Fun spooky times - Our tour guide Carson was amazing! They were a really compelling story teller, and the ghost stories we heard gave us a lot to think about for the rest of our trip. The tour was definitely fun and family friendly, and we may have even had some unexpected visitors in our pictures from the night…

Lively ghost stories - Not the horror and ghoul stories I expects but s great rundown of real things that occurred and led to ghostly experiences. On top of that a good preview of buildings and areas to visit in College Hill the next day - like taking one of those sight seeing buses with a running narrative.

Providence Ghost tours are amazing! - Oh wow. This company does a fantastic job!!!! My son and I lead ghost tours in our hometown, and always try to find the local companies to take tours with when we travel. We found out about this group from the University of Rhode Island fb page. My son is a sophomore at URI in theater. The owner of the company is a URI theater alumni, so we naturally chose this tour to do. Kelly was our guide and her story telling abilities are way above fantastic. She really draws you in and maintains your attention. You could tell she is passionate about the haunted history of Providence. I also liked how she supported other tours and museums and recommended places for us to go to learn more about the stories we heard. She paused when traffic would interrupt and she made sure she was heard by all guests. She was very respectful of the areas we went to. She asked us to take pictures and share anything we found. My one thought would be that this particular tour would be hard for someone with mobility issues (I have asthma and a couple of the streets were challenging in grade). But never fear! They have other tours that sound like they could be better for those of us who can’t quite do that many hills. This tour will be great for families, as there are no jump scares. We are definitely doing more tours with them the next time I am up there. I think next time will be the investigation tour!!! 15/10 recommend! Oh, and her dress was ON POINT!

Halloween Ghost Tour in Providence - We enjoyed the history of the area provided during the walking tour. Although we did not see any ghosts, you have to check it out for yourself. Our guide, Clay, was excellent.

Fun tour for spooky season - Such a fun tour, especially during spooky season. Samantha was a lovely guide and worked hard to ensure everyone in our group had a great time. There is some hill walking involved in this tour so be sure you are comfortable with that prior to scheduling.

Ghostly review - Great tour, Kate told her stories with great animation. It was a beautiful evening. Next time I would take an earlier slot, 6 pm vs 7 pm b/c it's too dark to walk for people with poor eyesight.
