We took our tour with Jocelyn, and she was terrific! My 12 year-old daughter requested that we take a ghost tour, and I am glad we chose this one! We took the St. Mark's/Stuyvesant tour, and it was creepy and full of great stories. She takes you past Peter Stuyvesant's grave, and MacSorley's and tells great stories about what has... More

even on a cold winter night, stories from the turn of the century remind you why nyc is such an incredible place. the heart of nyc is in these historic landmarks you'd otherwise pass by without a second thought. this tour was an incredibly fun way to remember that this progressive city is rooted in some amazing historic moments. great...

I have been on two tours with Ghosts of New York and have yet to be disappointed. The tour guides are some of the most knowledgable people I've met in the city and very friendly. I've been on a pub crawl type tour which was some of the most fun I've had and a great way to have a good... More

My family and I have been on many ghost tours throughout the USA. We go for the fun of it and to learn about the local folklore. We enjoy hearing the stories of the hauntings that are supposedly historically accurate. I'm not sure what we experienced last Friday night (7/6/12), but it was a bit of a disappointment. We signed... More

I just got back from the ghost tour in Greenwich Village. The guide was excellent, vibrant and informative. Especially the area around the Washington Square Park was creepy. One lady was actually able to catch a ghost on her camera. She showed us the image of the shadow that was in a form of a human. I recommend this tour... More

I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Very informative and filled with mystery and excitement. Our guide was great too! She really knew her stuff. We bought our tickets online but the value can't be beat. A must see for everyone!

This tour was boring - plain and simple. We have been on other ghost tours and other walking tours and have really enjoyed them so we knew what to expect. This was a waste of time and money.

Just got back from the Grand Central tour. There was nothing "ghostly" about it. The guide told random historical stories about NYC and some architecture throughout the building. It was disappointing.

We went on the tour of Grand Central Station, and got at lot of information on the place and its history. But we just walked around in the common areas, no going behinde "the scenes" and there were not that much about ghosts. If u like a history lecture go, if u want ghosts don't go.

My mother and I went on the ghosts of new york tour in the East Village and had a great time. We went on Sunday morning, which I would recommend if you are two women - the area is not the safest. Nonetheless, Andy was our tour guide and he was very interesting and informative. It was more about the... More
