It was an unforgettable experience, thanks to Marc. His love and deep knowledge of the area were evident. He took us through the charming
streets of Greenwich Village, sharing fascinating stories of culture, architecture and famous residents. Some general and some involving his personal history as a long time resident. He was fully involved in many of the events of the area. It was an extra bonus with his love of the arts and music sharing details about its residents. While we were the only ones on the tour, he extended the length of the tour and allowed me to stop and take many photos. We are very grateful to have met him and will have awesome memories of this tour.

This tour is the most unique, underrated and interesting tour I have done in NYC (and in my 2 weeks in NYC I have done almost all the walking tours advertised!). Marc was at the meeting point early and even though I was the only one who booked that tour slot he kept the tour just for me! Marc is in his late 70s and has lived in the Village his entire life. He knows, met, dined with or has detailed information about artists, musicians, actors, dancers (and more) who lived and worked in the Greenwich Village which he will tell you along the way. Additionally, he adds personal stories, shows before and after pictures and tells you interesting history of each street in the Village.
Marc extended the tour and it lasted almost 3 hours where we zigzagged across EVERY street in the West Village. He does this for fun and to share his experiences and stories with others, so its a TRUE WITH-A-LOCAL TOUR. Absolutely grateful to have had this opportunity to learn first-hand from someone who saw and experienced it. This is the only tour you need to do for an authentic street by street tour of Greenwich Village! You end up seeing everything in-between the Meatpacking District to Soho.
Thank you very much Marc for a lovely stroll, sharing your personal stories and an above and beyond tour. Will definitely do it again when next in NYC.

Marc is an extraordinary guide. He has lived in grenwich village his whole life and has great stories about the neighborhood and the legends who have lived there. My dad is a history and music buff and he absolutely loved it. I’ve been on many guided tours around the world but this one with Marc was so unique because he is so connected with the life of it. I didn’t always know all the people Marc references but I still got a lot from the experience.
