Gritty NYC True Crime Tour with a Lawyer

Overview

NO Mafia stories...no ghost stories...no olde, moldy "Gangs of New York" stories. We will visit the actual locations of 4 bizarre murders - all of which occurred during the gritty heyday of sleazy old New York City - the 1960s - 1990s. If you're a fan of fascinating true crime books + podcasts + docu-series - then you've found the right tour - this is for you. One of the murders has a strange occult/satanic backstory - which I'm able to relate in detail as I lived for a decade in the building where this murder occurred. For each of the murders we'll discuss, I've gone well beyond standard research and dug up surprising details buried in the actual case files, forgotten magazine articles, out-of-print books, and other resources. Please join me as we revisit a pre-gentrification New York - a city where anything could happen - and often did.

Eddie is extremely knowledgeable and such a lovely, funny and quick witted guy. He gave us so many facts, used images to help you visualise the cases and made it all such a fun and interesting experience. I’d recommend doing the tour on a day where it isn’t cold as you need to concentrate to follow the story lines and there’s a lot of standing in one spot whilst you are outside the crime scene buildings! Would definitely recommend to anyone who likes true crime!!

We had a fantastic time on this tour! Two lawyers in our group, both of us loved it. The guide was very thorough in explaining all of the murders, and he had lots of tid bits from clearly extensive research as well as first hand accounts from people he spoke with who lived in the area and knew the people involved in the crimes. Highly recommend!

You may ask yourself why would I want to tour three murder sites?? This tour is for all true crime sleuths. Tour guide gave extensive background information, unknown facts for each case, and insightful theories. Tour was well worth the money. Imagine an enjoyable afternoon with a lawyer!!
