Fun experience our guide was great! She was very articulate and spoke loud enough for our group to hear! Would definitely recommend for a fun night out!

We’d bought a 1 day sightseeing pass which was meant to include this tour. When we arrived we were told our pass wasn’t scanning and we wouldn’t be able to go unless we provided a credit card. As we’d already paid for the pass we weren’t prepared to do this as there was no guarantee in place it wouldn’t happen again. Still not sure if it’s a problem with Sightseeing Pass or this company, but either way we were not permitted to take a tour we’d rightly paid for and now won’t be returning to Philly, so that leaves a very sour taste for our experience! We’re from Australia so it’s not like as a remedy when they figure out between them what the problem was that we can just pop back and take the tour. The customer is always left in the middle with these passes and vendors, it’s not right!

We absolutely LOVED our tour! Our tour guide was very clearly passionate about not only the ghost stories he was telling, but also the history of Philadelphia itself. He was knowledgeable personable; pointing things out that weren’t even on the tour necessarily but that he felt we should know about. We learned SO much!!! Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone!

Guide was nice but not a good story teller and could have been more captivating. Might be the material.

ckralowetz

Great tour. Lots of history with a family friendly ghost story at each stop. Lots of stops—we felt like we got to see a good bit of old Philadelphia. Group was small and the guide was way to hear. Highly recommend.

It was very interesting to learn a little more history about Philadelphia. Would highly recommend!!!

Tour started 15 min late because of a no show and poor communication from guide's boss. Because of that, guide pushed the pace and kept leaving people behind. Guide also couldn't answer any questions from tour group. We left early.

It started almost 15 minutes late and didn’t seem to finish completely. We were bored by the descriptions and disappointed in the narrator and his lack of enthusiasm. Many people simply dropped out part way through the walk. I didn’t feel we got our money’s worth.

Will was terrific! He kept a good pace and I loved how he interwove history with local ghost stories. He did a great job of getting us around to a few of the sites we hadn’t been to yet on our own travels. All the participants had fun and enjoyed the evening.

Tamara_H

The tour was great. Will did a great job. He was very knowledgeable and could answer all kinds of questions about the tour. I'd highly recommend.
