Overview

Experience Greenwich Village through the eyes and footsteps of Bob Dylan on a small-group tour led by a local historian and lifelong Dylan researcher. Instead of scripted big-group tours, this walk is personal, slow-paced, and designed for true fans—featuring rare photos, deep storytelling, and access to hidden Village history most tours skip. You’ll stand on the exact spot of the Freewheelin’ album cover, explore iconic folk-era clubs, and enjoy included tastings from beloved Village food spots. This is the most authentic and detailed Dylan walking tour available in NYC.
