Highly recommend

Grace_B, Sep 2026

Incredible experience! Malcolm, our tour guide, has so much knowledge and each story he told took us on an immersive journey. The ghost part of the tour, the scary part of the stories/tour, were balanced with ghosts not being scary, but memories, feelings, etc. that linger years later. Highly recommend, especially recommend Malcolm!

Fantastic Tour

MaryKay_H, Sep 2026

This was an absolutely fantastic tour. Malcom kept us captivated with his tales of time gone by. His story telling made you feel like you were walking beside the characters in the stories. It was around two hours long but I could have listened all night to the stories. It was well worth the price of the tickets. You will not be disappointed.

Don't miss this tour!!

My wife and I have been doing ghost tours for almost 20 years in just about any city we travel to that has one. They are always cool with some better than others. However, this one was by far and away the best we've ever been on. We had Malcolm and the wealth of historical knowledge he possessed about Philly and that he salt and peppered our group with throughout the evening just blew us away; and I grew up in Philly and my wife, and I lived in Center City in the early 1990s! Malcolm's ability to engage and captivate you as he told us so many stories on the walk was excellent and we learned so much that night. I have also never been on a Ghost Tour that was a good 2 hours 45 minutes but we went in early June, and we lucked out because as the evening wore on it actually got a little chilly!

Exceptional Tour Guide

Tricia_M, Apr 2026

Malcolm, our tour guide, was exceptional. Not only did we learn a great deal of history, but he also kept us engaged and interested throughout the entire tour. Even when it started to rain, he remained very accommodating and ensured we still had a great experience.
