Fun, spooky and insightful - It was an amazing tour with an amazing guide. William was so knowledgeable, professional, friendly and dramatic (in a good way)! It just made our night. I don’t know how can someone keep so many facts in their minds. Excellent tour, filled with spooky stories (sound effects included) and historical facts. I will definitely book another tour with them when I’m back. Loved it!

Amazing experience! Highly recommend! - We had the great pleasure of a ghost tour with the extremely knowledgeable and entertaining W. M. Blackwood. I have been telling my friends about the different ghost stories we heard and the things we saw. My daughter and I watched Scorsese's Gangs of New York until 2 AM after the tour because we were so fascinated by the Five Points. W. M. Blackwood made the characters and history come alive. Unforgettable.

Here for the boos ;) - As it's just the start of spooky season, my friend and I were the only 2 people on our haunted walking tour. Lesser tours might not put in the effort for such a small group, but our guide W. Josiah Blackwood gave us the FULL experience! I always love when I can learn something new about the city I grew up in and you'll be sharing the ghost stories (and historical facts) of this tour with people whenever you find yourself back in the neighborhood (or maybe that's just me). Hands down one of the most entertaining and informative walking tours I've taken in NYC. I look forward to checking out their other options.

five stars for the five points - My girlfriend and I went on a tour of the Five Points, led by William Blackwood. We had a great time and William was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We learned so much about the history of the area and enjoyed hearing about some of the ghosts in the area. While we didn't see any ghosts ourselves, we've got no regrets in choosing this tour. We would definitely take a tour with Blackwood again.

Brilliant Tour! - We had a fab time on this tour, even in the rain! Super informative and really fun. Very engaging guide, W.M Blackwood was brilliant and kept us entertained and interested, even with the aforementioned rain! Would love to do another in the future. Loved the handy hints for places to go afterwards too, the Dead Rabbit was ace :-)
