We took the Ghost Pub Crawl this week on Valentine's Day. We wanted to share our feedback so you don't waste your money or time on this. 1. He were almost 30 minutes late and didn't send a text, email or call to let us know. I had to research how to contact him. 2. He didn't even apologize for being late but said we could extend the tour to 9:30pm. Our timeline was until 9pm and it should have stated on time to end on time. 3. The tour was supposed to include a complimentary cocktail and every bar he chose was so crowded. He didn't offer to buy us a round. As the expert he should know not to have a tour on a holiday or have prearranged seats/ reservations. It was so uncomfortable that the other couple on tour told us they were miserable and leaving after the first half hour, but we tried to stick it out. 4. The tour was supposed to be of just Greenwich Village and yet he took us all the way to the Eastside for no reason. The entire walk seemed unnecessary and was without any information, history or a reason for going so far east. We were in the heart of Greenwich village with so much information and wonderful places we could have explored. The fast walking and long distances really didn't make sense and should have been listed. 5. A 'pub crawl' would imply that we are in multiple pubs at least half of the time where it's not crowded and we can learn history and enjoy a cocktail. This did not happen! We've been on many over the years and can't recommend this to anyone. We trusted him to create a lovely valentines night tour and instead it was very uncomfortable and a waste of time and money.

We are sorry that the tour didn't meet your expectations. You should understand that Valentine's Day in New York is the busiest night of the year for restaurants and bars and sometimes the tour guide needs to improvise as to the choice of bars that are available. Also, this is the early stages of that tour and the tour route still needed to be refined. You were refunded your money for the inconvenience. Please come back and try the tour again! Cheers!
