A fabulous tour of Greenwich Village! - We joined Greg on the LGBTQ+ History of Greenwich Village Tour with Food and it was amazing! Greg's knowledge, generosity of spirit, and warm hospitality made it a day to remember. He also did an incredible job of getting to know us and adapting his talk to meet the interests of my adolescent. We can't wait to plan our next tour.

Greenwich village tour - Greg is a wealth of knowledge. He took us on a tour by ourselves, yes that's right, he didn't cancel the tour because he only had one booking. For me this tour was far more about learning about the oppression of the lgbtqia+ community than it was about the food. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and we would definitely recommend it.
