Greg was friendly and possessed a vast wealth of social and historical knowledge of Greenwich Village, which was not just limited to the 60’s music scene. The food stops were a real treat so don’t eat before you go. Guided walking tours are always a great way to discover the hidden gems that would normally get overlooked and in this respect Greg’s tour did not disappoint!
Hi Janice! It’s always a thrill for me to share the music gems of Greenwich Village along with the amazing samples along the way. I’m grateful my tour did not disappoint and thank you so much for your five stars and high recommendation happy almost summer.
nice guy, good vibe, very little prep on his side, trivial sites, and the munchkins are mostly junk. Would have been an OK tour for $20
Yoav, how unfortunate you were disappointed with your tour! With 12 years of experience and thorough preparation, I strive to offer engaging and delicious experiences. The sites chosen are carefully curated, not triviaI. The plentiful samples far exceeded a $20 value including: a classic NYC Black & White cookie, a Taiwanese Sesame roll, a fresh classic NYC bagel with cream cheese, an Uzbeki Samsa with chicken, FAICCO's beef meatballs, fresh brewed Porto Rico coffee with rugelach, and per your party's request a classic Brazilian Brigadeiro. Dunkin Donuts' munchkins were not a sample and there are no $20 NYC walking food tours. Thank you for your input.
My music and food loving parents were visiting me in NYC and this tour was absolutely perfect for everyone! Greg is incredibly knowledgeable about the history of NYC and all genres of music. We truly got the whole picture of music and food in Greenwich Village, complete with stops at pizzerias, music stores, coffee shops, and more, with lots of music to supplement the story and lots of interactive moments. On top of that, he’s an exceptionally fun and nice person and felt like we were with a celebrity since he kept bumping into friends throughout the tour! Would recommend this to literally anybody visiting or local to NYC :)
Hi! Im always thrilled when my tourists enjoyed their music tour, which can sometimes include my singing. The music and the YUMMY food along the way makes for a great fun afternoon. And of course, all capped off by the delicious coffee of the neighborhood. Thanks for the 5 stars and high recommendation. GM
Greg was so fun to be with and see NYC/Greenwich Village through his eyes on such a cold and snowy day.
Hi Amy Thanks for the review and so grateful to be able to warm you up with yummy samples on a cold and snowy day. Happy new year.
Really enjoyed this tour of Greenwich village hosted by Greg. He provided fascinating insights into the rich musical history of the area. The food we took in along the way was delicious, especially some freshly made pizza. Would highly recommend this tour for any avid music fan
Thank you for the five stars and spending time with me in the iconic Village. enjoyed sharing music, history, and personal insights along with the yummy samples! Rock on!
Greg was fantastic! My boyfriend and I did the food and music tour, Greg was very informative about the history and music he was telling us about, and picked out some great food too. He is a very down-to-earth guy and is very passionate about what he does. We highly recommend!
Hi Hillary Thank you for the five star review and high recommendation. Guilty as charged, I love touring teaching about music while sharing yummy yummy food. So glad you loved the tour happy summer!
What a fascinating and educational tour with the a most lively and funny guide! Many “it happened right here” discussions. I had been by these places many times over the years and never knew the history. Greg brings photos and a small bluetooth speaker so that you can see and listen to stuff that he is talking about. Very worthwhile entertaining experience!
Thank you for walking on the music tour and for the five stars and high recommendation I’m always thrilled to share Greenwich, villages, music, history, and current vibrant music scene with fellow music lovers. Happy spring.
Thank you so much Greg for an amazing music and food tour. We loved all the quirky facts and musical references. The food stops were great and took us to places we wouldn’t have gone to if we didn’t go on the tour. Greg is a ball of energy and made the trip so fun from start to finish. He also is very knowledgeable about the area and all in all a 10/10 tour guide. A must do in NYC.
Hi Betsy Thank you for your five star review and 10/10 recommendation. I’m always thrilled to share the music history of Greenwich Village with locals and out-of-towners alike. Hope to see you again and happy spring.
Gorgeous, excellent, fantastic, or any positive and exquisite adjective to describe the afternoon spent with Greg. From NYC music historical places to typical eateries or coffee shops, Greg knows Greenwich like the back of his hand. It is worth the time and money to choose that guided visit.
