The Greenwich Village...

The Greenwich Village Tour was outstanding. It covers years and years of history that happened in GV area...history, famous people, famous houses, and more. Our tour guide, Patrick, was so very knowledgeable, as well as personable and engaging. Could not have asked for a better guide.

Best Greenwich Village Tour Ever!

Our Greenwich Village tour was a delightful time. We learned a lot about the history of the area. Our guide Joel made the tour a lot of fun and pointed out a lot of cool music venues, comedy clubs and speakeasies that we can't wait to explore next time we are in NYC. The tour really gave a feel for the neighborhood and why so many people love it.

Brings the Village to Life

Terrific tour of the History of Greenwich Village, NYC. Tour guide Percy lived in the Village and brought the neighborhood to life by sharing the rich history of this area of the city but also shared the vitality of the current Village scene.
