Husband & I went on this tour Friday night, May 18th & had a great time... I DO believe & have several photos of "orbs" & other phenomena that I've taken in the past & I thought THEY were a big deal! However, on this tour, as we all learned creepy "stories" about each stop (including HP Lovecraft's home &... More

We went on the very last tour of the year. It was a chilly and beautiful evening with GREAT views of downtown Providence from the park where we met the tour. It was a little crowded in terms of number of people per group, but the guide did a good job of organizing us. The guide, dressed in character, provided... More

My wife, daughter and I really looked forward to the ghost tour. It was a strange and a bit disappointing experience as several of the participants, including the tour guide, seemed to believe in ghosts and supernatural beings. Some stories were fascinating, but after several hrs. of ghost chasing (“ghosts have been known to be very active around this specific... More

We had the most interesting guide who really entertained our group. He was quick to point out the history all around us (in addition to some questionable ghost stories) We had a young person in our group that he involved as a helper, which was a nice touch.

Deb was a great tour guide and story teller. The stories were good and we were taken places that I would not have thought to visit on my own - wish we had more time in the city to go back and visit inside the places Deb told us about....like the library that has books covered in Human skin that...

Tour was OK but not as interesting as I thought it would be based on the other reviews. Our guide, although pleasant enough, could have been more interactive with our large group and perhaps a little more creepy in his narratives. From my perspective, he did not ask anyone where they were from or interact much with the crowd and... More

We attended on July 9th. Our tour guide was amazing. Very interesting tour. Alot of information and really cool stories. It was about 2 hours long and there is a huge hill to walk up towards the end. Make sure you wear sneakers and bring a bottle of water with you. Really enjoyed it though!!!

We went on the Providence Ghost Tour on Saturday and it was a lot of fun. Our guide Max was funny and very informative. It was a great tour of Providence and just a great trip. I must say I'm glad I wore sneakers as there are many hills during this tour, but it did not ruin everything. Book this... More

This was more than just a ghost tour. We learned about the history in the area and enjoyed a good 1 1/2 hr. of walking through the east side of Providence. Our tour guide really got into it and made it interesting for us. Did we see Ghosts? Well.....you'll just have to go on the tour and find out for... More
