About this tour

As evening settles over Greenwich Village, its quiet streets take on a different character. Join a New York City Greenwich Village Ghost Tour for an hour-long walk through stories and sites tied to the neighborhood’s haunted history.

Meet your guide beneath the Washington Square Park Arch, where a lantern marks the starting point. From there, follow a 1-mile route to 8 locations, including Mark Twain’s House of Death, the Emma Lazarus House, and the Hangman's Elm. The tour returns to the park, making it easy to explore the Village before or after your walk. Group sizes typically do not exceed 20 people, and a professional guide leads the way.

Tours depart at 8 p.m. from April through October and at 7 p.m. from November through March. Arrive 15 minutes early, then step into Greenwich Village’s shadowy past on a New York City Greenwich Village Ghost Tour.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.58 from 173 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in New York City
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 5.6.
