The tour did not match the descriptin on the website at all. There were no captivating and ghostly tales. There were no surprise stops along the way to explore. At one stop we walked a block through peole eating dinner at restaurants while the tour guide was silent. He told us where he was born and where he was mugged. It was basically the daytime tour. Not at all as described. Huge waste of time and money.
Tour guide, Nick, and his driver were great. Fun night out in Philly learning new tidbits of information about the city and it's local haunts. Not a true ghost tour but fun nonetheless. Would recommend going with a group of friends. BYOB and there are two small walking portions. Had a great time.
While our tour guide told us a lot about the city's history, it was not "spooky" at all. It was nice to learn about the city, we were just hoping for it to be a little more Halloween-ish as the title led us to believe. Overall, our tour guide was good and informative and the trolly itself was nicely decorated.
Great tour and fun stories! Fun way to explore the city. Something for tourists and Philly natives alike.
I didn’t get the tour guide’s name, but he was highly entertaining and made sure we saw all the stops. The perfect way to sightsee the city without having to walk!
