    We had a great time ! The tour guide was knowledgeable and had a theatrical flair. The locations were spooky yet while the overall tour still feeling very safe.

    Great Ghost Tour!!!!

    Michelle_T, Jul 2025
    Excellent tour! Full of great stories and history. Just the right amount of walking. We felt as though we went back in time. While we saw no ghosts, there was definitely the presence of spirits. The Professor was knowledgeable and very entertaining. I would definitely do another of his tours!

    Entertaining evening!

    Our guide, Professor Clerval, made this such a fun trip for all of us. The meeting spot was easy to find,; the stories were presented in a lively, entertaining fashion; the pace was relaxed. A great way to see a part of the city you might not otherwise visit and to learn some of its history. The Professor also did a great job of engaging the youngest ones of the group by learning their names and by asking them questions and to share their stories. That doesn’t always happen with tour guides but very smart of him because if the kids are happy the rest of the crowd is happy!

    Fun night!

    Julianna_P, Mar 2025
    I did this with my 15 year old daughter. It was a lot of fun, entertaining, insightful and educational. We learned a lot of history coupled with spooky stories. Professor Clerval was fantastic. I’m glad we did this.

    Informative and entertaining

    Stephen_M, Dec 2024
    Professor Henry was very informative and entertaining with plenty of historical background included with the stories.

    Had an absolute blast on this tour! The Professor was a perfect guide! His stories really came to life and he was both knowledgeable and funny! Great historical knowledge and a grand storyteller! From the Poe stories to Death House just purely entertaining! Would surely recommend this tour and guide to all!

    Response from Host, Nov 2024

    Unique experience. Commited guide!

    Booked this for my boyfriend’s birthday! We live in nyc but had never taken an official tour. Decided a ghost tour would be fun after dinner. Although its a group tour. We were the only ones booked so it felt like a private tour. Our guide was lovely! Super fun and extremely informative. It was like a historical tour with spooky lore. Recommend!

    Response from Host, Jul 2024

    What a great birthday idea! Thanks for choosing us—it's great to hear you had a nice time. It's always fun to discover the history hidden behind your own hometown, right?!? Come check out our other routes for another celebration—or whenever!

    A must for a fun night out.

    Christopher_R, Mar 2024
    An outstanding night walk around the Washington Square park area with the infamous professor Henry Clerval. Professor Clerval conveyed some of the famous ghost stories of the area in a pleasant, and extremely entertaining way. My wife, son and I had a great time sharing stories with the other students and the interactions with the professor. Going on Ghost Tours has become sort of a family outing when we go on trips, and this ranks among the best we have been on, informative, and entertaining, what more can you ask for. The next time we are in New York we will try one of the other tours offered.

    Excellent!

    karen_m, Mar 2024
    We had such a great time! The guide was excellent and really made the entire tour. Our teenagers loved it and did not complain about walking or the cold because the tour was so fun. We loved the history and the ghosty stories. Excellent option for older teens and adults!

    Response from Host, Mar 2024

    So glad your whole family enjoyed the tour! Thanks for joining The Professor, we hope you can check out some of our other routes in the future!

    Spooks and history in a first class tour

    Rachael_M, Jan 2024
    Prof Clerval was entertaining, well informed and a wonderful guide for our Greenwich Ghost tour. History included at no extra cost! Highly recommended - my 13 year old son says “I had the best time!”.

    Response from Host, Jan 2024

    Thanks so much for the kind words—and for that incredible review, teens can be the toughest of critics, lol! We hope to show you around on our other tours soon, too!

    Entertaining, Fun, and a little Spooky

    CarissaHoltz, Nov 2023
    Excellent tour guide - Professor Clerval of Haunted Manhattan was so animated and fun. He was a wonderful story teller, and was equal amounts spooky and compassionate about the stories (some are very tragic!). There were tourists and locals on the tour, and everyone had a great time. I would 100% recommend this tour, well worth the time and money.

    Response from Host, Nov 2023

    Thanks so much for the kind words! Hope to show you around one of our other routes soon, too.

    Great tour, lots of awesome stories!
