Great experience! Don’t hesitate to book! - Great tour! Brianna was a wonderful storyteller and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Family of 5 ages 10 and up. She kept things PG but still enjoyable for the rest of us adults.

Amazing teen activity! So fun for adults too! - My teenager and I absolutely loved this tour. My teen was hooked at “ghost” but I was compelled by the rich history that Maddie shared in such a wonderful and deep storytelling manner. We learned so much! This was so fun we forgot we were cold. An excellent activity for a first night in NYC!

Joel came thru on a spooky, snowy night!! - Joel made our Greenwich Village ghost tour an absolute highlight. From the first stop, he had the perfect mix of spooky storytelling, local history, and genuine humor—so it never felt “scripted,” it felt like wandering the Village with a friend who happens to know everything.
He’s incredibly knowledgeable (the kind of guide who answers questions with extra fun details instead of rushing you along), and he kept the group engaged the whole time with tons of personality and great pacing. Even if you think you “know” Greenwich Village, Joel adds layers—hidden corners, eerie backstories, and those little neighborhood facts you’d never catch on your own.
And the best part? After the tour, he didn’t just point and say “good luck”—he was genuinely helpful and walked with us to the subway to make sure we got where we needed to go. That extra care says a lot.
If you’re booking a Greenwich Village ghost tour, ask for Joel. Funny, informative, and truly thoughtful. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What an amazing way to see Greenwich - This was such an amazing way to see the city. The stories were great and our guide told them so so well. I learned so much and saw so many amazing things we’d never have seen. Can’t recommend enough. It is a bit of a walk so bring the good shoes.

BEST GHOST TOUR EVER - BEST GHOST TOUR EVER!! Our tour guide, Joel, was the best! He knew so much and answered all our questions even if they had nothing to do with the tour. He made walking in the cold 100% worth it. I definitely recommend this tour!

Good stories tour - Overall a good ghost tour in the city with a combination of history and the tales that lead to sightings. Ended up in a smaller group which made it so q&a was easy.
