The Ghosts of the Village Tour with Joel
Attending ghost tours is one of our must-do activities whenever we travel. It’s a fun way to uncover hidden history that you’d never learn about in a classroom, and it gives you a completely different perspective on places that might otherwise seem like ordinary everyday scenery. Joel absolutely nailed this Greenwich Village ghost tour with his extensive knowledge of the neighborhood and its history, as well as his incredible storytelling skills, undoubtedly shaped by his theatrical background. He brings the past to life so vividly that you can easily picture the events as they unfolded. Some stories are so chilling that you’ll find yourself thinking about them later that night when you return to your old hotel room in New York City. There are plenty of ghost tours in NYC, but if you’re going to take one, it has to be the Ghosts of the Village Tour with Joel. It will be an unforgettable experience!
