This tour with was fantastic! Our guide, Josh, was knowledgeable and passionate, blending spooky tales with historical facts and some humor too. Whether you love history or just enjoy a ghost story, this tour is a must-do in Philly. I have lived in the area for most of my life and I learned so much about the history of the city that I never knew before! I left feeling entertained and enlightened, and can't wait to join another tour with this company 👻

Josh was our tour guide. Great orator and well versed in historical tidbits and background influencing the lore of an easily walkable part of historic Philadelphia. I’ve live in Philadelphia for 24 years and was blown away by the historical significance of some of the buildings I’ve walked by countless times. A true eye opening tour for locals and visitors alike. Really enjoyed it as did some pedestrians that stopped and took in some of Josh’s stories as well. Solid tour and an excellent guide! Highly recommend.
