Ghost Stories of Greenwich Village plus a Bit of Area History - The tour takes place in the Greenwich Village area (Washington Square Park and surrounding area). I had a very thorough tour guide who not only discussed local hauntings in the area but also some of the history of the area, including the historical background of the places constitutions haunted. Tour guide was friendly which made it easy to ask questions about the sites visited. The walk is about 1-1 1/2 hours and is of difficulty: Easy - no hills and no stairs to climb.

Historical and engaging - We did a ghost tour through Greenwich Village with our family in May and had a great time. The guide was engaging and brought the stories to life with just the right mix of spooky and historical. The kids were into it from the start, and we all learned some surprising things about the neighborhood. The pace was easy, and walking the quiet streets as it got dark made it feel even more atmospheric. It was a fun and memorable way to experience a different side of the Village.

Guide Not Focussed - Our guide spent way too much time on jarring digressions about his personal life. We were there to hear spooky stories. I wish we'd had a more focussed guide.

30 minutes with no mention of ghosts - We tried to be patient but after 30 minutes of talking about bland history with no mention of ghosts, then another 30 that was meandering, not interestingly told and hard to hear with our big group we decide to give up and leave early. I’ve maybe written one other nageyive review in my life, try to focus on the positive, but felt I should share so they’d know to look for other NYC ghosts tours. The reviews were good and we were looking forward to this part of our Oct trip.

Don't wait your time tour guide was gross and unprofessional - I had a horrible experience on the tour. The tour guide was unprofessional and was very sloppy; he showed up in dirty clothes and was very proud of it. He was even showing off his dirty shirt and mentioned that it was stained from his spaghetti dinner the night before. At first, my group and I felt some sympathy for him when he talked about his wife passing away several years ago, but he couldn’t get through a single story without bringing her up again and again. Additionally, he made inappropriate comments towards other members of the group. Overall, this was a complete waste of money, and I deeply regret spending my one night in New York on this tour. I attempted to reach out to the tour company before posting this review because I felt bad about it. I waited to see if anyone would contact me, but no one did. As a result, I felt compelled to write this comment.
