Five Points Haunted Tour

The Guide was very energetic and informative

We went on the Five Points Haunted Tour last night with tour guide W. M. Blackwood. I love the history of my city, and I am a big fan of Gangs of New York, so when I heard about this tour, I just had to go. It was a great tour, and our guide just took it to another level. William is extremely knowledgeable about all things 5-Points and was hitting us with so many facts and stories it was like drinking water from a firehose. William shares these stories with you in such a theatrical & entertaining way that makes the tour a lot of fun and really brings the characters to life. I would highly recommend this tour.

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!

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.

Great tour! William was a knowledgeable, entertaining, and engaging guide. We had so much fun! 10/10 would recommend.

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.

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.

This tour experience was the most delightful combination of macabre ghost stories and NY history! W.M. was knowledgeable and a creative wordsmith with a talent for storytelling. I cannot recommend this experience enough!

We really enjoyed our tour guide. We were the only 2 people on the tour so it felt very personal and the guide was very nice and very knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the neighborhood and the history.

We had a great time on this tour! The host was funny, chasrismatic and very knowledgeable about the history of the area.

My boyfriend and I were the only ones on this tour, and we had a great time. Highly recommend for history lovers!

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 :-)

Such a fun way to explore the city and learn some history. Blackwood (Bailey) was exceptionally knowledgeable, engaging, and it was a pleasure to explore the city with them. Can’t recommend this experience enough. A silly good time! Wear comfy shoes though because this covers a lot of ground. I wore heeled boots and fear I shall never recover, and what was once my feet shall haunt the Five Points neighborhood for the rest of time.

This was an incredible ghost tour, my guide Bailey (W. M. Blackwood) was very knowledgeable about the history of the area. They were incredibly entertaining and very helpful. I've been on several ghost tours and this was one of the best, I can't recommend this tour enough.

I just did this tour a few nights ago with Bailey and it did NOT disappoint. He was extremely knowledgeable, referencing different historical events and dates. Additionally, he is a gifted storyteller! His delivery was so captivating and I enjoyed every minute of it. The images he pulled up helped put the stories into context, and added to the spookiness of the crimes he talked about. I highly recommend this tour!

Absolutely loved the tour!! I learned so much fun stuff about the area. The tour guide was knowledgeable and also very funny!

My daughter and I enjoyed our tour immensely. W M Blackwood was tremendously entertaining and knowledgeable about the area we were touring. I definitely recommend Haunted Manhattan. Worth every penny!! Make sure you carry cash to tip at the end. Guides are worth it!!

Great fun! Exciting stories and lots of fascinating historical facts! Our guide provided lots of great stories about New York City!
