  • Immerse yourself in authentic New York life as you explore world-renowned sites like Washington Square Park, the Stonewall Inn and Cafe Wha?

  • Learn how the Village changed from a suburban hamlet into a musical, artistic, countercultural bohemian haven home to figures like Bob Dylan, Jack Kerouac and Jane Jacobs.

  • Visit the cafes, parks and odd historical sites that New Yorkers have loved for the past century, finishing with an optional stop at a local cafe recommended by your guide.

  • Option available for a private tour.
