Scott was so knowledgeable and spoke really clearly and eloquently. He went back for a guests belongings who left it in the restroom. And braved the awful weather with us 🫰🏼It was particularly cool hearing this stuff in the area that it was happening but also hearing about the ghosty stuff from someone who truly believes because it just makes it more immersive.
Gabe was so great! Knowledgeable, interesting, and kept the energy of the group going! Would recommend
A fun, informative way to learn more about New York. Our guide, Jared, was charming and knowledgeable. We appreciated the break in Little Italy to get gelato! Would definitely recommend.

Besides the weather of wetness, Jackson, our guide was extremely intelligent with the history and ghosts of NYC. Approachable and kind person. Thank you so much, Jackson. Side note, we loved going though China Town and Little Italy. :)
