Guide was friendly however the group was too large and started 20 minutes late due to late arrivals. In addition, there was a large party of over a dozen that did not speak English and was only interested in taking pictures which cause to continually wait for them.

My tour guide for this trip was Angela Sharp and all I would say is that this was one of the best tours I have ever taken. Thank you so much for this. Thank you for providing me with such a great experience. Angela did not only tell us the historical and art background to the places, she also added such a humorous element to the tour, that it kept us all so entertained. Additionally, since Angela is an authentic New Yorker, one could see the passion and the love she has for West Village and Greenwich. Not only this, Angela also sent us an email after the tour, which included a list of the places covered, song recommendations, food recommendations. Trust me, this was so helpful as I went back again and did the walk myself. Based on her recommendations and because I loved Greenwich so much, I went back there again (even though I had only 4 days in NYC). I also tried Bleecker Street Pizza based on her recommendations and it was FANTASTIC. I tried the cheese slice and the Vodka Sauce Slice and I am still dreaming about them, even though I am back in London. I would highly recommend this tour and especially Angela to anyone who plans to visit NYC and wants the perfect 2-3 hour experience in Greenwich.
