Extraordinary Ghost Host - It was AMAZING! Our ghostly host was incredible, time just flies while you are enjoying the tales and learning about the neighborhood’s history. He takes you to hidden spots that you won’t know about on your own. We recommend this tour 100%, it was one of our best experiences in NYC.

So glad we did it and I'd do it again. - I took my 11 year old daughter on the tour and at that age, she's skeptical but she and I both really enjoyed it. Gabby was our tour guide and she was awesome! I overheard her saying she does other tours and I want to go on them just because of her. She's a natural. She started off with a historical history of the area also. It's a history tour also, not just a haunting lesson. 10/10 do this tour.

Debi Kops does not disappoint! - My friends and I went to NYC for a "spooky weekend" and went on this ghost tour. Debi Kops was our guide and she was a blast! She was very informative and passionate! She made it fun and told us about ghosts and other fun facts! Very LGBQT friendly <3

DO IT!!!! - One of the highlights of our trip to NYC! Our tour guide Debbi was informative and hilarious. This tour covers so much history and architecture alongside the spooky stories...I have been on a few different ghost tours in my life and this was the best by far!

Ghost tour of West Village - Our tour guide Debi was very informative and friendly . She had a great appreciation for the beautiful architecture of the West Village.
She pointed out many places that were homes to very important people as well as places where spirits still roamed !

Spooky - Really liked Gordon, our tour guide! It was a slower-paced tour, perfect for us. The atmosphere of Greenwich Village was the perfect setting for these creepy ghost stories. I think we maybe saw a ghost definitely, check out the picture below!

Don't waste your time or money - This was HORRIBLY disappointing. The guide couldn't even remember what he was saying then went off on a long tangent about Lizzy Bordon. This was a GREENWICH VILLAGE ghost tour, not Boston! My friend and I left after 45 minutes because we couldn't handle any more. Total waste of money.
