A great tour!! My tour guide Josh was excellent, super knowledgeable and a great storyteller. A great walking tour packed full of history and spookiness! I highly recommend a tour here, and a tour with Josh specifically!

Josh was our tour guide. Great orator and well versed in historical tidbits and background influencing the lore of an easily walkable part of historic Philadelphia. I’ve live in Philadelphia for 24 years and was blown away by the historical significance of some of the buildings I’ve walked by countless times. A true eye opening tour for locals and visitors alike. Really enjoyed it as did some pedestrians that stopped and took in some of Josh’s stories as well. Solid tour and an excellent guide! Highly recommend.

This was a very disappointing tour. I have booked tours all over the world with Viator and never had a bad one until now. Tour was supposed to start at 8pm. I received a phone call at 6 asking if I still wanted to go. I said yes and she told me it had to be moved to 8:30 and did I still want to go. I said no give me a refund and she said no refunds. So I said I guess we will go at 8:30. No one showed up. I attempted calling support for the local tour company Ghost Adventures but never got anyone. At 8:45 another tour was ending and I approached the guide and he said, oh yes. Do you still want to go? We said yes and he said ok, we'll do a quick one. The guide's name was Aiden and it seemed like he got stuck with us. The tour lasted 45 minutes and was not great. He seemed like he was just making stuff up as he went. And he had almost no historical knowledge of Philadelphia. I was very disappointed.

More of a history tour than a ghost tour. Gorgeous locales especially at night but the spooky stories felt tacked on than the main course of the tour!

Kimberly_S

A great walk, seeing the city at night. The guide created a great balance of history and fun, keeping adults and children entertained.

We thoroughly enjoyed our spooky tour! Our guide was so sweet and knowledgeable! Even adding in some personal anecdotes and stories. Not a bad walk at all. Very flat.

Sandra_P

Our guide was terrific! Very knowledgeable and approachable for questions. The tour went at a comfortable pace for all and we saw and learned more than we anticipated. Thank you very much!

James_H

Many tales of ghosts most memorable was Benedict Arnold. Throughly enjoyed the night as did my daughters

Azzurekat

Our guide was excellent! He was fun and informative. We walked a bit but it was level ground, and we were accommodated when we needed to go a bit slower. We only had four in our group, so it was a bit easier to accommodate us, not sure how a larger group would be. I definitely recommend this tour, it was historic as well as spooky. A+
