After returning home to America, he established his own tour company Gangsters and Ghosts, which quickly became a seven-figure success. Steven’s attention to detail and ability to tell captivating stories made him one of the most sought-after tour guides in the city. He soon decided to expand his one-of-a-kind tours to New York City, Chicago, Charleston and beyond.

“The bustling tourism industries of these metropolises were unlike anything I had ever witnessed,” Garcia admits. “Within the first year of operations, we had already surpassed eight figures.”
