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.

scarletc660

It was just amazing! Courtney it’s an amazing storyteller, you can hear in her voice how much she loves this stories and buildings, it was an incredible experience! Definitely recommend it if you love ghost stories ❤️

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!

rainbowquiche

Our tour guide was great, and they were so mindful of the group's safety and capacity as we walked around College Hill. Would definitely recommend this for people who have lived in RI and have never done it or people who are just visiting.

A wonderful, relaxing time for the family exploring our town and hearing curious stories told by a skilled actor/speaker.

The tour (led in our case by Kelly) was a great way to see College Hill and learn some of its fascinating history. We started by taking in a lovely view of the city from Prospect Terrace and learning a bit about Roger Williams, then struck off into the surrounding neighborhood. We learned about the residents' roles in U.S. history from the Revolution to the Civil War to present-day...and how many of them haven't quite been able to bring themselves to leave despite the mild inconvenience of having died. The tale of E.A. Poe and Sarah Helen Whitman that we learned was fascinating and heartbreaking, and the history and sightings at the Annmary Brown memorial will encourage anyone to (as our guide put it) set some loftier #relationshipgoals. Definitely recommend checking this out; now it's time to look and see who might have appeared in the photos we took 👻
