Greenwich tour hauntingly good! - Such a fun experience learning about the "haunts" of Greenwich Village. Our guide was very knowledgeable and quite passionate about this topic. Such a great way to learn about aspects of the city you wouldn't normally! Well done!

A lot of fun!!! - Percy is an excellent story teller, not only those funny / sad ghost stories, as well as histories of Manhattan. Percy also introduced some cafes/restaurants in the neighbourhood, must go and must not go.
It was definitely a very exclusive experience!

Unique Way to Discover New York History - On a rainy Saturday afternoon, we had the great pleasure of walking around the West Village with "Vinny" for the Haunted Manhattan tour. Definitely one of the high points of our weekend in NYC as we got a nice dose of old New York history with the added bonus of chilling ghost stories. It was worth walking in the rain as "Vinny" was such a wonderful guide. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique experience while discovering New York.

Our Friend Vinny AKA - Edna St. Vincent Millay!! - My boyfriend and I did this tour, and we had a great time with Vinny. I loved her energy and her story telling. Her poetic talents were a blast!! The west village is beautifully scary and she really showed us how much. I would definitely recommend this tour.
Keep working on those poems!! (I'm snapping my fingers because I dig it!1)
