Steve was great. Alot of personal experience stories mixed with some great history which i loved. Everything was centrally located and not to spread out making the tour go by quickly.

A storm was forecast for the night of our tour but it held off long enough for us to enjoy the night. We were fortunate to have Dragon as our guide. He was eager to share his knowledge of the area and could answer all of the questions posed by the group. We learned a great deal about the history of Philadelphia and enjoyed the ghost tales as well! Dragon took the time to walk us back to the area in which we parked which was very nice! He really took the tour to a new level for us. Thank you!

My favorite part was When Millie provoked the ghosts to possess my girlfriend. JK. Millie was an awesome story teller!
