Entertaining history lesson

Really fun and informative. Bonus if you go-in knowing a little bit of mob history beforehand because the tour includes a LOT of historical names and stories, but Joel makes all of it very entertaining (and has great sound effects).

Highly Recommended! A deeply informative and engaging glimpse in this unique aspect of NYC history!

Ray was phenomenal guide! He imparted his incredible depth of knowledge in a personable and engaging manner. He was also able to relate to all three generations of our group equally. The tour exceeded all of our expectations and I have already recommended it to our friends. Thank you for a wonderful walking tour and its fascinating dive into this unique aspect of New York City’s history.

Amazing guide!

Great tour overall! The guide was so knowledgeable and carefully tailored the tour to our interests. He was engaging and fun to listen to, and we appreciated the photos on his tablet which tied the tour together with historical pictures. We actually did two tours back to back, the second being a tour that led us to Little Italy. I strongly recommend both or either tour! Also, the tour was not just about mobs… he also pointed out architectural and historical points of interest too, which I loved.

Great tour!!

We had the best time with Tom Coca. He was full of great information. Being from a Sicilian family from California, we enjoyed sharing stories and words. His stories were from personal experiences which made it that much better.

Mafia Walking Tour

Very entertaining and informative tour. Learned about the oldest and best gangsters. Love some of the stories and characters the guide played. But the highlight of the tour was walking the same streets that this history played out on. Amazing to see old photos of buildings and see them today virtually unchanged.
