Monia Bonaldo was a delightful tour guide! She planned ahead and arranged 3 magnificent stops along our tour of Greenwich Village. She is very knowledgeable of New York. She pointed out historical and other famous areas. I would definitely recommend any tour with Monia as your guide.

The rating would be lower but our tour guide, Chris, was a nice person. However, out of all the food tours I’ve been in (including the one we took later in the day after this one) this one was the least informative. I take food tours not just to eat (which I can google and do on my own) but to have some history or story about the places we go to. Also considering it was a private tour and the price was higher, to say I was very disappointed is an understatement.

Experiencing different foods is definitely the most fun way to explore NY's neighborhoods! Our guide, Chris Barron, was not only knowledgable, but flexible allowed us to go off the standard path when we saw sights and stores that interested us! and humorous too. A great afternoon!
