Fun couple hours learning a different side of NYC - My girlfriend and I took the tour with Mary and we both enjoyed it. Mary seems not only knowledgeable but has this witty personality that made her one liners kinda funny. She was engaging, kept things at a good pace and was enjoyable having as our tour guide!

Amazing Tour - I love Tours By Foot NYC. They always have quality tours. Their Ghosts of Greenwich Village tour took us through Washington Square Park, to the tragic Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, Mark Twain's house, an old speakeasy, as well as a site connected to Vice President Aaron Burr! I feel like this tour is suitable for both ghost tour fans, those who want to try something unique, as well as people who just enjoy history and would love to take a night tour! Try Tours By Foot NYC!

Fun Tour - Ghosts of Greenwich Village was so much fun! I'm not into ghost tours, but this one blended the history of Greenwich Village with actual historic events. I guess tragedy has a way of imprinting itself for eternity! If you are into ghost tours, or looking to try something different on your next trip, try Tours By Foot NYC! They're awesome!

A haunted tour - The Ghosts of Greenwich Village tour with Tours By Foot NYC was a haunting experience from start to finish. We visited a haunted hidden cemetery, an elm tree where people seemingly still hang, as well as the location of the famous Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire! The guide's grasp on Greenwich Village history brought the stories alive!

A Thrilling Experience - We love to take tours with Tours by Foot in the cities which they are providing the walking tours. The guide's storytelling brought the dark history of the Village to life. Walking through the historic streets at night was both terrific and fascinating. We walked to various places but I litteraly got shivers when we walked towards Mark Twain and visited his haunted home as knowing there story. A must-do for anyone interested in ghost stories!

Chilling and Fun - The "Dark Side & Ghosts of Greenwich Village at Night" tour was a blast! Our guide was informative and entertaining, sharing creepy tales of the haunted history. The nighttime setting made it even better. We visited sites of tragic events, such as the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, and heard stories of ghostly apparitions and unsolved mysteries. A must for anyone into ghost stories!

Ghostly Tales and Dark Histories - We figured if we were in Greenwich we should do something spooky. Katie's expertise and engaging storytelling made the haunted past of Greenwich Village come alive. We learned about chilling events, from notorious crimes to ghost sightings. We were gald to see how good the things were mangaged by Tours By Foot. Highly recommended.

Walking night ghost tour - Our guide was great. Lots of history and things to see. She was very knowledgeable and even gave recommendations on other things to do. The only thing I would say is I wish the volume on the mic was a little louder as it was difficult to hear her over the traffic and other people at some points during the tour.
