This is the second time I take a tour with Greg while in NYC. He does a terrific job combining history and the past with the vibrant city of today. The LGBTQ tour gives insight into the challenges faced by gay people through time and how laws made their lives difficult. Pace of the tour was good, and Greg’s enthusiastic personality makes it all the more engaging. Highly recommend any of his tours!
I found Greg through trip advisor when I was looking for things to do in west village/greenwich village before a show at the village vanguard. We went on the NYC Greenwich Village LGBTQIA+ History and Food Tour. I wanted my husband to have some more physical content on queer history in NYC and see some locations IRL. Greg was an ebullient tour guide and a real NYC character. His guidance totally added to the experience and made it feel even more authentic. The food along the way were also tasty bites, with my personal favorite being Van Leeuwen ice cream! Greg was super open to having conversation and answering our many questions. We have lived in the NYC area since 2014 and I even learned some new things about the history of the village area. It was a lovely way to spend an afternoon in NYC and Greg took great care of us. Highly recommended! 💖🙏🏻🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
The LGBTQ+ aspect of the tour was surface-level- often preaching to the choir- though we did see some iconic queer sights and spaces. As for the food…it totally lacked. In the provided picture, 3 of the dishes are from the same spot. Very little was said about the eateries or the bites themselves. By the end, our appetites were far from satisfied. A few days later, we enjoyed a much more comprehensive food tour in the form of Williamsburg Bites.
Amazing tour guide and trip! Would 100% recommend to anyone visiting the NYC area! I was able to learn a lot and visit cool places in a perfect amount of time.
This tour was amazing and I highly recommend to anyone! Greg was such a great tour guide and he is a great storyteller! Make sure you check out any of his tours while in NYC
Greg was absolutely engaging! He was very knowledgeable on all the history and provided information on everything we saw or talked about. 10/10 would go again!!!!
Had the very best time with the very best tour guide! Could not recommend this tour (or any tour of Greg's) more! Time well spent
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.
A lovely day with beautiful weather strolling in Greenwich Village with Greg learning about LGBTQ history in the area and snacking along the way. Thank you Greg.
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.
Great experience and fun to do as a group. Greg is very informative and answers questions from the group.
Loved the food, the tour stops and Greg’s perspective on queer history in the Village. Highly recommend to anyone with anyone with an interest in the New York queer community and those who love GOOD food.
Greg is an awesome tour guide! Passionate about LGBT history, delicious food spots, touching personal stories that add onto the historical context at hand. Highly recommend :)
Greg is a wonderful tour guide! He took a group of students and I around and told us stories that really painted a vivid picture of NYC LGBTQ+ History. Greg works to be inclusive and create a warm, friendly, and fun environment for everyone in attendance. His energy and kind spirit really made it a day to remember!
Enjoyable walking & food sampling tour through Greenwich village. Greg is passionate about his tours & personable. The meeting location was easy to find.
I got to have a one on one walking tour with Greg. It was great. I got some great history of the Village, as well as, introduction to some great food that I would not have discovered on my own.
Greg has amazing energy! We saw things we would have missed if we did not go on his tour- as a bonus our teen son stated “this is the best tour” !!!! We all learned a lot and laughed a lot! I hope to go on his Italian tour soon!
