Walk the Village that changed music forever.
Not a museum walk. A music-synced Village experience.
See it. Taste it. Hear it. Live it.
Step into Dylan’s Greenwich Village — alive with music, history, and flavor.
You’ll see the clubs where legends played, walk the streets where a movement began,
and taste the classic Village foods that defined an era — all with Dylan’s music playing as your soundtrack.
One tour. Three worlds: history, culture, and flavor — all in one unforgettable Village experience.

Meet Your Guide
I'm Freewheelin’ Evan — a NYC high school teacher with a deep love for Greenwich Village’s folk history and classic neighborhood food.
After taking every tour in the city, I decided to build my own — one that combines the best parts of them all: more movement, more music, and fewer forgettable facts.
This tour is about the stories, memories, and moments you'll actually take with you — not just the history, but the feeling.
Come with me and experience the Village like you'll never get anywhere else.
