Let me start by stating that the majority of Gangster Tours in New York City are pure nonsense. Our experience comes straight from the source, no tour guide, no embellishments. Hear the true tales while we guide you through infamous crime locations between the East Village to Little Italy, assimilating what it was like to be part of New York’s renowned families. Immerse yourself in firsthand narratives of the New York Mafia and criminal activities in NYC, plus savor the local dishes. We have on our itinerary, the spots where Crime Family members socialized, celebrated and managed their secretive ‘family ventures’. Discover the places other tour companies are oblivious to. Witness the ‘Ravenite Social Club’ and more. Our meeting spot is a well-known mafia “red sauce joint” originating from 1908, with ample food arranged. We conclude the experience with a full-sized cannoli from a signature pastry shop in Little Italy. Until now, I have catered to over 10,000 guests and boast of more than 2,000 five-star reviews on Airbnb. This is definitely not your run-of-the-mill Mafia tour in New York.
