A fabulous tour of Greenwich Village! - We joined Greg on the LGBTQ+ History of Greenwich Village Tour with Food and it was amazing! Greg's knowledge, generosity of spirit, and warm hospitality made it a day to remember. He also did an incredible job of getting to know us and adapting his talk to meet the interests of my adolescent. We can't wait to plan our next tour.

Greenwich village tour - Greg is a wealth of knowledge. He took us on a tour by ourselves, yes that's right, he didn't cancel the tour because he only had one booking. For me this tour was far more about learning about the oppression of the lgbtqia+ community than it was about the food. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and we would definitely recommend it.

Best tour ever! - Greg is a wonderful tour guide! He took a group of students and I around and told us stories that really painted a vivid picture of NYC LGBTQ+ History. Greg works to be inclusive and create a warm, friendly, and fun environment for everyone in attendance. His energy and kind spirit really made it a day to remember!

Fantastic new discoveries of the Village history and foods - I got to have a one on one walking tour with Greg. It was great. I got some great history of the Village, as well as, introduction to some great food that I would not have discovered on my own.
