About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 17kayleighl0 contributionsFun and welcomingLiz was so knowledgeable, and really patient with a very inquisitive spiderman fan from another family. It was just 2 parties and I feel we got to experience the tour in a more personal way. We got to see places we would never have thought to look for. We got some amazing photos and would highly recommend anyone, not just superman's to go experience this tour. Thank you Liz 😊Written March 16, 2024
- Rahsanguerses0 contributionsDe-light-ful!!Wow this Tour was so cool!!! I loved every minute of it. Percy knee so much and his infos were so interesting. I would have loved for the tour to go on much longer! It was my favourite outing so far! Thank you :)Written March 14, 2024

I have always wanted to visit the Statue of Liberty, but our tour guide’s knowledge and enthusiasm blew us away. I was traveling with my teenage son and he was impressed too! Highly recommend!Written March 13, 2024
- 805bethp0 contributionsGreat for superhero fansLiz was a great guide. Very passionate and knowledgeable on all things superhero. Good tour to do if you’re a Marvel / DC fan as things get pointed out to you which you may not have seen. Unfortunately it was torrential rain when we did the tour, but we still enjoyed it. I was hoping you may be able to see some more sights and there be more pictures comparing it to the films. However Liz did explain that many films are not actually filmed in NYC now. I am also aware that filming locations are very spread out across the city. It would’ve been great if a list of other locations could’ve been given if you’d like to explore them yourself after the tour.Written March 12, 2024

We found this tour on the New York City pass we bought, and picked the tour just to fill time one night, not expecting too much. But it turned out to be really fun! We loved that we were in a smallish group of 8 people. It was definitely worth doing, and we’d do another next time we come to New York.Written March 4, 2024

Well, where to start! We let the company know 24hrs before the tour that one member of the party was sick so asked to rearrange. They did not meet back to us so I called and they said they could change it to the Sunday instead of the Wednesday.
Then they sent a message asking for $100 to do this (the tour already cost us $124).
They would not budge and were completely inflexible and I WOULD MOT RECOMMEND THEM.
If they reply to this with some alternative to the above it wouldn’t surprise me. Generally I write on here about good decent companies and rarely about bad ones but people should know about this.

Hello,
We have a 2 day rescheduling policy which is actually quite generous as a lot of tour companies do not allow cancelling or rescheduling at all. You had a group of 5, which is literally 20% of the capacity of this tour. By reserving and then changing last minute you prevented other guests from making reservations and causing us to lose money. This is why we have this policy. It's not money grabbing..it's business. We understand that things happen on vacation but if we made an exception for every case we'd lose a lot of money..which is the point of a business...to make money.
This most ironic part about your review is our customer service rep actually rescheduled you without charging you. So this review is a moot point. However in light of your review we will be reaching out to you regarding the situation.

Our tour guide, Laura was great. I worried I wouldn’t be able to hear everything since our group was 12-15 people but she was great at talking loud enough for everyone to hear. She acted genuinely interested in where everyone was from and told the history of our stops well.

This was a good ghost tour that was less about ghosts and more about the history of the area. It was not scary, but it is not advertised as a scary tour. Our tour guide did a great job delivering the information but I wish she either had a microphone or projected her voice a bit farther. She had a soft voice and it was challenging to hear her at times.

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback. We just wanted to clarify this information for people reading. With the exception of a few stops (which discuss murder, violence, and general macabre themes) every stop discusses ghosts. We believe without the background information on who these people were or the events in which they perished, the ghost story means nothing. No one wants a ghost story without knowing who the ghost is. We also do not have our guides use amplifiers as no one wants a ghost story screamed at them through a microphone. In the future if you take a tour and you can't hear the guide, we suggest just letting them know. Most guides are more than happy to speak a little louder if asked.
Safe Travels!

Alyssa was our guide on the ghost tour around Greenwich village. We were a very small group on new years eve. It was a fascinating look into this area of New York. Alyssa was a great guide and we would thoroughly recommend this for the history and the spooky goings on around Greenwich village.

Arrived at Waverly Diner to be greeted by an enthusiastic Luke (even though it was his second tour of the day).
Despite the freezing temperatures, there were 7 of us who braved the cold and were treated to an amazing tour by Luke.
His knowledge and story-telling kept us all intrigued and entertained throughout the night.
I will be recommending this tour to anyone who asks “what to do in NYC?”

We took this tour as part of our New York Pass (me 21, brother 23, mom 56) and had an amazing time with our guide Luke! We enjoyed the walk and views a lot, and his storytelling made us laugh but also (me) genuinely a bit scared. Would definetly recommend, even if you're not a massive fan of ghost stuff like us. You will hear a lot of interesting stories and learn some history too :)

Our guide Marshal (sp?) did a good job. We were in a rather large group but we could still hear well with her microphone. My son said he would have preferred a bit less history and a bit more spooky stuff but I think she did a good job with the area we were in. The main thing is there is a lot of walking, a lot of standing, and virtually no opportunity to sit. If you're over the hill and have already spent the day touring the city, you may find it exhausting- as did we. Our 24 year old night owl son had no such troubles.

Booked this tour as one of the activities during my visit to NYC and honestly it was better than I expected. Our tour guide Marshall was the sweetest and she was so energetic despite the cold weather and the late hour. She was very informative and always willing to answer our questions, whether they were about the Ghosts or just general NYC facts. She talked for the full 2 hours and did not run out of fun facts/stories to tell us. She was also so helpful in assisting everyone in our tour group find their respective ways back home by routing us to the nearest subway stations. If you're every in the city and want to do something new, I would definitely recommend this tour!

Our ghost tour with Top Dog was delightful! Our guide, Luke, was entertaining, full of historically accurate spooky stories, as well as great NYC recommendations. We had a wonderful time! (Nothing was too gruesome, for those who might be worried about that.) Luke and his trainee were good at keeping us all together, avoiding potential tripping hazards, and leading us safely through traffic. Highly recommended!

This tour states it is a "small group tour" and is capped at 15 people. Unfortunately, our tour had around 30 people on the tour. Not only was this entirely too many people, but over half the time we could not hear the tour guide because we couldn't get close enough to hear or because they choose an area that was extremely loud. Others on the tour were mentioning that they could not hear either. I really wish I could have gotten my two-plus hours back and done something else in NYC. It was a complete waste of time. When I contacted the tour operator they responded once and then never responded again. The first time they responded they asked where it stated it was capped at 15. So, obviously, they are VERY large group tours.

We just wanted to clarify this review. No where on OUR site does it say our groups cap at 15. When you purchase through a 3rd party service such as Viator they often lie about tour aspects to get people to book. Additionally, you stood at least 20 yards away from the rest of the group the entire tour. This is why you couldn't hear our MIKED guide. We suggest if you are so concerned about group size to book a private tour moving forward, and to pnly tour facilities indoors as cities such as NYC has noise on the streets.
