Well worth it - Our guide Rachel was the best and gave us local tips and trivia along the way. We stopped at a fabulous Doughnut shop and Rachel took photos of us in the iconic Washington Square Park. Along the way, Rachel provided suggestions for nice eateries and bars. Rachel was happy to answer any questions we had about the different areas and provided in-depth backstories to the different stops we had along the way. Well worth the money and overall a greatly enjoyable experience.

Great walk through Greenwich Village - A lovely guided tour through Greenwich Village with Katie. She was a very friendly and well organized guide with a huge knowledge about the place. The tour was in a small group of about 12 people. So you had enough time to talk with your guide and ask as many questions. Katie was very helpful and gave a lot of additional suggestions (in which stand-up-comedy-show / which bars are the best / ...). The tour is included in the NewYork pass and is an interesting walk after the big museums. Be sure to dress properly (it could be cold) - although there was a brief stop to get a coffee or a slice of pizza. Enjoy your tour and the interesting information which comes along with it.
