Itinerary

This building was originally built in 1814 and has changed hands more times than a sailors eaten a bowl of clam chowder. And that’s most likely due to the ghosts that haunt the joint.

This old building dates back to 1815 and in its heyday it once housed one of most popular brothels in the city.

Pass by

Built in 1749, this is pre-revolutionary building is one of the oldest still standing in Portsmouth. Below its foundation once ran the underground tunnel system that secretly connected many of the buildings in Portsmouth.

Originally built in 1785 The Rockingham was once one of the most prestigious hotels in New England. It welcomed the likes of presidents Franklin Roosevelt, JFK, Ulysses Grant and the author Mark Twain.

Pass by

Originally built in 1758 the old John Paul Jones house holds more ghosts than a than a Maine boat holds lobsters. Some say old John Paul Jones lingers in the room he once slept. Others have seen an angry spirit opening cabinets and slamming doors.

Pass by

Over the past century world renowned acts have graced its halls including the magician Harry Houdini, gun swinging Buffalo Bill Cody and that clever fella Mark Twain. The shows were so good that the ghosts decided to stick around.

A fun way to explore downtown Portsmouth

A great way to explore downtown Portsmouth! The tour made it easy and fun. I especially enjoyed the sound effects that were added. My husband and I turned the volume up and shared my phone and it worked. If we had more than just the two of us, hearing the tour may have been a challenge. Having the tour on multiple phones would be helpful.

A fun tour! Make sure you have a fully charged phone. Best to do in the cooler morning hours or early evening.

Fun but not for the expected reason

I don’t think this was intended, but I found the ghost tour really campy, in a fun way! For the price, it is 100% worth it, it takes you on a nice loop around downtown Portsmouth.

Ghosts abound!

What a fun and informative walking tour of Providence Rhode Island. Lots of stories with humor intermingled. I liked that you can stop and start easily to enjoy shops and beverages along the way.

Good tour but frustrating process

Paying for the walking tour was easy but getting access to the tour was very frustrating and cumbersome. It wasn't very clear that you needed to download a second app to access the tour.

Self Guided- unique and customized

This was a different spin on a tour throughout the city because it was self guided. We were able to skip around and even stop for browsing in stores and eating, then resuming the tour. The bits about each location was interesting.

Enjoyed Portsmouth, Nh

I enjoyed the self guided tour through Portsmouth, NH. I did find it a little bit confusing with the directions at times.
