The local tour guide Steve - Our guide Steve was great, very kind and with the sense of humor. He told us many interesting facts and showed interesting places about/in Greenwich Village. The 2.5 hour tour passed very quickly!

See Greenwich Village With a Local - Steve gave us an outstanding tour of Greenwich Village that included history, culture, food and celebrities. I loved his New Yorker point of view because he loves this place.

Greenwich Village - Our tour was great! The tour guide Steve has lived in Greenwich village for 50 years and shared lots of information about the Village from many decades. He has a deep understanding of the changes that have happened over time. It was a pleasure to listen to him

Steve knows Greenwich because he is a local guy - Steve was a great guide I really liked how he mixed old Greenwich with the new Greenwich. It made it all the more interesting. He was funny warm and had a lot of local knowledge as he was a local guy. This made it all the more interesting and original view point. 5 stars to Steve. I cannot praise his tour higher.

Greenwich Village family visit - Very interesting and personalized tour of the neighborhood. Focus on the world of entertainment, jazz/rock bar and theatres, which Steve, our guide knew by heart. Pleased older people (79 years) as well as teenagers (12, 16 years).

Insightful tour with local legend Steve - I was visiting NYC from Manchester, England and took the Artistic, Alternative Greenwich Village Walking Tour. Our guide was Steve, who was fantastic. He’s a proper Village resident of 50 years (locals kept coming up to tell us what a legend he is!) which meant he could give us a real perspective and insight on what’s changed and why. Really enjoyed learning about a part of the city I’ve not spent much time in before.

Fantastic Tour! - Very entertaining and engaging. We learned so much history while laughing and having a blast with Angela. Angela was also attentive to our group's needs and helped us with resources and breaks when needed. As a native New Yorker who brought their family on this tour, I highly recommend it!
