10-14-09: Our tourguide, Nicole, was very good. She seemed very knowledgeable. (I didn't think it was appropriate to ask for tips.) Only problem on the tour was with the completely obnoxious and disruptive 60+ year old drunk couple from TN. Stay home drunks, let the rest of us enjoy!

Really bad tour guide - AWFUL
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/19/09
She mixed up all the facts and some of the stories didn't make sense. It was clear she had memorized a script and knew nothing about any of the buildings. The stories don't make sense and aren't scary ... if the guide was any good, this could have been worth it.
This tour was great. We had 20 some people in our tour and our guide was very enthusiastic. We "walked" out of the tour knowing that "they are everywhere."

Greatest tour in Philly!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/15/07
Our school group thoroughly enjoyed this experience, and so did the chaperones! We go back every year! It's a great combo of history and spookiness

Do not pay to see this
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/19/07
I booked this trip with a group of middle school students on a trip to Philly this summer. I thought it would be ok. WOW! I was wrong.
Our storyteller was terrible at capturing attention, and was absolutely awful at telling a story! Usually, during a story, the storyteller starts at the beginning and ends at the end. She was all over the place.
Do not do not do not do not waste your time and money on this useless tour.
This was the most relaxing part of our trip. I thought our hostess did a great job of keeping it very interesting. Learned alot of history and saw a different side of Philadelphia. We would recommend this tour.

terrible
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/03/07
I want my $15 back. It was terrible, and the storyteller was not even believeable, making jobs and inappropriate comments when there were 10 year old children in our group.

More for kids
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/13/05
I think that the tour was good for kids, but not really for adults. I liked some of the stories, but the tour guide was poor at building suspense...the stories just kind of ended.
The end of the tour was good because it ended at an old time pub. Try the Benjamin Franklin Pale Ale...expensive but good!

Awful
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/02/04
Unless you have a sense of humor, this tour is awful. Storyteller is a joke! He was very anti-climatic and he never looked at the audience. Not scary at all. On the other hand, if you have a great sense of humor, this might be worthwhile just for the fun of it. Just watch out... for the HAG... of Pine Street.
