This was a brilliant way to start our trip to NYC. Alex was an excellent guide. She was very knowledgeable about the area and had lots of stories to share with us. We were lucky enough to be the only group with Alex so she was able to add some additional stops for us and give some personal recommendations for places to eat and visit. I would highly recommend this tour.

Alex was great! Love the food and the experience. My wife and I had a wonderful time! Highly recommend
Fantastic tour! Alex was a warm and friendly tour guide who demonstrated great knowledge at each of the food stops - sharing information, not only about the food but the people and communities involved in creating the food. She also shared lots of facts about the history of the area. Would highly recommend!
Alex was such a friendly and knowledgeable guide - she knew all the spots and had friends everywhere, giving the whole experience a “walking through your neighborhood” vibe! The food was great and the history was a wonderful bonus. We had two 12/13 year old boys with us and they gave Alex the highest compliment - “our tour guide was so chill.”
This was a fantastic tour! We loved all the stops for food as well as learning info about the area. We tried pizza places and dessert locations we had never been to before AND was able to skip the line for faster service because of our tour guide's connections! In my family I had a picky eater in it, and they were very pleased with the selections available and had no issues with the food provided. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for places to try in the Greenwich area. We were stuffed by the end so it's a good value for the price.
Fantastic tour the guide was amazing she had lots of energy with a mix of great history!
We are from Nottingham UK We had Alex as our guide and lucky for us only my husband I on it today we had Banana Pie Bleecker Street Pizza Janie Bakes Mama’s Two then Molly’s cupcakes . Lots of History Information and Alex is very knowledgeable and I would definitely recommend. Nice little touch she provides water 😊
Alex was a great tour guide, knowledgeable, and keeping the group engaged. I was rescheduled due to my original date did not have enough participants. She communicated in advance to help me reschedule. I really appreciated that! The tour itself was over 2 hrs long, we were given history and pop culture on the way, sampling different food & more refills. Did not feel rushed at all. Highly recommended if you are a tourist to NYC first time or just want to know about west village.
Awesome spots and good insight from Alex.
More than just food, pop culture added in.
Highly recommend the Sweets and Slices Greenwich Village Walking Food Tour! Alex was such a fun and friendly guide, and all the stops were very delicious. We enjoyed learning the history (both very old and recent) of the area and for each stop. Recommend going for the morning for a less crowded tour, but either way it's a great way for a first introduction to the area!
Amazing Experience! Thank you Alexandra for the best NYC tour! Had the best pizza in my life at Mama’s Too!
We had an amazing time on the food tour with Alexandria! She was incredibly knowledgeable, fun, and had that classic New Yorker attitude that honestly made the whole experience even better. One of the highlights was Mama’s Too — their buffalo chicken pizza and Philly cheesesteak were absolutely the best we had. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience great food and learn more about the area!
We had a great time on this Greenwich Village food walking tour. Our guide Alex was fantastic, super knowledgeable and shared a ton of cool facts about the neighborhood as we walked from stop to stop. It felt like a mix of a food tour and a mini history tour of Greenwich Village. The food itself was amazing. Every stop was good, but our favorite was definitely Mama’s Too pizza, easily some of the best pizza we had during our trip to New York City. If you’re visiting NYC and want a fun way to explore Greenwich Village while trying some really great local food, I’d definitely recommend this tour. Alex made the experience even better.
Alex was our tour guide and was great. Definitely knew her way around the city, and knew the best places to get food. Mama's Too and Molly's Cupcakes are spots we'll always revisit in NYC. Highly recommend this tour, and especially Alex if you can have her as your guide!
Best way to experience the cuisine of new york, tour guide was amazing and had tons of information. Felt safe the entire time !
Best experience I’ve ever had! The atmosphere was made great and food was amazing.
Such a fun time getting to know all the in's and out's of NYC, never doubted food reccomendations as they always exceeded expectations! Alex was super friendly and made the experience such a relaxing and enjoyable tour!
Alex was great, very knowledgeable, easy to talk to, tour was brilliant, food was great, well worth the money.
Loved our tour and would recommend if you’re visiting for the first time or have been to NYC multiple times! Alex is a born and raised New Yorker and loves the city. The food was incredible- Mama’s Too was our fav and the wait is normally so long, but we didn’t have to wait with Alex. She is knowledgeable about Greenwich Village and knows all sorts of fun facts and has unique recommendations that made our trip memorable.
Alex is such a knowledgeable and FUN tour guide. She truly wants to make your experience enjoyable and goes above and beyond. The gluten free cupcake from Molly’s on the tour was literally a piece of heaven—SO GOOD!!! Thank you for such a great experience. Would definitely book again!
I had an absolutely amazing experience on this tour! Alex was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the city’s food scene. We got to try a variety of iconic NYC top food spots. Mamas Too was some of the best pizza I’ve ever had. The flavors were unreal, and Alex made sure we knew exactly what to try. We also stopped at Molly’s Cupcakes in Greenwich Village. The cupcakes were delicious and fresh, and it was such a fun spot to experience. I’d recommend this tour to anyone visiting New York who wants to try some of the Big Apple’s best food spots.
I had an amazing experience! I got to learn about the culture and history of New York while discovering some incredible local restaurants. Alex made the tour feel so authentic, like I was a local myself; from great pizza to delicious desserts. Mama’s Pizza was so good!! And the cupcakes at Molly’s were hands down the best I’ve ever tasted. I also loved just walking the streets of New York. Overall, a 10 out of 10 experience!
Alex was an incredible tour guide! This was my third time visiting new york but definitely one of the most memorable. She had some of the best food spots selected, food and dessert options both equally as delicious. Her personality, charm, and charisma shine through very naturally. She helped bring all types of personalities in a group of 20+ people to feel comfortable. She is overall very funny and willing to adapt with any concerns (for us it was weather, either super hot days or very rainy). When there was extreme flooding in the subways she powered through and maintained a poised and humorous attitude. I admire her very much and cannot recommend her enough!
What a great well rounded tour where we got to try many popular treats and pizza places. Alex is an extremely knowledgeable and kind tour guide, telling stories about the local area and showing us interesting details about the local architecture and historical significance. Alex is very thoughtful and kept the tour at a steady pacing and we were never too tired. It was an interesting and fantastic way to see a slice of nyc. Dont hesitate to try this tour with Alex!
I really enjoyed this tour, we got to sample pizzas from two pizzarias and tried sweets from 3 different dessert shops. All were great!! We also go to see some cool landmarks in the area and learned interesting facts about each. Alex was a very knowledgeable guide!
Wonderful tour. I discovered so many fun facts and great places to eat in my own neighborhood. All thanks to Alex who is a great guide
Amazing and Personable Experience thanks to Alex! It was great to explore New York in a way that is not over touristy. Recommendations are top notch.
Alex the tour guide was awesome! Knowledgeable about the history of the area and the surrounding neighborhood. I got to explore a new neighborhood- moved here this year, but hadn’t explored much there. This was a great option for me. It was a nice balance of treats and walking. Take the tour - the food is yummy!
Best food tour. Alex was phenomenal. Loved the area the pizza and sweets. I loved Greenwich Village and the history……..

We enjoyed a great tour from Alex with delicious food interspersed with interesting history and cultural information about different parts of Greenwich Village.
I saw some incredible views and the tour guide had such a positive vibe and provided such a fun experience throughout the tour. I would highly recommend this for not just solo travelers but to everyone looking for a good time.
My husband and I had a few hours to hang out in the city so I booked this yummy tour. Alex was outstanding. She showed us places we have passed many times before but never knew the history!! The pizza and treats were amazing!! I liked it so much I would do it again!
Alex was a great guide. She is very personable and gives a great tour. She is very knowledgeable about everything she showed us. The food was amazing from the cupcakes, cookies and the various types of pizza. Everything was outstanding and we would do it again.
Loved the food stops and was so impressed with all the unique details Alex shared of the city and the buildings and food- she was so considerate and great attitude! Recommend her highly!!!!
Lovely tour with the perfect mix of great food and sites of recent and past history. Our guide, Alex, is a native New Yorker with an authentic voice and story of her own. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend Alex as a tour guide for first time New Yorkers! Despite the cold weather, she made exploring the city a warm and fantastic experience. Made great memories, saw beautiful sights, and enjoyed some good eats around the city. 100/10

Alex’s Greenwich Village food tour was incredible. It felt like spending time with a friend who knows all the best places to eat. Every stop had amazing food, from the best pizza to a dessert I can’t stop thinking about. Alex made it so fun with her stories about the neighborhood, and she really made the experience feel special. If you want to explore the Village and try great food, this tour is perfect!
Had an incredible time with Alex, she took us to such amazing attractions. My favorite moments was dinner at Joes pizza, and strolling through Washington Square Park! She shared insider tips, and was very informative. Had a fantastic day with her, I’d 100% recommend!
Alex is the best and very knowledgeable. I liked the sweets and pizza on the tour, and learned a lot about the neighborhood!
We truly enjoyed our time with Alex on this tour. It was a beautiful fall day to explore Chelsea, and the amount of walking was just right to help us digest all the food! We tried some amazing pizza and desserts. Alex was knowledgeable, flexible, kind and considerate. This was the perfect fit for a food tour for our family! She even gave us options for our last dessert spot and
