Great way to see Greenwich village with Jenn - Jenn was friendly and knowledgeable about the Greenwich village area. This tour was a great way to explore the area as we wouldn't have known where to go or what to look for by ourselves. Jenn showed us lots of points of interest we would otherwise have missed and shared the stories behind them. She was attentive to the group ensuring we kept out of the wind where possible, had breaks when needed, and answering all of our questions. A wonderful tour with a wonderful guide.

Angela’s Village ! - À great tour with Angela to close the year. She is definitely in love with Greenwich Village and shares many stories with passion. She makes you realize how incredible it is that a handful of acres has generated so many pieces of Arts for the entire World. Definetely a spécial place and a spécial tour guide.

Steve Rocks the Village! - This is the best NYC tour we’ve taken, by far. Our guide Steve is a 50-year resident of the Village, and his love for, and knowledge of, it shines through. Smart, personal and fun, Steve shared the history of Greenwich Village music, politics and culture in a way that brought everything to life. My daughter and I joined a couple from NZ and a young family from Italy, and we all enjoyed ourselves thoroughly, and had a fascinating and wide-ranging discussion on all manner of topics. Highly recommend!

Unmissable Walk around fascinating Greenwich Village - This is an amazing walk around Greenwich Village - I highly recommend. Angela is a witty, knowledgeable and very friendly guide; she walks at a fast pace but you need to in order to see all of the sites. Highlights were Jones Street (Freewheelin' Bob Dylan), Cafe Wha ?, Washington Park Square...but everywhere you stop, Angela has an interesting story to tell. This was a real highlight of my week in New York.

Great Insights - The tour provided an interesting insight into the history of the area and the people, politics and events that helped shape the culture of NYC. Coming from New Zealand this tour helped us appreciate this history and culture. Our guide, Steve, provided great stories and interesting context while showing us through Greenwich and the West Village.
