"I can't thank you enough for making the Ghost Tour possible for my daughter and our friends Saturday. Katya was lovely and a fount of information. It was a chilly day but we were all warmed by her enthusiasm and lively presentation. I will pass on the good word as often as I can."

"I highly recommend Dr. Phil's Ghosts of New York walking tours. I just took the one called "Peter Stuyvesant and His Ghostly Friends of the East Village" and found it fascinating .. excellent research...facts and stories about not just Stuyvesant, but John Jacob Astor, Hamilton Fish, Harry Houdini, Joe Papp, Edgar Allan Poe and other colorful deceased New Yorkers who still unnerve the living by showing up at the various sites along the tour, which involves a moderate amount of by no means tiring walking. The personable guide shared with evident glee her bountiful information about history, literature and, of course, spooks!"
