Traveler reviews
Spooky Vibes + Summer Vibes = Great Tour!
Maddie was an AMAZING tour guide; her sense of humor and knowledge really made this tour one of the best we've taken!! We were able to ask questions about everything from film locations and restaurant suggestions during the tour! Walking through one of the most beautiful and vibrant neighborhoods of the city was incredible, and we happened to be there on Pride weekend, which was even more energetic and fun! Since we went in a summer month, our tour took place as the sun was setting, which was really beautiful. It wasn't as 'spooky' since it was still light out, but the stories and the history from some of these places were enough to rattle some of us (in a good way). For anyone who is hesitant to book because they may be slightly frightened of 'ghost tours,' I'd say it's more a historical tour than a 'scary tour.' We loved it!
Spooky good time in Greenwich Village
What a sneaky and spooky way to get in a history lesson of Greenwich village! Went with husband and niece, who loves a ghost tour and is also looking at colleges. Did you know that one of the NYU bio / chem lab buildings was the site of a tragedy that led to early labor reforms in the US? We also saw the building where Edgar Allen Poe introduced the world to The Raven and the Tell Tale Heart. Our guide Brianna, was just so engaging and charming. My niece loved her!
Perfect
Perfect tour. Joel was a great storyteller and the information he provided during the tour was educational and presented in such a fun way
Great historical tour
Maddie is a well versed historian and eloquent storyteller, and it was a win to have her as our tour guide. Book a little later in the summer months for a moodier, quieter surrounding - and a greater chance of sighting ghosts!
Our guide was Maddie and she was amazing! Kept history at the center while still giving all the spooky information!
Super informative & entertaining!!
