Greg is amazing, and I could not recommend this experience more! I recently moved to the Greenwich Village area, and this was the absolute best way to learn the rich history and (more importantly!) best food spots. Greg tailored the tour to my group’s requests, and made every detail special for us. His tours are great for any group - whether that be visitors to the city, locals wanting to learn more about their area, food lovers, etc.! This is also a great activity for those looking for COVID-19 friendly entertainment - Greg did a wonderful job making us feel safe the whole time! I can’t wait to book my next tour!

Wow, thanks for such a great five star review. I enjoy people from all over the world but it's always exciting to show my neighbors places I frequent it for years. Since you were smaller group it was fun to expose you to not just Italian food but other neighborhood cuisine's. I'm glad you found my Covid friendly with masks singing and jokes so entertaining. Thanks for such a great review and hope to see you soon. Greg

Getting a true taste of Greenwich Village, literally and figuratively. Greg took us to local food establishments I would not have visited on my own for an excellent "hidden gem" food tasting experience. In addition, along the way he provided a taste of local history, including family history that provided personal context to the tour/area. As much as I enjoyed this as a visitor, I would highly recommend this tour to a new resident of NY as you will quickly discover your new favorite local food establishments from a true "foodie".

I've been on dozens of walking tours all over the world, and this was my favorite by far. There are two reasons this was my favorite: 1. The FOOD is amazing, and 2. GREG is pure entertainment. I didn't expect to learn much about city and neighborhood history, but we ended up learning a mini NYC history lesson as we sampled pizza, meatballs, and gelato. We live in manhattan, so we're planning on trying the meatball tour or the pierogi tour next. See you soon Greg!

Hi Louis Thanks for the five star review. I'm thrilled you liked the pizza, gelato, meatballs and my singing. Greenwich Village has a rich history and it's wonderful to learn while walking with some amazing samples. Look forward to seeing you on the pirogi tour soon. Thank you
