Spooky and historical fun - This tour was great! Brianna was a great tour guide, with a lot of knowledge of the Greenwich village area. We loved how knowledge of the city and its history was sewn into the ghost stories, and we got some insight on some events that were talked about in high school history class that we previously didn’t know! 10/10 would recommend.

Fantastic tour of the Ghosts of Greenwich village - Cecilia is a very passionate tour guide and through the stories she told, the ghosts of Greenwich village came alive. Not only did we learn of countless haunted ghosts who are said to make their appearances every now and again, Cecilia also shared many tidbits of the history of NYC. If you really want to experience NYC, my advice is to try and experience it from as many different angles as possible. A great way to get to know specific areas of the city is through guided tours which I would definitely recommend. Here's a shout-out to Cecilia: thank you for a fantastic tour! :)

Interesting ghost tour!! - Clair was fantastic! She was very informative on the history and the ghostly legends of New York. Most importantly, she was very cautious and made sure that we were all safe, crossing the streets and embarking into uncharted territory

Great ghost tour - Cecilia was an amazing tour guide and did a great job sharing some of macabre history of Greenwich Village with us. I wish there was a way to leave a tip for them electronically as I never carry cash.

SO SPOOKY AND FUN!! - Cecelia was DARLING! But that aside, super spooky tour but also historically informative. Super fun and exciting hearing all these stories! Places I’ve been to so many times and had no idea about the dark and morbid history that surrounded those places. Fascinating tour, highly recommend! I went with born and raised New Yorkers and they loved it and learned so much as well. Very eye opening and interestingly enough, it’s an incredible opportunity to honor the past and improve upon our future.

History and stories - Claire was a brilliant guide, super informative and welcomed questions! The tour was the just the right length for us and ended near to the nightlife for drinks. Disappointed we didn't see any ghosts but the rats were friendly enough!

Charged twice for turning up - maybe it was the ghosts - Tour was good but sadly I made an error and double booked my booking. The operator charged us for the error bookings as well as the two of us who turned up. Tried to call multiple times and emailed to explain what happened, but it appears we have been well and truly “ghosted” by the needy tour company.
