    Great Tour
    My wife and I had a wonderful four hour tour of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island with Percy. She was prompt, very efficient on logistics, and most importantly, very knowledgable. She is a good story teller which made all the facts and figures interesting.

    Perfect evening tour of a vibrant neighbourhood
    Best tour of our weekend NY, loved Connor as our guide. Very good donut stop (try the maple syrup croissant donut). We did not know what to expect of the tour and where blown away by the history of the neighbourhood.

    Fun tour!
    Fun & interesting tour! Our tour guide Percy was very knowledgeable and super enthusiastic about it! I learned a lot about the city and history of superhero comics - it made me want to actually get more into comics myself.

    Fun tour with Brianna.
    Our Guided Walking Tour of Greenwich Village Nightlife with Brianna was an absolute delight! Brianna's humor and engaging storytelling brought the vibrant history of the Village to life. She kept us entertained with fun facts and quirky FAQs, making the tour both informative and enjoyable. One of the highlights was stopping for Insomnia Cookies, which were as delicious as advertised! Brianna's lively personality and attention to detail made the evening an unforgettable experience. If you're looking for a mix of history, culture, and tasty treats, this tour is a must-do

    Followed prosecutes but still ripped me off
    Ripped me off … cancelled a tour well before the cut off time because one of our party couldn’t do the walking tour which was part of the New York pass … then took the money anyway even though I had the phone log proof I had called them and followed the cancellation procedure to the letter as they won’t accept email cancellations - I know why now!! but proceeded to effectively call me a liar by saying I never contacted them. Patrick Kelly is Very dishonourable

    History and stories
    Claire was a brilliant guide, super informative and welcomed questions! The tour was the just the right length for us and ended near to the nightlife for drinks. Disappointed we didn't see any ghosts but the rats were friendly enough!

    Not what we expected - but had lots of fun
    Brilliant experience, Percy engaged us in the experience and had so much knowledge to share, we went thinking it was a marvel tour (my daughter is a keen marvel fan) Percy explained at the start this was not a marvel tour so we were apprehensive to continue - we are so glad we did, it was lots of fun, not too fast paced. Thank you Percy!!

My husband, 14-year old son, and I took this tour for our last night in NY. It turned out to be the perfect ending for our trip! James, our tour guide, wove a wonderfully captivating and compelling narrative of Greenwich's 400 year history. The historical sites around Greenwich were incredible to see and the stories were the perfect combination of spooky ghosts and riveting history. Our 14 year old was engaged, asking questions, and stayed off his phone the whole time. That's a credit to James who truly brought the Village to life for us. Super memorable! Highly recommend this!

Jocelyn our guide was very professional and knowledgeable of all the amazing ghostly material. She had a captivating presence that made the tour that much more intense, in the best way. I have lived here for years and knowing more about the complicated history of this city was enthralling. I would do it again and again!

Our guide was Gabi, and she did a great job! We absolutely loved it. We found this tour on the New York City pass we bought, and picked the tour just to fill time one night, not expecting too much. But it turned out to be really fun! We loved that we were in a smallish group of 8 people. It was definitely worth doing, and we’d do another next time we come to New York.

*not a private tour, but closest option available

Orlando was a great guide, comprehensive and clear about all these fascinating stories behind places you wouldn’t think twice about. He made sure the whole group was around and minded street signals so everyone could get across safely. Generally very friendly and happy to answer questions.

For those looking into walking tours of nyc, this company offers an interesting and varied selection. Do be conscious of your stamina and capabilities to make the most of it though. A two hour walking tour can be rough after already having walked a lot for four days and already tired from the previous tourist hotspots. However it is well worth it if you are interested in whichever your is offered.

The Ghosts of Greenwich Village tour was such a fun way to learn about the village’s ghosts and history. The tour was so great because of the tour guide Gabi who was both knowledgeable and theatrical! I highly recommend booking this tour with her.

Great tour, super interesting. Gabby’s energy, enthusiasm, and fabulous storytelling skills (which were so good that she’s ruined Greenwich Village for me) made the tour very special. Best birthday present ever!

This is a neighborhood I frequent as a local from NJ now living in BK- I can no longer see it the same! Thanks Luke for being an awesome guide. Got a few laughs in and you made us feel safe and accommodated for. My nerd out moment was learning about one of the oldest trees in Manhattan, and also the stable road in Wash Sq area. I also got spooked with some of the old tales… did this for a date and recommend for visitors and locals alike if you want unique activity- lots of places to eat and drink around here after .

Liz was a wonderful informative tour guide. She has a deep knowledge of the area and history that brought the area to life. I would highly recommend this tour if you are into the paranormal or if you would like to see a bit more of Greenwich Village.

The tour was awesome! Rory was a great tour guide and we learned a ton of rich history about Greenwich Village and loved the spooky aspects that went with them. Would definitely recommend this tour if you’re into ghost tours and/or the history of NYC!
