5.00We had a wonderful time on our walking tour of the West Village and learning about the LGBTQ history that is everywhere in the neighborhood. Though it was raining, our guide, Jenna, was very engaging and provided warmth in her knowledge and enthusiasm for the subject matter! Highly recommend this tour for New Yorkers and visitors alike.

5.00Rachael was so knowledgeable and kept my and my teen’s interest for the whole tour. It was just the two of us so we got the opportunity to ask a lot of questions. There was great information about the history of the LGBTQIA community in New York and the involvement of many vulnerable groups.
A fascinating and thought-provoking tour

5.00I brought my teen for his birthday. We were able to experience the actual historic locations and the wealth of knowledge that Michael has. He has a binder of historical information and pictures to enhance the tour. He also gave a lot of general New York history which was good for my teen to know in context. Thank you, Michael!
I Learnt So Much!

5.00A wonderfully enlightening and educational tour with Michael... thoroughly enjoyed it! Working with "troubled teens", this helped me get to grips with some of the struggles my LGBTQ+ teens may face. Brilliant tour - just do it! 🌈

5.00Michael, our tour guide, was sooo nice, super knowledgeable, and extremely articulate. So much interesting information and it was cool to see such legendary landmarks! Michael expertly answered all questions in a respectful way and really was just a great host. The amount of walking wasn't bad at all, even in the heat, and the time flew by. It did not feel like 2 hours, and I wished there was time for more! Also LOVED seeing the LGBT Center!
Worth it for knowledge
