About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- calebsR2679FU0 contributionsNot a Bar CrawlIt was a good history lesson but not much of a "bar crawl". We stopped at one bar at the beginning of the tour and that was it...Written September 3, 2024
- K2915FOshannonw0 contributionsMust have experience in the city!!Jules was such an amazing tour guide. I went with my best friend and she is a medium in training, and she was able to sense/see so many spirits! Our tour guide was so patient and knowledgeable, and the extended tour guide was absolutely worth it!!Written August 24, 2024
- biminiw20240 contributionsSpooky boozy funThis is SUCH a fun way to spend a night with friends- an educational and entertaining way to go drinking. I learned a lot of fascinating spooky history, and our tour guide Becca was so charming and funny. She made everyone feel welcome and made an effort to make sure everyone was included. Great tour!Written July 29, 2024
- J8875VQmelissas0 contributionsBoos and Booze - Highly Recommend!We had such a great time on this tour! We were lucky enough to be the only 2 on the tour, so we really got to know our guide well. Becca was so knowledgeable about the ghost stories, but also about the City as a whole! We loved the wide range of ghost stories and the unique bar stops through such a fun part of the City!Written June 13, 2024
- darellano180 contributionsDon’t miss out on this tour!My husband and I always do a ghost tour in every city we visit and NYGhost and Marcus did not disappoint! We were greeted by Marcus and pleasantly surprised to hear we were the only attendees who showed (due to the weather being cold and rainy). Marcus was extremely informative, entertaining and kind. He shared so many experiences, stories and history from all around the village that we actually felt like we learned something after the tour had ended.Written December 2, 2023

- Reidf970 contributionsFun tour with a friendly guide!John was great! We did a tour with only two of us and had a blast. He was very friendly knowledgeable about the area and kept the tour very interesting. The stories told were spooky with background history of the city. Really cool to walk through the Greenwich area on foot and learn the history. Would definitely go again when in NYC.Written January 31, 2023

- amydodson0 contributionsGreat funI’ve been on several tours like this and have learned so much about this history of whatever city I’m in. This NYC tour was equal parts informative history and great fun! A unique and relaxing way to spend a couple of hours. Hannah was a great guide; she has a quick wit and charm...and no corny jokes. You won’t regret this tour!Written April 24, 2021
- GenioAzul0 contributionsStressing and non enjoyable experience... and not because of ghosts.The guide seemed to be in a hurry since minute one so the group was following her almost running all around Greenwich Village. She was explaining even while walking (and crossing the streets) so the people behind couldn't even listen to her stories. She knows what she talks about and once you stop in front of a building you receive a quick explanation about why the stop there. Zero ambiance, adequate attitude or feeling of staying in spooky or even interesting places as all the time you feel like running (and I am in good shape) and that she wants to finish as soon as possible and leave you there. It is a pity as the zone seems interesting with good places and stories and with a good guide it must be a good experience. On the other hand you can pay 10 dollars more to have an "extra" 30 minutes that consists basically in one place more a couple of blocks from the finishing point. That finally tastes cheap. I have done ghosts tours around the world and they were way far better experiences (even the mediocre ones). They should better prepare the guides to help customers get in the "ghosts mood", if they are in a hurry or they don't care at all about the job they are doing show them to pretend they are enjoying the experience. Better visit less places and let people feel or imagine something but above all don't underestimate good will in customers or the value of their money.Written July 22, 2019
- leeleezech10 contributionsWe had a ghoulish time!My daughter and I ended up being the only two on the tour so Tony showed us around all the haunted sites on the tour and a couple of nearby places I wanted to see as well! He was funny and we all laughed our way through the Village! We would definitely do it again! Thanks, Tony!Written November 19, 2018

I was at the meeting point 20 mins before the supposed meeting time but the tour guide wasn’t there. when I called the company firstly they said that the tour guide didn’t make it and that they are going to refund but after a couple of minutes they were like the tour guide was there so we’re not going to refund you. BTW I called them several hours before I was there to confirm that there are other people coming and they confirmed that there were 4,which was also a lie because no one was there for the tour.

While Marcus was a great guide the tour was not small as promised (no more than 20). Upon arrival, there were 2 tour guides as there were way too many people, and it was made apparent that everyone got the extended tour, even if it was not paid for by everyone. There was more than 30 people on our tour even after the split
and it was more of a history tour than a ghost tour. I have been on ghost tours all over the country and while I had high expectations, I was disappointed.

Jules was our guide, with Marcus her mentor accompanying. They were both very fun and passionate about New York ghosts and their histories. We had a great scenic and walkable route through Greenwich Village, and the stops were diverse in their array and scope of hauntings. Also, A+ to Jules's witch hat!

I just want to say, I wasn’t really expecting to be scared. I mean, we were hoping for a bit of fun and even though I won’t have bad dreams, it was very craaazy! My bff and I booked last minute and guess we got lucky with the guide. I even rented one of those thingys to detect the ghosts. Anyway, all around great time. We want to come back with a group so we can scare them too. Definitely need to go on another one of these!

Eddie was an exceptional tour guide. We learned a lot about the history of Greenwich Village and New York. The Triangle Shirtwaist Fire was the best! We can't wait to come back for more spooky history! - Cynthia and Dave

Went on a tour with my wife and it was a great experience truthfully. Our guide’s name was Trevor, very knowledgeable guy within the history to be known. Learned a lot of facts as well. Definitely recommend for anyone who would potentially be interested. Thank you Trevor!

Fun tour with an excellent tour guide. We learned so much during this tour. There is a lot of walking so wear comfortable shoes. This was my 10 year old daughters favorite tour on our trip. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Picture yourself waking around with a friend who's really into history and loves Edgar Allen Aoe and Aaron Burr, and at the end of every story he says, "and they say people still see a man walking with a little girl to this day." The tour was that about six times. More informative than spooky. But we bumped into a few other tour groups from different companies and from what I can tell the information I got was pretty much status quo across the board.

Hi is this something I can join by myself for tonight, Sunday 11/3?
Or do I need to bring my own group? Not sure if “small group” means private group, or if I’d be the only one, or crashing someone else’s group. I’m in town on my own. Thanks!

You can do this trip on your own! I believe they can accommodate groups though
