If you want to learn all about this fantastic neighborhood, a walking tour may be your best bet.

Typically clocking in at 2 hours in length, these trips will give you an entirely new appreciation for the Village.

This post explains the tour options in Greenwich Village offered by us, New York Tours by Foot.  

In addition to our general introduction to Greenwich Village walking tour, we also offer a ghost tour and a food tour.


Tours By Foot

Some of our tours are pay-what-you-wish, meaning that you get to decide how much your experience was worth.  

Alternatively, you can take as much time as you want to explore the Village at your own pace by taking our GPS-enabled audio tour, narrated by one of our tour guides.

Here's a sample.

It may be easiest just to check out the booking schedule for all of the Greenwich Village tours that we offer.

Dark Side & Ghosts of Greenwich Village at Night

As if the history of this neighborhood weren't weird enough, there are quite a few reported supernatural hot spots in the area as well.

Given all of the history of the Village, it shouldn't be too shocking to discover that there are also several disturbing stories to learn about.

Our main Greenwich Village Ghost tour includes stops at Mark Twain's House of Horrors, Aaron Burr's Haunted Carriage House and The White Horse Tavern.
