Our tour guide was Ian and he was friendly and fun. He knew a lot about Greenwich Village and led us on a tour of a number of foodie hot spots. We started at Artichoke Pizza which was amazing. Then on to 5 more places which included Cuban food, Hudson Bagels, and finished with Molly’s cupcakes. We took home our custom made cupcakes because we were too full. We have been on a few good tours and this was one of the best. A great way to tour an iconic neighbourhood.

We are so pleased you enjoyed our West Village food tour with Ian. He loves what he does and it shows. It gives us great pleasure to read you thought our food tour "was one of the best" you've been on. Join us on our Lower East Side food tour the next time you are in New York City.

We had a great time on our tour with Adam. He was fun, super informative and brought us to some great places. The walking guided tour was educational, fascinating & informative. The food was tasty and plentiful, an excellent variety of samples. This was definitely a great way to try some places we would not usually try on our own. I'd highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to explore the food and culture of NYC's neighborhoods. Can’t wait to book my next tour.

Matt is a great tour guide, full of history and stories about the neighbourhoods as well as the diverse food. It was great to have a variety of good New York food choices, all pre-arranged and waiting for us. Don’t eat first!
