If you are looking for a fun, historic, informative and sufficiently creepy walk through historic East Providence, then you must TAKE THIS TOUR! I had the pleasure of experiencing it a few days ago and had an absolute blast! The tour snakes you around the the landmark houses and buildings in and around the campuses of Brown University and the... More

It is fun. We had a lot of fun. But they kept talking about a lot of amazing ghost pictures... that are nowhere on their site. I'm kind of a skeptic, so all these amazing pictures sounded like something to take home and put on my fridge. None. I think all of the 'orb' pictures are just camera effects from... More

we purchased this tour through a groupon, and with that it was an excellent deal. it is a walking tour so not recommended for those who have difficulty walking expecially since some of the pavement and sidewalks are not the best. the tours are at night, of course, and they are very informative and interesting. If you are looking for... More

My 17 year old daughter and I were staying in Providence for a week, and I booked this tour in advanced (great on line website - cost was only $15.00 per person); the tour guide was charming and he seemed to know a lot about the areas and 'ghost stories' while we enjoyed the 1.5 hour walking tour through the...

I've been on a few different walking hunted tours and this one was rather disappointing. Their website plays it up nicely but the actual tour was lacking. If the 10 stories and stops 3 or 4 had nothing spooky or haunting about it. Everything was based around Brown university with a house or two on the way. Seems like they... More

I've done several ghost tours and this one was just ok. It's very informative and the walk isn't tremendously difficult but I just wasn't that into it. The guide was super nice and funny but like I said it just wasn't as appealing to me.

In providence looking at schools with my kid and we took the ghost tour without prepurchased tickets on a cool July Friday evening. The guide was sweet and spooky. The ghost stories were interwoven with historical facts about the city. Great time.

I am a high school counselor who works with students in a group home. It is VERY hard to find events that capture their attention for more than 30 minutes, so when I read the tour was 90 minutes I was a bit nervous. Well, the girls absolutely LOVED the tour, our guide was extremely informative (even reciting Poe on... More

Learned some history, was entertained and got some exercise for $12 (with coupon code). It started in prospect park with its beautiful views of Providence, some welcomed cool breezes, and the story behind roger williams' grave/memorial/statue. We heard (history and ghostly) stories about lots of great old buildings and houses. I had been on the brown university tour the day... More

I really like anything of the supernatural persuasion. I found the ghost tour to be very informative and our guide was great at making the history presented relevant. Some of the stops were based on minor experiences (someone claiming they heard noises in one of the rooms) but there were a lot of things I never knew about Providence (such... More
