My sisters and I took the walking tour of Greenwich Village on Saturday 10/26/19. What a great night! We had our guide C all to ourselves and couldn’t be happier. A gifted storyteller. C kept us enthralled with haunted tales of ghosts, murder, and mayhem. The history was interesting and well researched, and the sites were a great mix of intrigue and creepy. C conveyed each story in such a compelling way that we were often moved, the two hours were over much too quickly. We were given the rare opportunity to see our city through new eyes. My sisters and I highly recommend this tour and would do it again in New York minute!

This October Saturday night was dark and chilly, so the scene was set nicely to begin our Greenwich Village Walking Tour from under the lamp on the NW corner gates to Washington Square Park. What an awesome trek through the streets and back lanes of the Village as our guide told the stories of the darker history and eerie events of the past, pausing at specific spots of interest and showing photographs to build perspective into the narrative. Captivating stories of murder, misadventure and inexplicable happenings rolled into a thrilling trip through history makes for a great evening of thought provoking entertainment. Bring an open mind and be prepared to leave with one or two spooky thoughts. Highly Recommended. Enjoy!

I really enjoyed this tour. You meet at Washington Square Park which is always fun to visit. The guide Ellen was great. The guide has photos of some of the sites which is passed around with the group. Some of the stories you've heard before which makes it even more interesting. Ellen gave us a paper with all the stories she discussed so you got to go home and read more about them. It really gives you an appetite to read about NYC in the old days. Also liked discovering different neighborhoods on the tour. I give it 5 stars and highly recommend it.

Sadly the guide (Steve) lacked any storytelling ability or interest in making the ghost part of the tour seem remotely plausible, let alone scary or thrilling. The tour itself is solid. But the degree to which such a thing is entertaining is entirely about the guide, especially in 90 degree heat and high humidity. So my 3 college age children, who know much less about the Village than I do, were more bored than they should have been.
