Fantastic, fun and fact fueled - Guide gave us a historically rich tour with very poignant personal anecdotes. Fun tour and I wish we would have done this at the beginning of our trip and not the end.

Tour for mom and teen - Great tour with Steve, longtime resident of the area, who had so many great original stories to tell. He was very friendly, helpful and candid in the best way. My teen daughter and I had a great time. I wish I had more time to explore all we saw!

Great tour for mom and teen - Steve was an excellent tour guide. He is a long time resident of the neighborhood and had a lot of great stories to share. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The tour was a great way to see and learn about the neighborhood. I’m looking forward to visiting again and spending more time in Greenwich Village and hitting up some of the spots we passed.

Amazing tour - We did this tour with the guide Rob and it was amazing. Rob told us a lot of interesting things about Greenwich village and his English was perfectly understandable, so even if English is not our mother tongue, we understood everything. I highly recommend this tour and Rob!!!

Fantastic tour guide and lovely city atmosphere - Angela was great as a tour guide. She was so interesting to listen to and all the little details we learned about Greenwich Village were really good. You got a completely different side of Manhattan, much quieter and different building style than what you normally perceive as Manhattan. Greenwich Village is part of the old historically preserved district and you can see and feel it. Nevertheless, there was a really cozy atmosphere, where people were sitting and enjoying the lovely weather in small cafes. I can't recommend this trip enough, and if you're going to New York, then I really think you should prioritize this trip. (Bonus if Angela is tour guide). Best trip I've been on, at least.
