Private Secret Food Tour in NYC
We had a great time on our Greenwich Village food tour with Dena! She was friendly, fun, and really knowledgeable about the neighborhood and the NYC food scene. The food stops were all different and delicious, and the whole tour felt relaxed and never rushed. Dena made everyone feel welcome and made the experience even more enjoyable. Definitely recommend the tour — and Dena!
Response from the operator: It’s always a pleasure to share the local food scene with guests. We appreciate you choosing Secret Food Tours and spending time tasting and exploring alongside us. We hope you’ll join us at another table soon!

A fun way to see the best of Chinatown in Little Italy
We enjoyed our Secret Food Tour of Chinatown and Little Italy with Jason. He was relaxed, easy-going, and led an interesting tour that gave us a chance to see the highlights of both neighborhoods. Most of the food was very good, and Jason did an excellent job coordinating everything so that our food was ready when we arrived at each stop. The tour moved along smoothly without a lot of waiting around. One thing to be aware of when booking through Secret Food Tours: read the fine print regarding weather. The company’s policy is that tours go on rain or shine, with no cancellations or refunds because of rain. This is a company policy and, of course, not something within Jason’s control. We had light intermittent rain on the day of our tour and debated whether to go, but we’re glad we did. In fact, the rain probably worked in our favor because the streets were a little less crowded. Jason also did a nice job adapting the tour to the weather. Instead of having us eat our cannoli standing at the counter as originally planned, he arranged for us to have them seated inside a restaurant so we could stay dry. We really appreciated his thoughtfulness and flexibility. Overall, it was an enjoyable and interesting way to experience Chinatown and Little Italy, and Jason did a very good job as our guide. And as it turned out, a little rain didn’t hurt the experience at all.
Response from the operator: Local places can say a lot about a city. We’re pleased you enjoyed discovering some of them with us and taking in the neighborhoods along the way. We hope those recommendations prove useful later!

Greenwich village food tour
Had a fantastic food tour of Greenwich village, NYC with Zach H. yesterday AM. Zach is new to the NYC tour scene but did a beautiful job of leading us to 6 tasty spots and explaining some unique facts and history of the area. He showed great enthusiasm and would highly recommend the tour as well as Zach
Response from the operator: We truly enjoyed reading your comments. It’s always rewarding to know our guests enjoyed both the food and the stories behind the places we visit. Thank you for being part of Secret Food Tours!

Wonderful!
Wonderful experience. Dena was interesting, knowledgeable and pleasant. Her pace was perfect. The food choices were outstanding. Loved the little side trips to see things unrelated to food. Fun and unexpected. Definitely recommend this tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We hope the tour gave you a different way to experience the destination and complemented the rest of your travels. We’re grateful Secret Food Tours had a place in your itinerary.

New York Private Food Tour with 6+ Tastings in Greenwich Village: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New York.
How much does New York Private Food Tour with 6+ Tastings in Greenwich Village cost?
+
Prices start at $340 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New York usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does New York Private Food Tour with 6+ Tastings in Greenwich Village take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New York is not rushed.
Is New York Private Food Tour with 6+ Tastings in Greenwich Village worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 128 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in New York, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule New York Private Food Tour with 6+ Tastings in Greenwich Village?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is New York Private Food Tour with 6+ Tastings in Greenwich Village suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book New York Private Food Tour with 6+ Tastings in Greenwich Village?
+
Around 45 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New York can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New York and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does New York Private Food Tour with 6+ Tastings in Greenwich Village start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New York within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in New York?
+
New York has more bookable experiences than any other city on Outty, and the quality spread is brutal. Observation decks are commoditised, so we score them on timed-entry reliability and sunset slots. Food tours and borough walks are where the ranking really separates operators, and the top scores in the city all come from small-group guides. On Outty we rank every New York experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include NYC Bus Tour of Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens: Art, Food & Sports, Half-Day Bus Tour of NYC Top Highlights, SoHo, Little Italy, and Chinatown Walking Tour in New York. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit New York?
+
September to early November, and late April through June. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in New York?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
