A real NYC experience and tour - 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! 💖🙏🏻🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

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.

LGBTQ+ History and Food Tour - 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.
