I used to live in NYC and came for a solo vacation alone and decided to take this tour because it sounded interesting and different, and definitely Steve knows how to bring the streets alive with his stories, the information he knows from living in the Greenwich Village area for so many years. It is not just walking, but you can see how much Steve is passionate about what he does, and he creates an experience that he really wants us, the people in the group, to get the best experience to enjoy our time with him. True joy and very eye-opening. It is a tour you do not need to be a tourist to take, if you live in the city it will teach you many things you didn't know about it.
