fascinating in depth tour of The Village

Excellent guide - brought history, architecture, political events of Greenwich Village to life. The little known details around Washington Square, the personalities - actors, authors, musicians, protestors - such great stories as we walked through the streets - Ending with a full description of the Stonewall riot - what caused it and how it changed society’s views

Wonderful way to...

Wonderful way to experience this New York neighborhood, both past and present. Our guide Joel was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He conveyed the rich history of the area, was able to trace how the area developed over the years and had great anecdotes and suggestions for how we could explore on our own after the tour. This was two hours well spent!
