You call, we listen, and then suggest the perfect day for you in the most interesting neighborhoods: Greenwich Village, Chinatown, Times Square and many more, sampling the best foods the City has to offer. This is nothing like a bus tour; it's a personal experience where the history is part of the tour, but the behind-the-scenes stories are part of us. « less

My wife and I spent a week in New York and our walking tour, which took place on our first full day after arriving, was by far our favourite day of the trip. Alex (our guide) was exceptionally knowledgeable and so approachable it felt more like exploring the city with a friend than a guide. The morning spent in and... More

We took the Greenwich village walking tour with Sarah in November and had a great time. since it was only us 2 and another person we had plenty of time to share and ask questions, it also gave me the opportunity to translate to my boyfriend, who does not speak a lot of english. Food was special an still gives... More

I am certain our walking tour group will be discussed for years to come - or at least we had so much fun Alex made me think we were that special. What was supposed to be a 2 hour food and walking tour of Greenwich Village - turned into a 5 hour tour with delicious beer pit stops along the... More

Another couple joined my husband and I on the culinary Greenwich Village Tour with Alex. What an incredible afternoon! It's not hard to impress me when you combine food with interesting historical sites, but my husband is immune to both of those temptations. His perfect afternoon is watching some sporting event--not going on a walking tour--so his comment that he... More

Gary was very knowledgeable and entertaining, and he answered all our questions with utmost patience. It was perfect to have all those samplings of local food establishments interspersed. We had a marvelous time. More

This was our first time in New York as a family and we wanted to see as much as possible in a short time. We would never have found these places on our own and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Alex was really easy company, we forgot we were on a tour. Will definitely take in a a MWTour on our... More

With is friendly persona the tour felt like we were hanging out with friends. There were three of us on the tour besides Alex...we all finished the day with big... More

Gary was our tour guide and was the perfect New Yorker who made our experience fun and informative. The style of individualised tour was fantastic. So much nicer than the goat herding tours we saw on our travels. Gary listened to what we wanted to achieve and took us on a tour that captured the history, stories and intrigue of... More
