About this tour
Discover the shadowy side of Greenwich Village on a 90-minute adults-only ghost and dark history walk. With a knowledgeable local guide, explore a neighborhood known not only for its charm, but also for its history of vice, scandal, radical politics, and people seeking refuge or reinvention.
As you walk through Greenwich Village, hear ghost stories and local legends alongside real New York history. The tales reveal how freedom and possibility could come with danger, exploitation, and consequences. This is a closer look at the people and hidden histories behind the Village’s familiar streets, rather than a polished postcard portrait.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 2.00 from 1 review. 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 7.0.
