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!

Amazing, Informative Tour - We absolutely LOVED our tour! Our tour guide was very clearly passionate about not only the ghost stories he was telling, but also the history of Philadelphia itself. He was knowledgeable personable; pointing things out that weren’t even on the tour necessarily but that he felt we should know about. We learned SO much!!! Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone!

Philly ghost tour - Guide was nice but not a good story teller and could have been more captivating. Might be the material.

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.

Not Permitted to Go - We’d bought a 1 day sightseeing pass which was meant to include this tour. When we arrived we were told our pass wasn’t scanning and we wouldn’t be able to go unless we provided a credit card. As we’d already paid for the pass we weren’t prepared to do this as there was no guarantee in place it wouldn’t happen again. Still not sure if it’s a problem with Sightseeing Pass or this company, but either way we were not permitted to take a tour we’d rightly paid for and now won’t be returning to Philly, so that leaves a very sour taste for our experience! We’re from Australia so it’s not like as a remedy when they figure out between them what the problem was that we can just pop back and take the tour. The customer is always left in the middle with these passes and vendors, it’s not right!
