LGBTQ history of NYC

This is the second time I take a tour with Greg while in NYC. He does a terrific job combining history and the past with the vibrant city of today. The LGBTQ tour gives insight into the challenges faced by gay people through time and how laws made their lives difficult. Pace of the tour was good, and Greg’s enthusiastic personality makes it all the more engaging. Highly recommend any of his tours!

Response from the operator: Hi, was thrilled walking with you again this time with Greenwich Village's LGBTQ history. So thrilled you enjoyed the food and history and hope to see you soon again.

A real NYC experience and tour

I found Greg through trip advisor when I was looking for things to do in west village/greenwich village before a show at the village vanguard. We went on the NYC Greenwich Village LGBTQIA+ History and Food Tour. I wanted my husband to have some more physical content on queer history in NYC and see some locations IRL. Greg was an ebullient tour guide and a real NYC character. His guidance totally added to the experience and made it feel even more authentic. The food along the way were also tasty bites, with my personal favorite being Van Leeuwen ice cream! Greg was super open to having conversation and answering our many questions. We have lived in the NYC area since 2014 and I even learned some new things about the history of the village area. It was a lovely way to spend an afternoon in NYC and Greg took great care of us. Highly recommended! 💖🙏🏻🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Response from the operator: Alden, It was a delight to share the story history of the Stonewall and surrounding neighborhood accompanied with your yummy bites. Thank you for walking with me the five star review and high recommendation. happy summers

LGBTQ+ History and Food Tour

The LGBTQ+ aspect of the tour was surface-level- often preaching to the choir- though we did see some iconic queer sights and spaces. As for the food…it totally lacked. In the provided picture, 3 of the dishes are from the same spot. Very little was said about the eateries or the bites themselves. By the end, our appetites were far from satisfied. A few days later, we enjoyed a much more comprehensive food tour in the form of Williamsburg Bites.

Response from the operator: How unfortunate you did not enjoy your tour! A food tour is not an entire meal. more samples were even provided celebrating your wedding. I spoke about the history of the eateries as well as the food. I share history and facts and do not preach. On your return please contact me for a discount on any of my other food tours with over 1,400 five star ratings between TripAdvisor and GOOGLE combined. Thank you for your valued feedback.

NYC Greenwich Village LGBTQ+ History And Food Tour: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New York.

How much does NYC Greenwich Village LGBTQ+ History And Food Tour cost?

+

Prices start at $89 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New York usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does NYC Greenwich Village LGBTQ+ History And Food 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 New York is not rushed.

Is NYC Greenwich Village LGBTQ+ History And Food Tour worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in New York, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule NYC Greenwich Village LGBTQ+ History And Food 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 NYC Greenwich Village LGBTQ+ History And Food Tour suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 7. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book NYC Greenwich Village LGBTQ+ History And Food Tour?

+

Around 6 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 New York 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 New York and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does NYC Greenwich Village LGBTQ+ History And Food 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 New York 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 New York?

+

New York has more bookable experiences than any other city on Outty, and the quality spread is brutal. Observation decks are commoditised, so we score them on timed-entry reliability and sunset slots. Food tours and borough walks are where the ranking really separates operators, and the top scores in the city all come from small-group guides. On Outty we rank every New York experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Grand Canyon VIP Helicopter Tour, Half-Day Bus Tour of NYC Top Highlights, NYC Bus Tour of Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens: Art, Food & Sports. 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 New York?

+

September to early November, and late April through June. 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 New York?

+

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.
