This was a super fun tour! Our guide Joel was very knowledgeable and personable. He told the stories of the houses we visited in a very engaging and respectful way. I particularly liked our stop at the site of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire; although a very emotional and heavy stop on the tour, learning its history and how it has helped inspire safer labor/safety laws was a great takeaway. We were in a smaller group, which meant that Joel could interact with all of us on a more individual level; it was great to talk to him and learn more about NYC through his stories and share our experience so far in the city. The price for a guided walk on a nice evening around a beautiful neighborhood while learning the history of the chosen stops was very worth it!
Great tour if you are looking for a fun mix of history, fire and ghosts. Our tour guide was a great story teller.
Joel was our tour guide for our ghosty tour of Greenwich Village. He was a great story teller, and very knowledgeable and personable, taking time to get to know each of the guests on our tour. It was an awesome way to see some famous sights but also to learn interesting history in NYC. Highly recommend adding it to an itinerary if you are looking to do something a little different than just basic sight seeing! Thank you Joel from your Canadian guests!
This was my first ghost tour and Joel was absolutely fantastic and I loved everything we learned about Greenwich Village!!! Highly recommend!
We had Joel for our tour and he was incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining while telling every story. Made me remember why I used to love taking ghost tours and why I should start taking them again.
Joel was an amazing guide and knew so much about the area. We had a great time!
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.
Had a great time! Our guide Brianna was super knowledgeable and a great storyteller. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in the darker history of nyc.
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.
Had a great experience with Maddie as our tour guide! It was an interesting 2 hour tour with great stories and history about multiple places. Definitely recommend this tour for people want to learn about some of the backgrounds of spooky tales.
