We took this tour with Steve, and he was absolutely brilliant! As a music fan, I was mainly interested in visiting some well-known spots, but the tour far exceeded my expectations. Steve took us to fascinating places, tailored stops to our interests, and shared captivating first-hand stories. His local knowledge is incredible, and he’s a great storyteller, so we learned a lot about the transformations of Greenwich Village and New York over the years. Highly recommended!

I really enjoyed this tour. Steve had a great way of relating his own personal experience living in this area for more than 50 years to the long and Rich history of Greenwich Village. He tried to include different stops that appealed to everyone on the tour, including a detour down Cornelia Street (for the Swift fans, ie, me) and had plenty of recommendations of jazz clubs and food in the area. Really loved it!
