Customer Reviews
Walking through Greenwich was fantastic. We got really interesting information and delightful stories about the neighborhood. Steve, who clearly loves this district, led the tour and made the whole experience truly magical!
Wow! What a great tour and we had the best tour guide ever, Steve Krantz.... not only a native New Yorker but a local to Greenwich Village who has managed jazz clubs there. Steve really knew his stuff and this was the best and most informative walking tour of New York I have ever experienced, and I grew up in this city! Try to get Steve for a guide, you'll get more than your money's worth. Great job Steve!
Ask for Steve as your walking Tour Guide! He is a part of the very fabric of the W Village, treats you like a friend, and generously shares fascinating stories from personal experience. He is a wealth of knowledge about the history, influences, trends that have made the Village what "it used to be" and what it is today. He is a terrific story teller with a great sense of humor and a deep love and respect for the area and ALL its varied and colorful inhabitants! I am a petite 60+ female and, if you are from out of the country or out of town and want to feel protected, Steve knows the ins and outs of the area; you're more than safe with him!
