About this tour
Celebrate Halloween with a special nighttime Garbage and Rats in New York City history walking tour. We'll talk about how New York City sanitation history from the 1800s to today (pretty scary stuff), share special Halloween trash facts (it may haunt you), uncover why rats thrive in NYC (warning: may cause nightmares), and discuss what we can do to clean up (hopefully a happy Halloween ending). Rats may or may not make appearances along the way - whether that's a gross trick or sweet treat is up to you. It's the perfect tour to wrap up spooky season in NYC.
This tour is led by a graduate of the NYC Rat Academy and Sanitation Foundation Trash Academy, and a member of the NYC Rat Pack and Guides Association of NYC.
