Tasty & History! - Morgan was a great tour guide, sharing a lot of history about the Greenwich Village area of NYC and also sharing some of his fave food spots. He offered us some say in our experience and that was appreciated. The food was all delicious and would be classed as casual, think taco and falafel sandwich with a donut and asian fusion joint thrown in. Lots of fun!

Must Do: NYC with Morgan - This was an incredible tour! 10/10 for our tour guide Morgan. Our work team had an amazing time on the Village Night tour. The food was awesome, but what really made the experience special was Morgan's passion for the city and the people that made and make it. His knowledge of NYC history, culture, and pop culture was impressive. He took us to special places like the Stonewall Inn and the Cafe Society, sharing fascinating stories along the way. Morgan was also super accommodating, customizing the tour to our interests and pace. We highly recommend him and his tours!

Very cool - This was a great tour. 3 hours walking and learning the the history of the village & NYC. We had about 5 stops for food, including tacos, pizza & falafel and a stop at the oldest coolest bar in the village. Morgan was a fun informative guide he focused on our interest, which was great since only 2 of us were on the tour. Highly recommended a great way to spend an autumn night in NYC with a friendly enthusiastic guide.

If your experience is anything like ours this will be a very well spent couple of hours of your visit! - If you like seeing things up close, sights and sounds you might otherwise miss (or might be intimidated trying to dive in and get acquainted with) then this tour should be on your list! We visit New York when we can to soak up the bigness and smallness of it. We of course dig the grandness of Central Park, enjoying a Broadway show, feeling the Times Square's energy, and checking out attractions like the Edge Sky Deck or walking the Highline. But come on, this is one of the most densely populated places in the world. It's where you can easily and effectively contrast the big stuff that got you here, with the granular, street level stuff. Does experiencing the character of a Manhattan neighborhood appeal to you? This may be your flash pass. It was for us. When I saw this walking tour's description and sample itinerary on Viator it was an instant yes! The booking was easy, the communication clear and prompt, the instructions easy to follow. We met Morgan our guide at the designated, easy-to-find and get-to location and we instantly clicked. He quizzed us on things we might want to include, and from there was a delight to walk and talk with, listen and learn from, and enjoy the dynamics of life in the West Village from someone who has curated a wealth of knowledge about, well...everything? The food stops were fun, varied, tasty, and tailored to our liking. There you are, exploring places you might otherwise walk by in the inevitable "travelers uncertainty" one has when visiting a new place and not quite knowing what you're looking at. We covered so much during our time together—visually and verbally exploring everything...from historically significant places, stories of some of the people and icons who had a hand in shaping the place, right down to the nitty-gritty of the area and street we were on, all while bouncing amongst those that call it home. It was comfortable, casual, and probably not something you'd effectively accomplish trying to do it on your own. The time flew by! Be bold, you're in New York..consider this tour.

Morgan is a fantastic character - Morgan as awesome - he's super go-with-the-flow, so we got to explore different areas and go to hole in the wall places. He had such cool information, not just about the history of the locations, but about random graffiti on the street and anecdotes about the areas. It was a really fun tour, I would definitely do another tour with him!

Great time with Morgan! Highly recommend his tour. - Morgan's tour felt very customized to our group and we all thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. The food was incredible, the historical insights were fascinating (even as a lifelong New Yorker), and Morgan's genuine adoration of NYC was palpable and infectious. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys learning, trying new food spots, and exploring the unique magic of NYC.

Morgan slays Village food & queer history - Morgan has done his research! As our questions intensified about the place that is The Village and its role in America’s/New York’s counterculture movements he exceeded all of our expectations and it was so much fun!! My Queer group was taken to LaLanterna de Vittorio, America’s earliest Lesbian Bar (100 years ago) and we had Eve’s tea!! As an Italian who cooks, the rucola parmigiano & Lasagna Bolognese was exceptional. Arturos for drinks and a pie THE BEST! and it had a jazz pianist! The walk thru Washington Square Park and its history and fun vibe was perfect on our way to the new STONEWALL INN and Park. For us it was symbolic and profound in its role that helped us live into our authentic selves. I can highly recommend this Tour and Morgan!! Jean Iannelli Craciun
