Marie was amazing!! Our tour of Greenwich Village included many great bites and some historic stops that Marie informed our group on. The portions were great and the food was favorable. We even went back to one of the stops for a full meal and used one of the coupons from the brochure!! Marie was so welcoming, fun, and accommodating when the weather was unexpectedly cold. She made the tour very personable, remembering all of our names and wishing my partner a happy birthday! We recommend comfy shoes and triple checking the weather the morning of. Great experience!

Response from the owner

Thank you, Ivy! We're so glad you enjoyed your tour with Marie and appreciated her warmth and knowledge. It's wonderful to hear that you had a memorable experience and made the most of your time in Greenwich Village. We appreciate your recommendations and hope to see you again soon!

This tour was really fun, Cindy did an amazing job. I loved all of her comedic jokes and timing. She was very knowledgeable about the Greenwich neighborhood history. You can tell she takes a lot of pride in what she does. If you ever have a chance to take this tour, you are in for great time. Even with the rainy weather she kept the tour entertaining. There were a lot of great stops along the way and amazing foods. 100/10 would recommend.

Response from the owner

Thank you, Tad! We're so glad you had a fun time on the tour and enjoyed Cindy's comedic style and knowledge of Greenwich's history. Your recommendation means a lot to us!

Foods of NYTours was a fun walkabout in Greenwich Village on Mother’s Day. We had a large selection of delicious meals, some more than just “tastings.” Butter chicken/basmati rice/chocolates/margherita pizza/house made pasta and tiramisu were all amazing! Our guide, Rick, made the walk enjoyable and filled us with information along with the food. Be sure to arrive hungry!!

Response from the owner

Thank you, Lucy! We're glad you had a fun time exploring Greenwich Village and enjoyed the delicious meals. Rick is indeed fantastic at making the experience enjoyable and informative. We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again soon!

This was my second time booking with Foods of NY, and all I can say is how truly amazing they are. I am president of our Culinary Student Association at The Academy of Culinary Arts, and we took the Original Greenwich Village tour with our fantastic tour guide Robin. Robin was incredibly kind and shared so much information during the tour. Our group had 20 people, which can be challenging to manage, but she handled it like a pro and was very accommodating the entire time. We had one of our chefs in a wheelchair, and Robin was so helpful and made it easy for us to walk through the tour comfortably. Thank you to Foods of NY for another incredible experience, and we are already planning to come back again.

Response from the owner

Thank you, Amy! We appreciate your kind words and are so glad to hear that you and your group enjoyed the Original Greenwich Village tour with Robin. It's wonderful to know she made the experience accommodating and enjoyable for everyone. We look forward to welcoming you back for another incredible adventure!

This tour was over and above what I expected! Our guide, Cindy, was so knowledgeable about the history of the restaurants we visited and also so many of the places we passed by. The food tasting was incredible and I will recommend them to all my NYC and Jersey friends and family. It was so fun to walk into a place that was cozy, beautiful, authentic…I would never know how to choose from all the great restaurants on my own. I will certainly visit these again and take more tours whenever I visit NYC.

Response from the owner

Thank you, Jayne! We're so glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour and found Cindy's insights valuable. It's wonderful to know that you had such a great experience with the food and the atmosphere of the restaurants. We look forward to welcoming you back for more adventures in NYC!

We went on a Greenwich Village tour. It was the first, but definitely not the last time I will go on one of their tours. We all had so much fun. I played tourist for the day, being the only person who was born in NYC.<br><br>We tried such great food. It was a lovely, sunny day, got to know new friends, and visit places I never knew existed.<br><br>We saw where Taylor Swift stayed for 6 months, and where so many other famous people lived in th Village. Out tour guide was so knowledgeable.

Response from the owner

Thank you, Diana! I'm glad to hear you had such a fun time on the Greenwich Village tour and got to discover new places and enjoy great food. It's wonderful that you were able to connect with others and learn from our knowledgeable guide. We look forward to seeing you on your next adventure!

We took the Nolita’s Past and Present food tour. Burt was our guide. He gave us a wonderful food tour. He was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of history of the neighborhoods and restaurants! The food was delicious and had a nice variety. I would definitely recommend this and look forward to trying some of the other food tour options in the future!

Just finished a Greenwich Village Original food tour hosted by Robin! She was one of the best food tour hosts we’ve ever had in NYC. Highly recommend her to anyone who wants real world stories and the best food bites in the city. Ask for Robin and you won’t be disappointed.

We had a lovely tour of Chelsea Marketplace with Joe and really enjoyed the morning. Our family had a small snafu with getting there and ended up 4min late, but the company was quick to answer my call and the group was able to wait for our arrival without anyone missing a thing. We really love food tours because you learn the history while being fed and Joe did a great job with this balance. Would absolutely recommend this tour and Joe as your guide.

Response from the owner

Thank you, A H! We're so glad you enjoyed your tour of Chelsea Marketplace with Joe and appreciated the office assistance with your arrival. It's wonderful to hear that you loved the balance of history and food. We truly appreciate your recommendation!

Cindy, our Chelsea Highline Tour guide, was amazing. She was so informative, personable, engaging and entertaining. She made sure to check on all of our food needs, allergies, restrictions, etc. She is the tour guide to seek out if you're doing the Chelsea tour. The food was delicious. Everything we ate was top tier. We learned so much about Chelsea Market, the Meat Packing District, and the surrounding areas. Highly recommend!!! My family will definitely be seeking out another of the Foods of NY Tours especially the Greenwich Village tour because Cindy does that one, too. :)

Response from the owner

Thank you, Carmen! We're so glad you had a wonderful time on the Chelsea Highline Tour with Cindy and enjoyed the delicious food. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you and your family on the Greenwich Village tour soon!

Chip was a great guide! He was very knowledgeable of the entire “Village” area and very patient with with us “professional” shoppers!<br>The only drawback is BRING WATER! Seated meals provide water but as you chow down your pizza’s you get very thirsty. A coupon for a discounted bottle of water would be great!

Response from the owner

Thank you, Maty, for your kind words about Chip's guidance and patience! We're glad you enjoyed exploring the "Village" area and appreciate your suggestion about water. We hope to see you again soon!
