Amazing tour! - Jen who was our tour guide was absolutely fantastic! The way she told the stories was so engaging with a bit of morbid humor. I loved every single second of this tour and didn’t want it to end! I learned so much! Thank you Jen!

Spooky Summer Night in Philly - We had an amazing time with Jenn on our tour! She was very knowledgeable and really made the stories and content very interesting and engaging.

Ghost tour - This is a walking tour and Philly is humid in the summer. Bring water. Probably best for ages 12 and up. Bruce, our guide, was great. Great stories about Revolutionary times.

Not impressed - Guide was bad at reading cues from her audience. Kept us all standing for long periods of time on hot pavement or cobblestones. Stories lacked drama and finesse. Would've appreciated either an actual actor dressed for the part and having fun with it or an actual history buff who could have kept the guests attention and cleverly alluded to possible ghost sightings. Some of the language she employed was off putting to families with younger children and she didn't notice the looks she was given by parents on the tour. We opted to excuse ourselves over halfway through the tour. It was a waste of time and money for us.
