    About this experience

    Haunted Manhattan offers the most accurate—and FUN—ghost tours in the city! On our Greenwich Village tour, a secret underworld of ghosts and ghouls reveals itself as you’re guided through the streets by "noted professor of anthropology & the supernatural," The Professor. The Professor will guide you to 13 haunted locations, from Washington Square Park, a former potter's field and now the beating heart of the Village that seems to host multiple famous spirits (including a ghost dog!), to the former home of Mark Twain that may also hold malevolent spirits, telling you tales of haunted dorm buildings, churches, fire houses, theaters, and more along the way... A historical, hilarious, and completely hair-raising experience, Haunted Manhattan will show you the greatest city there is, like you’ve never seen it before.

    Fun and Spooky with interesting history!

    Experience: Spooky and fun without being scary! There was a great mix of ghost stories and history-made-fun, and our “Professor” guide was awesome—funny, knowledgeable, engaging, and kind. He really brought the stories and history of Greenwich Village to life. Admission fee: Very reasonably priced for 90 minutes of entertainment. I felt we got a lot for the price. Length of visit: About 90 minutes, which was just right—long enough to be entertaining without feeling like too much walking. Atmosphere: Fun, relaxed, and appropriately spooky. The tour had a great atmosphere without being frightening. Crowd size: Our group was small, which made it easy to hear the guide and stay together throughout the tour. Staff: The “Professor” was fantastic! He was an excellent teacher and storyteller, and his humor and kindness made the experience especially enjoyable. Best for: Adults, families, and older kids. The walk was easy and manageable for any age, and although our group was all adults, I think older kids would really enjoy it too.

    Awesome tour!

    We had such a great time on the Haunted Tour of Greenwich Village! It ended up being just the two of us on the tour, but our guide was absolutely wonderful and still gave us the full experience. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made all of the stories really interesting and fun to listen to. We learned so much about the history of Greenwich Village along with some of the darker and more haunted stories connected to the area. We really appreciated that even with such a small group, our guide never made the tour feel rushed or awkward. It honestly felt like we were getting our own private tour! It was such a fun way to explore Greenwich Village and see a different side of New York City. Definitely recommend it, especially if you enjoy history, ghost stories, or anything a little spooky!

    We met our guide in Washington Square Park and walked the neighborhood while he told us stories.

    What a fabulous evening! The Professor is entertaining and super knowledgeable about the history of New York. He spoke of historical figures who spent time in this part of the city - and perhaps never left. I recommend this tour highly for tourists and locals alike!

    Response from the operator: Such kind words, thank you! So glad you enjoyed your time—we hope you can check out the other haunted areas of NYC soon on one of our other routes!

    The Bartender (believe her name was Charlie), was absolutely awesome! The tour was fun and very informative. The Bartender keeps you engaged and she really enjoys what she does. Highly recommended for people looking to do something a little different and learn some NYC history.

    Greenwich Village Haunted Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New York.

    How much does Greenwich Village Haunted Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $35 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New York usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Greenwich Village Haunted Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New York is not rushed.

    Is Greenwich Village Haunted Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 98 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in New York, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Greenwich Village Haunted Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Greenwich Village Haunted Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Greenwich Village Haunted Tour?

    +

    Around 34 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New York can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New York and add a light layer if any part of the 1.7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Greenwich Village Haunted Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New York within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in New York?

    +

    New York has more bookable experiences than any other city on Outty, and the quality spread is brutal. Observation decks are commoditised, so we score them on timed-entry reliability and sunset slots. Food tours and borough walks are where the ranking really separates operators, and the top scores in the city all come from small-group guides. On Outty we rank every New York experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Grand Canyon VIP Helicopter Tour, Half-Day Bus Tour of NYC Top Highlights, NYC Bus Tour of Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens: Art, Food & Sports. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit New York?

    +

    September to early November, and late April through June. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in New York?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
