A Wonderful Evening Tour of the West Village! - I am very pleased that I decided to join some friends for a private We Venture tour of the West Village. While I have lived either in or near Manhattan for close to 40 years, I learned quite a bit more about the rich history of this area of NYC. I saw some previously familiar streets and sites with new eyes, and other notable landmarks were brough to my attention for the first time. Our guide, Jessie, was exceptionally knowledgeable and delivered a fun and thoroughly engaging tour. We learned about the evolution of the area and its history of activism, with stories and details that went beyond the typical sightseeing tour or standard guidebook. I also appreciate that We Venture supports local businesses by providing the opportunity during the tour to experience local establishments. Out of the different choices presented, we chose to visit a top-rated craft cocktail bar, as our tour time happened to sync up nicely with happy hour. Whether you're a first-time visitor to NYC or a seasoned local looking to discover new facets of your city, I would highly recommend a We Venture tour.

Greenwich Village Walking Tour with Bar Crawl Aspect - Jessie was such an awesome tour guide. We had a blast doing a west village walking tour with 3 awesome bars. We had Happy Hour special drinks in each place and got a full history of each of the bars we visited and learned about very interesting key spots along the way. Jessie was great. She was super informative and really just fun to learn from. I definitely recommend taking one of her tours for your group as well!
