    Fantastic!
    10/10. Megan was our tour guide and she was fantastic. She told the stories with such passion that you could truly picture everything. I would recommend this tour to anyone, and plan on doing another one when I am next in NYC!

    Charmed in Greenwich Village!!!
    My sisters and I took the walking tour of Greenwich Village on Saturday 10/26/19. What a great night! We had our guide C all to ourselves and couldn’t be happier. A gifted storyteller. C kept us enthralled with haunted tales of ghosts, murder, and mayhem. The history was interesting and well researched, and the sites were a great mix of intrigue and creepy. C conveyed each story in such a compelling way that we were often moved, the two hours were over much too quickly. We were given the rare opportunity to see our city through new eyes. My sisters and I highly recommend this tour and would do it again in New York minute!

    Greenwich Village - Awesome
    This October Saturday night was dark and chilly, so the scene was set nicely to begin our Greenwich Village Walking Tour from under the lamp on the NW corner gates to Washington Square Park. What an awesome trek through the streets and back lanes of the Village as our guide told the stories of the darker history and eerie events of the past, pausing at specific spots of interest and showing photographs to build perspective into the narrative. Captivating stories of murder, misadventure and inexplicable happenings rolled into a thrilling trip through history makes for a great evening of thought provoking entertainment. Bring an open mind and be prepared to leave with one or two spooky thoughts. Highly Recommended. Enjoy!

    Greenwich Village
    I really enjoyed this tour. You meet at Washington Square Park which is always fun to visit. The guide Ellen was great. The guide has photos of some of the sites which is passed around with the group. Some of the stories you've heard before which makes it even more interesting. Ellen gave us a paper with all the stories she discussed so you got to go home and read more about them. It really gives you an appetite to read about NYC in the old days. Also liked discovering different neighborhoods on the tour. I give it 5 stars and highly recommend it.

    Greenwich village
    Loved it! Loved my tour guide. Group was small. Guide was so personable and informative. It’s a great excuse to learn more about nyc history, but also to see architecture and photo ops/instagrammable shots. I lived in nyc for 11 years and these stories were new to me.

    Disappointing.
    I expected drama and fun. We got a workmanlike recitation of facts about a handful of sites around the West Village, and lame suggestions of ghost citing. I learned a couple of things, but it was a very hot, humid night, and I wish the guide had more dramatic skill.

    Wanted to love this
    Sadly the guide (Steve) lacked any storytelling ability or interest in making the ghost part of the tour seem remotely plausible, let alone scary or thrilling. The tour itself is solid. But the degree to which such a thing is entertaining is entirely about the guide, especially in 90 degree heat and high humidity. So my 3 college age children, who know much less about the Village than I do, were more bored than they should have been.

    Absolutely amazing!!
    Wow! This is a must do if you are staying in NYC. Meghan was so engaging and her story telling was fascinating. My partner and I were totally engrossed for the whole two hours despite being cold. Definitely recommend if you're into spooky stories and having a good laugh! Meghan, let's be best friends please!!

    Lovely walking tour
    Our guide Meghan was superb . Full of energy & fun as she regaled is with interesting stories and snippets of history around some of the buildings on this 2hr waking tour . We enjoyed it so much we went back a few days later during day time to walk the same route again .

    A MUST!!!!
    I whole heartedly recommend this tour to anyone interested in the subject. This is actually my second time taking the Greenwich Village Tour. My first time taking this tour, I was just so impressed with all the information and knowledge our guide had that I began searching for a similar tour in a different neighborhood and ended up going with a different company. BIG MISTAKE! If you are going to do a tour of this nature, it has to be with Ghosts, Murders & Mayhem. No one else has the knowledge or the enthusiasm for this particular subject. Recently, I had a friend visiting and she had wanted to take a halloweenish tour and I immediately thought of Ghosts, Murders & Mayhem. This time around we were very lucky to have had Elisa, the founder of the tour, showing us around. I spent 70% of the tour with goosebumps along my arms and the remaining 30% looking over my shoulder hoping to catch something, anything. Elisa was so prepared. She even gave us a list of her sources, the timelines of each incident she spoke about - you could just tell she knew what she's talking about. Sincerely, this tour is a MUST for those of you who are interested in the paranormal, murders in New York or just general mayhem.

    Greenwich Village Tour
    Elise was our guide, and, the company's owner, researcher and writer. She was amazing, and obviously fascinated with New York's history. The stories were well researched and interesting. Most of the people in the tour were New Yorkers like me, but we all learned so much, and were drawn in by Elise's enthusiasm for her subject. At the end, we all received a list of the stories we heard, the dates they occurred, and a list of her source material if we wanted to find out more about any or all of what we learned. I highly recommend this tour to everyone. I guarantee you will never look at some very familiar places the same way again.

    Fantastic!
    Took the tour on thursday night with my dad and best friend and the three of us loved it! We had a great time learning about the history of the area and hearing about all the gory details! The only downside to the night was the pouring rain!

    Fun walking tour
    We had a great time with the ghost tour. The tour guide was great and we had a good group of people. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because it wasn't crazy scary. Overall good time and I would recommend it.

    Fantastic mix of haunting stories and history
    We had Katherine (Catherine?) as a tour guide. Our group was 4 people, so we got a much more intimate tour. Our guide was very informative and theatrical. She made the tour interactive and she was compelling with her storytelling. We did the Greenwich Village tour and it was so varied, we saw so many parts of the village. At the end, she gave us a reference sheet so we can do our own research, which I really appreciated. I wish I could have done the Hell's Kitchen tour, but our trip was over too quickly. Would highly recommend!

    Great Tales of Darkness and Mayhem
    My date and I attended a Hell's Kitchen tour in August, 2016. We were fortunate to have Meghan as our guide and she was excellent, not to slight the other guides who may be just as talented. This particular tour dealt only slightly with ghosts while focusing on various murders and their significance within the neighborhood. Meghan was interesting and entertaining and I would highly suggest attending a tour if you have the opportunity.
