This is an amazing walk around Greenwich Village - I highly recommend. Angela is a witty, knowledgeable and very friendly guide; she walks at a fast pace but you need to in order to see all of the sites. Highlights were Jones Street (Freewheelin' Bob Dylan), Cafe Wha ?, Washington Park Square...but everywhere you stop, Angela has an interesting story to tell. This was a real highlight of my week in New York.

The tour provided an interesting insight into the history of the area and the people, politics and events that helped shape the culture of NYC. Coming from New Zealand this tour helped us appreciate this history and culture. Our guide, Steve, provided great stories and interesting context while showing us through Greenwich and the West Village.

Steve was a highly informed tour guide. He gave us loads of history, told stories, answered our questions, and was absolutely delightful. We strongly recommend this walking tour!
