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.
