Sharon our Ghost guide was superb. She truly brought the dead back to life! I learned a lot about Newport in the process.

Great information with a fun, ghostly theme. Our “ghost host” was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about Newport’s haunted history. Very chilly but the weather added to the tour.

I and my wife firmly believe in ghosts. We enjoyed this tour very much. Rachel, our guide, knew a lot about the city and the haunted locations. If you go into this hoping to confirm the truth about ghosts, you'll set yourself up for too high expectations. There are definitely instances of ghosts and enjoyable stories of hauntings. Treat this as a fun, nighttime tour of Newport, with the potential to be spooked. The tour guides bring an amazing atmosphere to the event! We had so much fun!

Thank you Jeff for an awesome tour of Newport, Rhode Island. Very interesting, spooky, and super fun. I was skeptical about the supposed hauntings, but we did see some crazy stuff in the pictures that changed my mind. Jeff was funny, positive, great storyteller. Awesome tour.
