We have taken a variety of food tours in different cities through Viator and have never been disappointed. Our group was a nice size (9 people - of which we were 5), our guide was extremely personable and knowledgeable and my husband instantly bonded with him since he was also a UT (Tennessee) grad. We loved all the food - falafels, salami and Italian rice ball, Molly's cupcakes (we liked them so much we went back on our own another day), bagels and cream cheese, artichoke pizza and a cannoli. Greenwich Village is a beautiful area to walk around in. I would highly recommend this tour.

Although we are native New Yorkers, we weren't very familiar with Greenwich Village and its history. The tour was very informative and allowed us to visit parts of New York we'd never seen before. We felt like tourists! The food was good and the tour guide very entertaining. I would definitely do another food tour after this experience.
