A perfect blend of ghost stories, real history, and sinister true tales!

We had an incredible experience on this tour! Maddie was a wonderful tour guide. I often joke that there is "history" and then there is "tour guide history", and Maddie knew the real deal history! She was a great story teller and made every stop come to life. Walking through the village at night is fun no matter what, but I will never walk through the same way again after knowing some of these stories. This tour was the perfect blend of ghost stories, real history, and sinister true tales. My wife and I have taken similar tours in Rome, London, Antwerp, San Diego and many other places, and this was by far our favorite one.

Fun Time with the Ghosts of the Past

We had a lot of fun on this tour. Brianna was a very engaging guide who made the walk insightful, shocking (at times) and interesting throughout. It's a nice walk around a vibrant part of NY with lots of surprises at practically every turn. Recommend.
