Gritty NYC True Crime Tour with a Lawyer
Description
NO Mafia stories...no ghost stories...no olde, moldy "Gangs of New York" stories. We will visit the actual locations of 4 bizarre murders - all of which occurred during the gritty heyday of sleazy old New York City - the 1960s - 1990s. If you're a fan of fascinating true crime books + podcasts + docu-series - then you've found the right tour - this is for you. One of the murders has a strange occult/satanic backstory - which I'm able to relate in detail as I lived for a decade in the building where this murder occurred. For each of the murders we'll discuss, I've gone well beyond standard research and dug up surprising details buried in the actual case files, forgotten magazine articles, out-of-print books, and other resources. Please join me as we revisit a pre-gentrification New York - a city where anything could happen - and often did. ***** Please note: 1. This tour may not be appropriate for young children. Parental guidance is suggested. 2. We will take one short NYC bus ride.

To put this review into context, I create and narrate tours for a living. And I have taken countless tours around the world. So when I come across a good one, I want everyone to know. This is one of those tours. What sets this gifted storyteller apart from all other great tour givers, is the extensive research and analysis that he has personally done on each of these fascinating historical murders. To hear the stories from such an expert is a privilege. We were totally engaged throughout the entire experience. Not only did we learn facts that, sometimes, only he knew because he had personally interviewed eye witnesses, but he bought a real humanity to the victims… and the perpetrators. This is an unforgettable experience that any true crime fan would relish. But I am not a true crime fan. I would’ve never gone on this tour except that my family member with me is such a fan. She echoes my feeling in what an exceptional tour this is. And from a tour aspect, it transcends genres. It is just a fantastic tour.
We had an amazing time with Eddie on his true crime tour! First, he was kind enough to wait for us as we were about 10 minutes late so much appreciated. Eddie didn't stick to a script and our tour was more like a conversation and he was happy to entertain our questions and and theories. Several hours after our tour ended my daughter said the best part of the tour was how it just got her thinking and then we talked about the cases! Highly recommend!
We loved this tour! Eddie was an amazing guide and was so knowledgeable about the cases. Definitely recommend this tour!!
This is NOT another mafia tour! Be prepared to hear about some gruesome but interesting information about 3 different murderers on this tour! Eddie is very knowledgeable about the murders he is talking about. It really puts it into perspective visiting the places. Do NOT miss this one if you are a documentary or crime tv fan! Eddie will answer all of your questions and has so many of the details on the murders that you can’t just research! I was most excited about this tour and it didn’t disappoint. You can tell Eddie is invested in this!
We never got the tour. We waited for 20 minutes in an area that felt unsafe and five minutes after we left Eddie called & said he was there. They told us they wouldn't refund our money and I am beyond mad.
A lot of fun! Eddie paints a vivid picture of the time and place where these less well-known but well-documented crimes took place. Yes, really gritty...but also a slice of history and psychology! It was an engrossing tour, and I learned a lot.
My wife and I had an awesome time on Eddie’s crime tour, it was hands down the highlight of our trip! Eddie is a fantastic guide with a ton of knowledge about the area and the crimes he covers. He’s engaging, funny, and clearly well-researched, which made the whole experience both fun and informative. What really stood out to us was that he focused on lesser-known stories, not the ones you’ve already heard a dozen times on podcasts or streaming shows. It made the tour feel fresh, unique, and genuinely fascinating. We were hooked from start to finish. If you’re looking for something a little different and off the beaten path, we highly recommend this tour!
Eddie is extremely knowledgeable and such a lovely, funny and quick witted guy. He gave us so many facts, used images to help you visualise the cases and made it all such a fun and interesting experience. I’d recommend doing the tour on a day where it isn’t cold as you need to concentrate to follow the story lines and there’s a lot of standing in one spot whilst you are outside the crime scene buildings! Would definitely recommend to anyone who likes true crime!!
We had a fantastic time on this tour! Two lawyers in our group, both of us loved it. The guide was very thorough in explaining all of the murders, and he had lots of tid bits from clearly extensive research as well as first hand accounts from people he spoke with who lived in the area and knew the people involved in the crimes. Highly recommend!
You may ask yourself why would I want to tour three murder sites?? This tour is for all true crime sleuths. Tour guide gave extensive background information, unknown facts for each case, and insightful theories. Tour was well worth the money. Imagine an enjoyable afternoon with a lawyer!!
