Q&A

Q: Is this tour suitable for kids? What’s the age limit?

A: This tour is great for families, but it might be better suited for older kids, like 10 and up. They might actually enjoy the storytelling and history behind Greenwich Village! Just keep in mind that it’s a walking tour, so some stamina is needed. There's no specific age limit, but if you have little ones, maybe bring a stroller or plan for breaks.

Q: Can you reschedule the tour if you can’t make it on the day you booked?

A: You don’t really have to worry about rescheduling because once you book, you get unlimited access to the tour before and after your original booking date! So if something comes up, just plan to go another time - it’s super flexible!

Q: What should I wear for this walking tour? Comfortable shoes?

A: Absolutely, comfortable shoes are a must! You’ll be walking around Greenwich Village, and some of the streets can get a bit uneven. Dress casually, maybe check the weather too so you can layer up or bring an umbrella if it looks like rain. Keeping it comfy will let you enjoy the tour more!

Just did the Stonewall and Gaslight tour and it was amazing!

I just finished the self-guided tour of Greenwich Village, and wow, it was so informative! I loved how I could start whenever I wanted and linger at the spots that interested me. The stories about Dave Van Ronk brought a whole new vibe to the area. Highly recommend it for anyone who loves both history and music! Also, I did it on a Tuesday morning and it was pretty quiet, which made it even better.

Thinking of gifting the tour to my parents!

Hey everyone! I’m considering getting this self-guided tour of Greenwich Village for my parents. They love NYC history and music, so this seems perfect. Just wondering if anyone’s had good experiences with it, or if there are any hidden gems along the route that I should know about?
