Ross was an excellent guide who brought the history of Greenwich Village to life. He patiently answered many questions and had a wonderful blend of personal knowledge and experience along with the general history of the area. The food options were delightful and while I certainly would have enjoyed more pizza, we were well fed. Lovey variety of food and perfect timing between stops as well. Highly recommend!

Brendan was great and had so much knowledge about the neighborhoods we walked through. Our group loved the food, but some said they wished it was flipped. We had light small bites and then 3 heavy options at the end. My husband wished we would’ve had the full slice of pizza, but that was his only complaint. All in all, we loved it and it was a great way to start our day in the city!
