Our tour guide Jeremy was super knowledgeable and very friendly. We learnt lots about spooky places around Philadelphia, including Washington square and its haunted history, saw the Bishop White residence, the Powel house, city tavern and so much more. Jeremy was very happy to answer questions and he was great with all my family including my 6 year old. I can thoroughly recommend this tour and guide. Thanks Jeremy!

The stories were good, however, the tour guide walked too fast and lost sight of the group when crossing s streets leaving many behind

Jeremy was a great story teller. Dressed all in black and carrying a lantern, he wove his tales of ghosts in a deep and dramatic voice that drew us in to his stories. My teenage boys loved it! Our group was convinced that they saw and captured photos of ghosts of an older man and a young girl seen in the windows of the Bishop White House, as darkness fell. I’m not sure if it wasn’t just the lighting, but enlarging the windows in some of the photos had the definite impression of a face and one woman in the group described a young girl in a third floor window with great sincerity and convincing detail. It was certainly an interesting tour that wove real history into ghostly tales
