Loved Angela and the tour. She had so much knowledge- as a NYer for the past 15 years I learned a lot ! And her communication style was perfect- clear, intelligent, she filled you with interesting facts in an entertaining way without excessive talking to fill space. Thanks Angela, you're a gem!

I had a wonderful time today! I really liked Greenwich Village, but it wouldn’t have been the same without Angela, the tour guide. It was not my first tour with Experience First, but she is the best guide I ever had. I loved the way she explained everything, the passion she has for the neighborhood and the way she shared that with us. It is true that you never stop discovering things about New York, but you can only do that with the right guide who tells you everything. I appreciated all her suggestions and recommendations on the food, the drinks, the music etc. Angela was just amazing! And I wait for her in Puglia, Italy!

Angela was an engaging storyteller. The tour was thorough and well paced. We covered a lot of ground, both literally and in the topics and time periods covered. Would absolutely recommend to tourists or locals who want to learn more about their city.

I met up with our Guide Dave, at the appointed time and I can only say that the tour was amazing. Dave included so much information which was extremely interesting and engaging, particularly regarding the artists, writers, actors , film stars etc who lived in the area at the time. A brilliant afternoon walking exploring and taking photo's, I just didn't want it to end.

Angela exceeded my expectations of the tour and led me to appreciate the specificity of the neighbourhood and its highlights for sightseeing, eating, having a drink etc. In addition to a solid knowledge of the recent history of Greenwich Village, she has a well modulated voice and clear pronunciation, which is important for non-native speakers and the loud street noise that at various times trapped us during the tour. He listened attentively to questions from different members of the group. In every explanation she made eye contact with everyone and did not focus on just a few members, as is often the case with some tour guides.

Dave was an excellent guide, making the best of a crowded Washington Square, then continued at a good but comfortable pace, taking us deeper in to the Village. We’ve explored on our own, but we learned lots of new and fun information!

The relaxed nature of walking around ‘The Village’. The subtleties of life for New Yorkers in this small part of the city. Interesting stories of past and present.
