This tour was a good overview of Mafia history which was interesting. I thought we would see more sites about the Mafia, but that was not really the case. Very detailed information, would revise so that you see more of the sites related to the mafia to make it more interesting. Overall it was not bad and not great.

Thank you for leaving a review. I am sorry to hear you didn't think there were enough mafia places to show you. Please understand that just so many Mafia spots are on our route. The mob was all over the city and on a 2 hour walking tour you can just see what was in that specific neighborhood (which has been gentrified). We intertwine history and stories along with showing what was there and try to bring the past to life. Many sites from the past history are shown and that includes movie sites from mob movies. You get to see where Prohibition took over at the curb exchange and a corrupt police department right down the block. You walk the streets that The "Dapper Don" John Gotti walked and see where he was brought down in the Ravenite Social Club. His boss Aniello "Neil" Dellacroce lived across the street and ran a pizza shop connected to the Pizza Connection around the corner. You go inside The Old St. Patricks where scenes from the Godfather were filmed, and walk Black Hand Row where the Black Hand ruled in the 1880's. You venture into Little Italy where all the restaurants were ruled by Capos from the Five Families. In 1972 Joe Gallo is killed on Mulberry and Hester you are shown that spot and hear the demise of Crazy Joe Gallo. On our East Village Murder and Mayhem Tour, and on our vehcile tours you get to see other spots where the Mob ruled the streets. The 5 families ruled all over NYC in the 5 boroughs so to see them all you need to do it by vehicle. The Mob is past history and they no longer exist as they did that is why our tour is called The Rise and Fall of the New York Mafia.
