New York City Greenwich Village 3 Hour Private Walking Tour

Огляд
Bob Dylan. Andy Warhol. Edgar Allen Poe. The list of legendary residents of New York City’s Greenwich Village goes on, and we’ll be exploring their legacies and the surprising fringe history of this vibrant neighborhood.

You’ll start your walking tour in Washington Square, famed for its iconic Memorial Arch and less known for its early Native American village and later designation as “Little Africa”.

As our tour sets off into the neighborhood, your guide will explain the cultural significance of Greenwich Village as a place where art and counterculture flourished. You’ll hear stories of street buskers, painters, and writers, both famous and obscure.

You’ll also see firsthand the neighborhood’s transformation following years of gentrification and its struggle to preserve its history in the face of an expanding university.

We’ll end at one of the neighborhood’s most significant landmarks, the Stonewall Inn, where you’ll learn about the riots that fueled the fight for LGBTQ rights.

I am very pleased that I decided to join some friends for a private We Venture tour of the West Village. While I have lived either in or near Manhattan for close to 40 years, I learned quite a bit more about the rich history of this area of NYC. I saw some previously familiar streets and sites with new eyes, and other notable landmarks were brough to my attention for the first time. Our guide, Jessie, was exceptionally knowledgeable and delivered a fun and thoroughly engaging tour. We learned about the evolution of the area and its history of activism, with stories and details that went beyond the typical sightseeing tour or standard guidebook. I also appreciate that We Venture supports local businesses by providing the opportunity during the tour to experience local establishments. Out of the different choices presented, we chose to visit a top-rated craft cocktail bar, as our tour time happened to sync up nicely with happy hour. Whether you're a first-time visitor to NYC or a seasoned local looking to discover new facets of your city, I would highly recommend a We Venture tour.
