Ghost tour excellence - My family and I went for a ghost tour for our daughters 18th birthday. Trevor was our guide and made it a super memorable experience. The knowledge he possessed about the eerie history of the area was fascinating and surprising. We saw so much spooky history around Greenwich and although we didn't get to see any ghosts along the way it certainly was promising as we saw and heard so many stories of the otherworldly. I can't say enough great things about our experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for something different and memorable to do while visiting the big apple 🍎🍏

Spooky and chilly walk - Our host (Marcus “carcass”) was lively, funny and considerate of the people living in the places we toured outside of. The tour was simultaneously great fun and a little arresting, giving us a different, darker perspective on Greenwich village.

Scarily informative and enjoyable - Marcus was very informative, friendly and made everything interesting. Even though it was just the two of us on the tour he still gave 100%, and made it fun and enjoyable. Thank you Marcus 😃

Rainy day washed away my plans and money - It had been raining HARD and was extremely windy and cold the night I was supposed to take the tour with my child. I reached out via the email address provided on the site asking to cancel and requested a refund. I never heard back from anyone. I later got a text asking how I liked the tour from so one who clearly had no idea that we didn't take the tour in the freezing rain. I then got a response stating that if I wanted to reschedule the tour there'd be a $10 rescheduling fee. So now I'm out $60 and you want more money from me?! My advice to those considering booking any tours....wait until the day of and make darn sure the weather isn't going to ruin your plans because you won't hear back from anyone and you'll lose a lot of money.
