of information during our walk. Best of all the food was delish! There were four of us ( my husband and I long time native New Yorkers) on the tour and all were more than satisfied foodwise by the end. We couldn't decide which was our favorite food stop. It was well organized and even the rain couldn't dampen our spirits and fun!

We had Adam as our guide, and couldn't have been happier. He did a great job answering questions, while providing interesting facts about the area.

Matt was beyond a super tour guide! He made the tour awesome with his knowledge and very friendly manner. He gave us such interesting tidbits of history - in just the right dose! If it's too much history then I lose interest, but I stayed so intrigued listening to Matt. Food was chosen very well. It was delicious and we will definitely return to these establishments on our own! Memorable special day! I'm so happy that my thoughtful husband gave this to me for my birthday!!
