My wife and I enjoyed the tour and Matthew was excellent. He was knowledgeable and had a lot of energy. The tour also gave us a better feel for getting around NYC. It was so good that we are planning to go on other tours that Tripadvisor has with Matthew. I would also suggest not eating before going on the tour because there's 5 locations for sampling food...and the food was good.

Can’t think of a better way to learn about the history of the Lower East Side and experience its present than with our guide, Matthew. He lives and works in the area, knew so much about its past, the businesses knew him, and even ran into a friend along the way. With just 2 of us, our guide was engaging and connected with our personal interests about neighborhood. The food tastings were icing on the cake! We strongly recommend!

Wow. That was a lot of information. Paul was a great guide and very intelligent. I've been on a lot of tours, but nothing like this. Paul was open to all questions and answered all of them. The Pizza was my favorite. Delicious!

Met at the designated starting point, per my confirmation email for the Greenwich Village Walking Tour with Food Tasting....no one was there. We waited at least 15 minutes past the starting time, no one arrived. I called the phone number listed for the tour, no answer, had to leave a voicemail. I have since left a 2nd voicemail, no response. In the meantime, I'm out $75 for a tour that never took place! VERY UNHAPPY. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS TOUR!!!

We're sorry for your experience. There was no booking listed with www.walkwaytours.com - it seems you booked through a third party - so this review is meant for another company. Please in the future book directly with our company at www.walkwaytours.com to avoid any booking confusion. Thank you.

My husband and I have always loved history (I'm a teacher) and the East Village tour was incredibly informative. Really made my experience in NYC fantastic. Matthew was a great and comical.

My wife and I were traveling up from Louisiana with our teenage son. We took this tour in the West Village over the weekend stay. The food was great, the guide was smart and funny, and even our son loved it (and he doesn't love anything!)

The guide simply did not show up and the guide/ tour company did not notify us as we were waiting 30 minutes in 90 degree heat. No thank you! Matt needs to be fired as you can see below this has happened before.

We've researched this claim. Our guide, Matthew is recovering from a cancer diagnosis and is trying his best to re-enter the work force. Unfortunately, Matthew had to return to the hospital that week for serious tests. We had reached out to your third party booking agent (Viator) and had confirmed with them of this cancelation. Matthew is a hard working guide for our company. If any one questions his track record, please see the rest of the reviews for proof of this. Viator has also alerted us you have received a full refund.
Thank you.
Sincerely,

Bought these tickets for my sons birthday. He arrived early, waited for half hour after booking time and no one showed up. The phone number provided went straight to voicemail. When I called viator, they could not help us either. We never got notice that the tour was cancelled. What a wasted afternoon !! Very disappointed in both the tour company and viator

Matthew is friendly and knowledgeable. It was just my wife and I and one other couple on the tour, so it was pretty personalized. I've been to this area before, but learned a lot. The "tasting" part is accurate, it's not a huge amount of food, but all four places were great. Would definitely book another tour with WalkWay. Overall a great value.

What a great tour. We were the only two people on the tour so got personal treatment. Our guide, Matthew D'Abate was so knowledgeable about the area and about US history in general. Highly recommended.
