Walking Tour of Greenwich Village, New Your

We highly recommend Patrick. He took time to connect with us and understand what would be of most interest to us. Patrick’s knowledge of the special features and history of Greenwich Village, plus the well known celebrities who had frequented the area during their lifetime was exceptional. Patrick shared his knowledge freely and made the history of the area come alive. A very enjoyable, entertaining and personal tour.

Greenwich is a must tour.

Ours was a semi private 2hour History tour of Greenwich Village through the decades. Our guide John was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot. He was also very pleasant and made our experience enjoyable. The two hour walk was enough for us, but we did stop and enjoy a Bistro experience afterwards.
