Our guide was the highlight! - Fun tour, visited a few sites that I haven't been to before. Our guide, whose name I can't remember, was fantastic. He was extremely animated in his storytelling and changed the inflection on almost every word he spoke, which was so unique that it was captivating to listen to. It was a last second decision to do the tour and we caught it just as it was starting. Would absolutely recommend it. Short walks between sites, so good for all ages.

Affordable, Entertaining, Educational - I am local to Philly, have taken walking tours before, and was very impressed with the content and everything I learned. This tour definitely featured off the beaten path history and hauntings that I hadn’t heard of before. Our guide V was really knowledgeable, engaging and friendly. Highly recommended. The price also makes this an incredible value.

Lots of history and a little mystery - This tour was well worth the price of admission. Michael was a very fun and knowledgeable guide. I liked learning some of the history of Philly along with some of the mysterious events that happened in the City of Brotherly Love.

Ghost Tour - Bea was a great story teller. There was confusion on the meeting place, and we got a call from a second tour guide saying we were supposed to be on his tour. Not sure what happened there. We didn’t see all the sites listed, but the ones we did visit were beautiful with great stories to go with them. It was a fun night!

Awful - I've been on better ghost tours. I don't know if it was the tour guide or the tour itself but the stories were boring, hard to hear over traffic or others standing nearby on the street, the path layout for the stops were all over the place, and I'm pretty sure the tour guide was high. Fairly certain that he sent us off to the bathroom at a nearby bar because when we came back he smelled strongly of weed and general demeanor reflected someone under the influence. This was not worth the money I paid.
