Greenwich Village Tour Customer Reviews

Average Rating: 5 stars out of 5
Greenwich Village Rock Tour

I bought this for my boyfriend for Christmas because he is a huge rock and roll buff and he loved it. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and you could tell he really enjoyed what he was talking about which made it much more enjoyable for all of us. Also, he had pictures to suppliment his stories so that was really cool to actually see how it used to look vs how it looks now. Personally I am not very familiar with the Rock and Roll era, but I must admit I did enjoy learning about all the history behind it all. The only thing I could complain about was the weather - it was absolutely freezing. Granted that wasn't the tour's fault, but if you can try to book your tour when it is going to be nice out because you are outside for over 2 hours. Also it wasn't that much walking so it was very manageable.
