This tour was really great! Highly recommended! Our guide Liz was extremely knowledgable and did an amazing job putting the spooky hauntings around the Village into grounded, well-researched historical context. The real treat of this tour as an out-of-towner is slowing down and seeing streets in a neighborhood that you normally wouldn’t stroll through while visiting other, crowded New York City landmarks. This tour shows a side of the City you only see with an expert like Liz. It’s grim without being gory and it’s creepy without being overtly scary. The spots we visited were full of so much rich history, the tour often veered into reverent sympathy for the dead. Horrible tragedies and accidents, grim reminders of our nation’s dark past, and sometimes just bad luck contributed to many of the spots on the tour. Liz did a great job walking the line of skeptic and paranormal expert impartially sharing eyewitness accounts and letting us decide how to digest the information as we stood on the same ground that these sightings took place. A major plus is shopping for your new multi-million-dollar apartment—haunted or otherwise—while on the tour (my wife and I each collected a few apartments a-piece on one of the quietest streets in the city)!

We try to make this tour interesting for all of our guests and it seems we've definitely for that for your group. We also have several apartments picked out in the Village, maybe we'll be neighbors someday! We hope your stay here in NYC was wonderful and we wish you safe travels! -The Team at TopDogTours

We had a great time on the ghost tour with James as our guide. Though I have lived in NY/NJ my entire life, and always do a ghost tour when I travel, I have never actually done any type of walking tour here, and I had a great time learning about the history of Greenwich Village. The tour is a great mix of historical fact and ghost tale, and James did an amazing job throughout the night. The tour includes visits to many streets that I was never aware existed, and I enjoyed feeling like a tourist in my own city. Definitely recommend!

Hello, We are so happy you enjoyed your Ghost Tour with James! We love having locals on tours, because we get to show them an aspect of the city they may not have known about. It seems we've succeeded in that respect. We hope to see you again in the future! -The Team at TopDogTours

The first time I went on this tour I went with another local who wanted to do something different for her birthday— and we both loved it! This time I went with friends from out of town and had just as great a time! Joel was an amazing guide and the tour is such a great mix of spooky, sad, and inspiring. When I went in June it rained and we actually ended up asking to cut the tour short (it was a private one that time)... so I even saw some new stuff this time. :) Bonus: I never tire of creeping people out (both locals AND visitors) with one particular tidbit you learn about Washington Square Park!!
