First Rate Tour - Just recently my wife and I took a walking tour through Greenwich Village with David as our Guide. We were very impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. He was so personable,courteous, and attentive to our needs. He taught us about the history of the village and showed us the homes where celebrities lived or still live. He also showed us old photos and other visuals that added to the already wonderful experience. It was a cold, windy day, but David made the tour so interesting that we were able to tolerate it. He was amazing and I highly recommend using him for a tour.

New York Storytelling, at its Best! - My tour of Greenwich Village was an amazing burst of history, music, literature, and pop culture. My tour guide, Angela, a stand-up comic by night, really knew how to put together a story and make it compelling. She made Greenwich Village come to life for me. I am very grateful for the experience.

Don't miss this tour! - Dave's tour of Greenwich Village was amazing. His passion for the artists, writers, and the rich cultural history of the area was palpable from the moment the tour began. With each stop, Dave delved into intricate details about the iconic figures who once roamed these streets, painting vivid pictures of their lives and contributions to the artistic world.
