Ot too interesting
Unlike tours in Europe most things that get pointed out are no longer there. So it becomes "this is where xxx was" rather than "this is xxx and here is the history ".

Interesting Take on Greenwich Village
There were only three of us on this tour and Marc was punctual and very charming . We covered a lot of territory and Marc seemed to know someone in every building he pointed out . I couldn’t keep with the names he was throwing out , famous names . We did like the fact that Marc lived in Greenwich Village since the 1950’s and knew his way around . He inserted his personal opinion on many changes in the village and told many personal family health problems his wife was experiencing in spite that he and his wife were leaving for Scotland the following day . All in all we found Marc charming and he really does love Greenwich Village . He even walked us to the restaurant we were having lunch .

Interesting tour of Greenwich Village.
My husband and I did the Greenwich Village walking tour with Marc on Saturday, Oct. 4. Marc was punctual, charming, and full of interesting stories. He was born and raised in the area so he really knew the history of the Village. I do have some comments though and suggestions for improving the experience. Marc seems to know a lot about the history but not so much about current happenings in the Village. We passed by 2 very popular restaurants that I knew about because of the well known chef and he knew nothing about them. No big deal, but it seemed his knowledge was restricted to the time period of 1960 - 2000. The other complaint we have is that 2/3 of time Marc told stories about himself, the famous people he knew, his mother, various relatives and where they were living, and personal stories we really had no interest in. We went along with it since he was very kind, passionate, and wanted to share the info but I would suggest leaving out personal family stories and stick to the subject of the Village, its people, and history. Marc is full of info and has had a very interesting life. We enjoyed hearing his stories but feel we missed out on more detailed information as so much time was spend hearing about himself, his wife, and family.

This is the Greenwich tour you need.
What an amazing man Marc is. He knows so much and is such a nice guy. I had a different tour in Greenwich Village 3 years ago. This tour is 10 times better.

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Greenwich Village Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Jersey City.
How much does Greenwich Village Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $35 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Jersey City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Greenwich Village Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Jersey City is not rushed.
Is Greenwich Village Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 26 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Jersey City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Greenwich Village Walking Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Greenwich Village Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Greenwich Village Walking Tour?
+
Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Jersey City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Jersey City and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Greenwich Village Walking Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Jersey City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Jersey City?
+
Jersey City offers Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island departures from Liberty State Park, skyline photo cruises, waterfront cycling and quick PATH access into Manhattan. On Outty we rank every Jersey City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Washington D.C., Niagara Falls & Philadelphia 3-Day Tour from NYC, Niagara Falls 2-Day Tour from NYC with Corning & Finger Lakes, 5-Day Niagara Falls, Toronto, Montreal and Quebec City from NYC. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Jersey City?
+
April to June and September to November. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Jersey City?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
