Paul C (Tripadvisor) 5*

Embarking on a solo tour that delved into the unique aspects of death management within New York City proved to be an unexpectedly enlightening experience. What stood out, even more, was our guide — an absolute gem. With a knack for storytelling that was as entertaining as it was informative, Krombie unearthed hidden facets of the city with a hearty amount of laughter. A great experience to peer beyond the city’s bustling life.
