The guy was not a good storyteller (didn't get his name), but it was still interesting with a few good photo ops.

It was a good walking tour but not really a "spooky" ghost tour. We liked the history tie ins but if you are looking for a graveyard and such, this tour doesn't have it. It was during Philly's Covid shut downs and were glad to have the experience and it was a fun nighttime activity. Independence Hall at night is a great photo op spot!

Fantastic tour. My guide began with the basic history behind stop, then explained the paranormal nature. The pacing, stories and stops were all well-considered to engage the participants. I especially enjoyed how the tour was designed to distribute the walking fairly evenly and the happy glint in the tourguides eye when the story transitions from established history to the paranormal!
