A bit of history mixed with delicious bites of food. - On my actual Birthday while in New York I booked this food tour. I really enjoyed taking the train in from Times Square to get to Greenwich Village. Our tour guide Greg was the best I could wish for and family has a lot of history in the community which he shared during our walk. A few fun facts learned along our route his grandmother being born and raised in the neighborhood, we actually saw her old home and we took an inside tour of one of the most beautiful churches his family has belong to for over a hundred years 😊. Every food stop was delicious he was very family with the owners and staff. I won’t tell everything we sampled so others can be surprised. One of the best highlights is our group surprising me with a birthday song and treat as I was walking back to the table. Of course they made me I was so touched ❤️ P.S. New York pizza does taste good! 😊 and I’m from Chicago home of the best pizza ever!

Great Italian Food Tour - Greg was great. He has vast knowledge of the area and many generations of his family lived there. I went with my daughter and we both think it’s a “must do” for tourists and locals alike!

Great Italian Food Tour - Greg is great. He has vast knowledge of the area, and has generations of family that grew up there. The food was also great. It was a hot day, but Greg always managed to find us shade and as much water as we needed. I went with my daughter and we both think it's a "must do" for tourists AND locals alike!

Great tour from a lifelong New Yorker and very special guy - Greg gave us an insider tour of Greenwich Village with some tasty Italy tidbits. His personal knowledge really brought life to the area; he comes from several generations of locals so he had stories of what life was like in the past. He is also very thoughtful—spent extra time helping us get reduced rate tickets for the subway. A great tour that made NYC come alive.
