Anyone can see a collection of random sights in Village — but few know its secrets. Join this small group experience to get to hear the hidden histories of the neighborhood's most iconic locales.

Uncover behind-the-scenes stories of the Village's most notable sites, like a secret door hidden in the Washington Square Arch
Learn how the Village changed from a suburban hamlet into a musical, artistic, countercultural bohemian haven home to figures like Bob Dylan, Jack Kerouac and Jane Jacobs
Visit Cafe Wha? and the other musical havens of MacDougal Street to recreate music history
Stand where the gay rights movement began as you visit the Stonewall Inn
Pose for some of the Village's best photo ops, including outside the Friends Apartment and on Bob Dylan's old street
Small group capped at 15 to ensure a personalized experience. You'll get to ask your guide questions rather than being lost in a massive crowd
Option available for a private tour
