This is by far one of the best things we’ve done during our week in NYC. Well researched history with an emphasis on intersectional justice and the struggles of marginalized peoples, shared by an engaging tour guide. Highly recommend you book!

This was such a great tour. Joe was a funny, kind, informative and welcoming guide and he handled everything with ease. Although some of the subject matter is heavy for obvious reasons, Joe made everything hopeful. This was a highlight of our NYC trip 😊

Sean_N

Learned a lot and enjoyed the tour! We enjoyed our tour guide - I can't remember his name at the moment. Take this as a reflection on me rather than him, because I'm just terrible with names and am too lazy to pull it up. Now I'm just making sure to fill Viator's 100 character review requirement, so it gets a bit off topic. Great tour though!

Maria_M

I can’t recommend the Pride Historical Tour enough - you’ll hear the story of this beautiful movement and learn so much about the Village along the way. Absolutely loved it.
