Description

Haunted Manhattan offers the most accurate—and FUN—ghost tours in the city! On our East Village tour, a secret underworld of ghosts and ghouls reveals itself as you’re guided past 13 haunted stops by the clever, witty, and endlessly entertaining Frankie, a bartender who’s used to dealing with patrons who just don’t want to heed Last Call. From the ghost train at the Astor Place subway stop, to haunted screams in the night on Bond Street, to a cellar where one of America's greatest writers might still be sipping on some amontillado, you’ll see both landmarks and dive bars that make the East Village the legend that it is—and hear the stories of the spirits that call this area home. A historical, hilarious, and completely hair-raising experience, Haunted Manhattan will show you the greatest city there is, like you’ve never seen it before.

William was animated and delightful. William went out of their way to show us which subway train to take so that we didn’t get lost again.

Great tour guide!

Charlie was an awesome tour guide for our Haunted Manhattan East Village tour. We had two young teens on our tour who were entertained the whole time and never acted bored. Huge win! The stories were interesting and it made me want to go back and visit all these places again when they’re open.

Great guide! Fun tour!

Charlie was a phenomenal guide, can’t recommend them enough! Charlie had a great sense of humor, knew a ton of history, and had some really spooky stories. They were clearly very familiar with the area — all the different buildings and restaurants, which is very much appreciated when you feel like your being shown around by a local. They also shared a ton of recommendations which we can’t wait to try out!
