Great tour, great guide!!

I booked this tour to celebrate a friend’s birthday. Our guide was Joel and he was an absolute gem! He spun wonderful tales of the crazy underbelly of the West Village ands we were absolutely mesmerized by his storytelling and enthusiasm. I would highly recommend this tour and most especially, this tour guide. We had a fantastic experience.

Spooky around New York

This was an amazing learning experience, and chilling stories that left us astonished. Maddie was very knowledgeable, answered all our questions, and shared lots of stories from multiple places you would never imagine things happened there. Totally recommend it!

Knowledgeable guide and great story teller

Maddie is an excellent guide. She is very knowledgeable about the area and a great story teller. Her own personal encounters on the tour with some of the super natural add to the experience.

A Unique Night Out!

I had the best time on this tour! If you’re into NYC history, spooky stories, this is absolutely worth it. Our guide was incredibly engaging, knowledgeable, and kept everyone entertained. Doesn’t hurt that he was cute, too! :) Between the storytelling and charisma, the whole evening flew by. I left with a few chills and a new appreciation for the city’s history. I’d absolutely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a unique night out!

Great evening on a ghost tour!

This was a super fun tour! Our guide Joel was very knowledgeable and personable. He told the stories of the houses we visited in a very engaging and respectful way. I particularly liked our stop at the site of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire; although a very emotional and heavy stop on the tour, learning its history and how it has helped inspire safer labor/safety laws was a great takeaway. We were in a smaller group, which meant that Joel could interact with all of us on a more individual level; it was great to talk to him and learn more about NYC through his stories and share our experience so far in the city. The price for a guided walk on a nice evening around a beautiful neighborhood while learning the history of the chosen stops was very worth it!
