I booked this tour to celebrate a friend’s birthday. Our guide was Joel and he was an absolute gem! He spun wonderful tales of the crazy underbelly of the West Village ands we were absolutely mesmerized by his storytelling and enthusiasm. I would highly recommend this tour and most especially, this tour guide. We had a fantastic experience.
This was an amazing learning experience, and chilling stories that left us astonished. Maddie was very knowledgeable, answered all our questions, and shared lots of stories from multiple places you would never imagine things happened there. Totally recommend it!
Maddie is an excellent guide. She is very knowledgeable about the area and a great story teller. Her own personal encounters on the tour with some of the super natural add to the experience.
I had the best time on this tour! If you’re into NYC history, spooky stories, this is absolutely worth it. Our guide was incredibly engaging, knowledgeable, and kept everyone entertained. Doesn’t hurt that he was cute, too! :) Between the storytelling and charisma, the whole evening flew by. I left with a few chills and a new appreciation for the city’s history. I’d absolutely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a unique night out!
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!
