Overview

Immerse yourself in the dramatic underworld of New York’s gangland on this fascinating insider’s tour of the Mafia, including stops at authentic, historic local joints for delicious Italian food.

We designed this tour with the help of a retired NYPD Detective born and raised in Little Italy. He helped us to create an experience from a true “insider’s perspective” of the East Village NYC mafia stories.
Growing up witnessing some of New York’s famous families and having consulted for TV and major film productions on both crime and law enforcement, has contributed to develop this unique tour.
Our expert tour guides lead this experience in the East Village & Little Italy, following the footsteps of notorious New York Mobsters!
You will visit notorious Mafia and Crime locations, share true crime stories, and eat amazing food from the neighbourhood
