Fun night. Loved learning about some history of the area. Saw some beautiful buildings and parts of Brown University and RISD. Great view at the meeting spot.

My fiancé’s sister and her fiancé came to visit from KS and we decided that we wanted to do a ghost tour to keep the trip fun, but low key. We had done one in Boston and had a blast so we figured we would give this a try… WE LOVED IT (even more than our Boston tour). I’ve lived here for about 8 years and felt like I got a new look at PVD. Courtney was fantastic! She was so kind and very good at storytelling. Each location felt like it was important and the stories seemed so grounded. We appreciated how much respect Courtney had for the people who shared their stories with her and team. The views were great and walking felt comfortable, not too much. It even drizzled a little and we didn’t mind at all. We’re all in our 20s and had a great time!! We all would’ve paid more for it because it’s great, but appreciated that it’s so affordable!!

Ghost Tour guide "Kelly" was absolutely entertaining and fascinatingly knowledgeable about the history of Providence. I enjoyed that the sites had significant paranormal incidents that were clearly connected to the history of the sites here in Providence and in very important parts of history. It was very family friendly and and everyone was very entertained as I was. This is a must for everyone visiting Providence, and I will definitely go again when I return. :)

Amazing tour. Kelly was our tour guide and she was very animated, dressed to the part with a black witches dress and very informative. She even showed us pictures at the end of actual sightings from past tours. I would definitely recommend and also make sure Kelly is your guide!!

I’ve been on ghost tours from Salem, Mass to Catalina Island and just about everywhere in between. Providence ghost tours was hands down the best I’ve been on. Kelly was an amazing purveyor of wonder, story teller, and poetry reciter I’ve ever had the fortune of following.

Excellent tour! Both very interesting and entertaining. Our guide Kelly was very passionate and knowledgeable. My wife and I have already recommended to friends and random strangers on the street. RIP George.

We had a great time on the Ghost Tour with Cate. She was really lovely and informative, and not put off by the rain. Definitely worth doing if you're in Providence

Shelly was a fantastic guide. We took so many pictures and learned a lot about the city. It was informative and fun to hear about all the ghost sightings. My teenage son and I went, and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

The Parasols and Pocket Watches tour was so much fun! Cortney was our tour guide and taught us about Rhode Island history through wonderful storytelling. She was very knowledgeable and was happy to answer our many questions. Her delivery was fantastic in that she really drew you into the stories of some of the early families that left Massachusetts to settle in what is now Providence. Highly recommended!
