This tour was terrible. Our guide definitely knew her stuff just not a great story teller. You spend more time walking around in the dark then actually getting to hear cool stories. There are DEFINITELY better night tours.

My husband and I were the only ones on the tour and we had such a great time with Aylish! He was professional AND personable! We got to learn some of the dark historical parts of Philly, and had some laughs along the way! Highly recommend Aylish’s tour!

Kayla was a wonderful guide! Very knowledgeable on history and haunting with a great sense of humor! Our party of 6 very much enjoyed the tour and I would enthusiastically recommend it to others!

Informative and fun!

The guide was super engaging and told great stories. We didn’t see any ghosts but it was great to learn a bit more of the history of the city!

The tour was both...

The tour was both informative and fun. Aylish is a great guide. I particularly enjoyed learning about the history of Washington Square.

Response from Host, Mar 2022
