A Five Star (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) Tour to “Die” For - I try to do ghost tours with my wife and son in any state that we travel too mostly for the history and atmosphere. Marlina was an awesome and amazing tour guide. She was very knowledgeable about the area and the topic. Money well spent.

An Awesome Tour thanks to Marcus!! - This tour was awesome! Our guide, Marcus, was so animated and entertaining. He gave us so much information, we were able to ask questions and he had just a depth of knowledge and experience. I wish the tour was longer so we could’ve had more time with him.

5 Stars! - Marcus was absolutely phenomenal! As a native New Yorker, I wasn’t expecting to be surprised—but he delivered. Not only is he polite, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly, but he’s also a true performer. This isn’t just a tour, it’s an experience. Marcus brought the haunted history of Greenwich Village to life with storytelling that kept everyone engaged from start to finish. Even as someone who knows the city well, I appreciated the background context and depth he added. Highly recommend—whether you’re a tourist or a local, you’ll leave entertained and maybe even a little spooked.

Spooky fun in Manhattan! Enjoyed it as a local - Fun local night in Manhattan. Decided to do something different then just the usual dinner and drinks. Learned alot about the history of the area. Our tour guide Marlina made everyone feel welcomed under the Washington Sq arch and led us on a fun,lively (considering the ghosts) tour. Would recommend the tour (even for natives) and would definitely recommend Marlina!

A ghostly experience - This tour was awesome. Marlina kept it moving and interesting. We learned so much about the area. A great experience if you want to do something different while visiting or have been living in New York. It was the perfect amount of time.

Very Cool But Long - We loved our tour, and we learned a lot of cool facts about the area and the haunted buildings. Our guide knew a ton about the stops, and we could tell he was always learning more to share. My only complaint was the time. Part of the group was late, and the guide admitted up front that the tour would take longer than scheduled. That's fine, but it would be better if it had been advertised as such, like "extended tour." They could even charge more. 😉 Personally, as someone with a disability, I plan these activities carefully, so I can manage my pain and energy levels. It's just good to know what will be involved when I book.

Good mix of history and anecdotal evidence! - A great little tour. We booked for Sunday so weren’t surprised that we were the only folks in attendance. The host ‘Marcus Carcass’ was great and explained that he’d maybe be a little less theatrical than usual with it just being the two of us and make it more conversational. It was a great tour and he had many facts and we also had some chats around the different phenomena and locations on the way round. Some of the stories were more ghost related than others but all interesting and there was one story involving the Jefferson Market Library which was a particular ‘spine tingler’!
