Cool stories from an awesome guide - A revelatory morning in the Village! Nick knew just where to go. As we walked, he unspooled a fascinating narrative about a super cool neighborhood, from its beginnings to the present day. Hidden stories from behind the scenes full of stuff we never would have learned on our own. Highly recommended. (P.S. ask Nick where to go to eat after, he has great recs.)

Amazing guide and great stories - Nick was a terrific guide! I’m a history teacher and I learned an amazing amount. The tour is not just the usual touristy info—it’s a real story about what NYC is, was, and could be. We had a great time and we’re looking forward to another tour soon! Highly recommended.
