Ghost Walk did not disappoint - Richard was delightful, entertaining, funny, informative, and a wonderful storyteller. The pace was easy but it does get chilly at night in May. I highly recommend this activity.

Fun and entertaining, spooky! - The ghost tour is a fun romp around Newport RI, with some fun facts and some spooky stories. It's not a séance and if you think you will get concrete evidence of ghosts, maybe don't go. It is very entertaining if you have an open mind and enjoy having fun. Our tour guide was delightful and there were some genuinely spooky places and stories. I will not think of Newport the same way again and I am inspired to do more research on the area. We honestly had a great time. Note: the streets we walked on were cobblestone many times and there was a lot of uneven ground. The tour is also at night, pitch black.

Book the tour! - The tour was great. John is knowledgeable and has a great flare for the dramatic (not too much, just enough) for the ghost stories he tells. You also get a lot of Newport history so if you're into that like I am, it's a bonus.

A must do after hours activity! - When you want to enjoy all that Newport has to offer and if you want something to do in the off hours this tour is for you! We enjoyed Jeff’s funny jokes and personality while he takes you through Newport and talks of the paranormal activity surrounding you, along with history lessons around every turn. It’s fun and fascinating and lets you see Newport in a different light.
