Greenwich Village looks like one of the prettiest corners of Manhattan, and it is. It is also built on top of its own history in a very literal way. Beneath the lawns of Washington Square Park lie the remains of an estimated 20,000 people, laid to rest back when this was the city's potter's field. Whispers of the Village is our all-ages tour, and it lets younger guests and grown-ups alike in on the secret the daytime crowds walk right past.

Your guide takes you from the park's old hanging elm, a tree that has stood here for more than three centuries, to the rooms where Edgar Allan Poe lived and wrote during his New York years. Along the way you'll hear about the painters, poets, and performers who made the Village their home and, if the stories are true, decided to stay on well past their time.

This is history and ghost story woven together, told the way a good story should be. It is spooky enough to thrill a curious kid and rich enough to surprise an adult who thinks they already know New York. No gore, no actors leaping from doorways, just the genuine, slightly haunted past of one of America's most famous neighborhoods.

Whispers of the Village Ghost Tour FAQ

Everything you need to know before you go

Is Whispers of the Village a good tour for kids?

It is. Whispers of the Village is our all-ages tour, built around real Greenwich Village history and the kind of ghost stories that give you a chill without the nightmares. Curious kids, parents, and grandparents all tend to walk away happy.

How much walking does the tour involve?

We cover a little over a mile of flat city sidewalks at an easy pace, with frequent stops to tell stories and take photos. Most guests find it a comfortable evening stroll.

What kinds of stories will I hear on this tour?

You'll hear about the burial ground hidden beneath Washington Square Park, the old elm that has watched over the neighborhood for centuries, the years Edgar Allan Poe spent living and writing in the Village, and the artists and writers who, by many accounts, never really left.

When does the tour run?

We run Whispers of the Village in the evening, year-round. Check the booking page for the current schedule and to reserve your spot.

Does the tour go out in the rain?

We walk rain or shine, and a little mist over the Village only makes it better. We'll only reach out about rescheduling if the weather turns genuinely unsafe.

Can we bring our dog?

Absolutely. Friendly, leashed dogs are welcome to come along. We're happy to have them as long as they're comfortable walking with a group for 90 minutes.

Is this a walking tour?

Yes. Every Ghost City Tour is a walking tour, and Greenwich Village is one of the best walking neighborhoods in the country. You'll experience these streets the way they're meant to be seen, on foot and up close, instead of peering out the window of a trolley.
