Traveler reviews
Spooky and gruesome but a fantastic tour!
Super spooky and gruesome tour that gave me the chills I wanted. Cant go on a ghost tour and not feel some sense of uneasiness and this tour did just that! Brianna was our tour guide and was fantastic. Dressed in so many different colours and looked like a Disney character but then started telling the stories and was great at it and getting people engaged. Highly recommended to anyone and if you can request a guide, Id go for Brianna as she was also very friendly and made everyone feel comfortable!
Super Gruesome and Spooky tour, highly recommended to anyone!
Tour was fantastic, the best stories were the Death House and Mark Twain (Samuel Clemmins) and the story of the fire at the fabric factory! Our tour guide, Brianna, was super bubbly and outgoing and was dressed like a Disney princess with all of the different colours she had on, but then would tell the most gruesome stories which was awesome. Quite the mix and match but it made the tour so much better! Highly recommend this tour to anyone and if you could request a tour guide, I would take Brianna again any day! Overall 5/5 stars experience!
Explore a different part of NYC in a unique way.
Guide Brianna was knowledgeable and fun. Family age range was 13-70. Interesting for all, made for an enjoyable evening even on a rainy night. Thanks Brianna! Communication prior to tour with any questions was excellent.
Murder and Mayhem
A lovely stroll through the village with some not so lovely stories! We enjoy ghost history tours whenever we travel to a new city but hadn’t done one yet in NYC. Glad we had time to do it on this trip. Our guide, Joel, was a great storyteller and we enjoyed hearing some of the hidden history of this neighborhood.
This was a great tour...
This was a great tour that went by fast. It wasn't overly scary or "ghostly," but a great blend of history and true crime, with a little bit of the ghostly sprinkled in. This neighborhood is such a beautiful area of the city, and strolling around at night, hearing the history and lore, was a great way to experience the city. Our guide, Maddy, was very knowledgeable and a great host.
