Interesting evening activity
Stacy_S, Mar 2023
Meeting our tour guide, Casey,& hearing his interesting stories about Philadelphia’s specters. Lots of bodies buried here & many ghosts sticking around. The tour was only an hour (not the 2 hours described) and was very walkable. Casey was great!
Not worth it, less than amateur!
Shea_M, Mar 2023
We expected a professional ghost/history experience. The meeting location was confusing. The guide looked homeless with torn shoes/clothes. He was somewhat knowledgeable, but not expert. I expected a much more organized & entertaining tour with my family. Extremely disappointed & im tempted to ask for a refund due to it being a horrible waste of our time.
Had a very great time

Our tour guide was amazing. Claire was very informative. We love history so it was very interesting. But honestly wasn’t as scary as I was expecting. Still would recommend to others.

Issues: - Couldn’t hear his voice since he didn’t project - Spoke as though trying to remember lines from a script - Stories weren’t spooky

Lisa_B, Oct 2022
Informative tour, would like to have been longer (was less then an hour). Tour guide was nice could have talked a little louder (hard to hear with the traffic in the streets).
Great must do tour

Philly with a Spooky Twist
Gail_J, Oct 2022
Enjoyed a great tour of Philly’s historical sights, with a ghostly twist. Steve ushered us around on a chilly night with deep knowledge of the history of 18th C Philly and reports of those figures from the past who are reported to still be in attendance. Fun, informative and a little bit spooky. A great way to spend a few hours, learn a lot, and get a few spooky thrills. Highly recommend.
We loved Zoe’s enthusiasm...

Story update part II. ~ Oddly, Zoey had given us her business card; when we looked for it later, there was no card to be found! Hmmm....Maybe she was a ghost herself!? Anything is possible, we suppose! Lastly, we were not booking the extended trip, but somehow we automatically were categorized for such. All taken a de-fright-ful night! Stay in touch. Go Drexel!
Philly Ghost tour
Troy_P, Sept 2022
Guide was very knowledgeable, took his time to explain the history of the sites and very personable. The nuances of each site and the background behind the potential ghosts was fascinating.
Fun night out
Laura_A, Sept 2022

A wonderful tour in an amazing historic city. Highly recommend!!!
Cynthia_G, Sept 2022
Our tour guide Zoey was fantastic! Friendly, knowledgeable & funny. Almost like taking a tour with a friend. Took time to answer questions & was super kind to a little girl on the tour.
Very informative and fun storytelling
Kimberlin_F, Sept 2022
I am a history buff and my son is starting to get interested, so this tour was great for us. We enjoyed hearing the background of the important buildings, as well as the "sightings" that have been observed! We didn't get the pleasure of seeing any ghosts on this tour but we still enjoyed it very much!
Fun Filled Philadelphia Night
Elizabeth_G, Aug 2022
The night was filled with laughs and we enjoyed learning more about all the ghost that are still living in our Philadelphia city! Zoe our tour guide was extremely vibrant and sweet! Definitely planning on doing it again!
Worth the walk.
