The Gangsters and Ghosts Tour in NYC was incredible! The stories were fun, the history was fascinating, and the whole experience was unforgettable. Our tour guide, Seth, was absolutely outstanding! He was extremely knowledgeable, and an amazing storyteller who brought every stop to life. He truly made the tour excellent. Highly recommend!
Seth was a fantastic tour guide! I learned so much about the history of random places in lower Manhattan that I usually just pass by quickly. He did a great job with pacing and keeping everyone entertained and together, my friends and I definitely got into the spooky season spirit after this! :)
Wonderful tour, would recommend to anyone! Loved the history of the gangs not just through stories but the original places. Jordan was a delight and had an answer to all of my many questions!
This was a fantastic tour! Our guide was Zach and he was wonderful. He was so knowledgeable and friendly. We loved learning about the gang and mafia history of the city and the tour was filled with interesting stories. Zach also shared a variety of resources at the end of the tour including great books to check out, and some food and drink recommendations as well. Overall we would highly recommend this tour and we learned a lot from Zach!
This was a great tour! We had Seth as our guide, and? He was the best! (Yes, as in better than all of the other tour guides) he was personable and as a group we talked about our beliefs and experiences—he was engaging and made the tour fun. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the 5 families and their historic activities and incidents over the years, and the ghostly tour component was fun and eerie. I love the history of NYC. and he gave the history of what happened at the location, which added context to its haunted lore. Highly recommend! And thanks Seth!
