Lovely haunted stroll through history - Cicelia, our guide, was great. Very engaging and full of fun tidbits and recommendations as we explored the local haunts. We had our daughter, 12, along and she found it more informative than "scary". We would do another tour with Cicelia.

A must if you're into to spooky things and late night walks - If I could give her 10 stars I would!!! My friend and I got to go on the tour and we were fortunate enough to be the only ones booked for the timeslot and ended up being the only ones on our tour.... I'm gonna be honest I'm really really shy so I was a bit worried about the one on one but my friend said we should stick around and I'm so so SO glad we did!!! Gabi was an AMAZING tour guide!!! My friend and I love spooky stuff and we had an absolute blast!! We got to learn some cool facts and I took a bunch of photos!!! The tour was super cool and Gabi was full of tons of cool facts!! While some tours out there can be on the boring side this was farthest from that truly....I think this was the only tour I've ever been on that I actually learned some things lol We also got to chat with her about some side nerd interests too so I highly recommend booking the private tour too if you're able!! Thanks again Gabi!! Hope to see you again next time we visit New York!!!
