Immerse yourself in Greenwich Village’s rich history on this top-rated private tour.
With a guide dedicated to your group, you’ll hear the stories that shaped this bohemian neighborhood while exploring its historic streets.
Begin in Washington Square Park, a hub for performers, activists, and artists for more than a century. From there, wind through side streets once home to literary icons like Edgar Allan Poe and music legends such as Bob Dylan. Stop at must-see landmarks, including the Stonewall Inn, where the gay rights movement took root, and the instantly recognizable “Friends” apartment building.
Because this tour is private, it’s a more personal way to see the Village and understand what makes it unlike anywhere else in the city. Feel free to ask your guide for recommendations on what to see and do next. Our guides love sharing insider tips with travelers!
