HISTORICAL NYC TOURS/TALKS WITH MARIE
Marie is a licensed tour guide, as well as a tour developer and researcher, with Boroughs of the Dead, a boutique tour company devoted to strange, dark and unusual walking tours of New York City.
Marie has designed and leads the tour "Haunting Histories and Legends of Astoria" and also guides other BotD tours in Roosevelt Island, Brooklyn Heights, Greenwich Village, the Lower East Side, and Lower Manhattan.
In 2025, Marie joined the team of Cats About Town Tours, NYC's first walking tour for cat lovers that chronicles the lives of the courageous and curious cats who left their mark on the 1800s and early 1900s.
