Host was knowledgeable and entertaining but it's not much of a ghost tour. More of a history lesson.
Response from Host , Jul 2022

Fun to do something different

James was very well prepared. He was knowledgeable about ghost hunting, the history and Philadelphia in general. He communicated well and checked in with all of the guests regularly. He wore a portable mic so everyone in a larger group would be able to hear him.
Response from Host , Jul 2022
Hi Stephanie! We love your feedback! James is an amazing guide and storyteller! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re glad you enjoyed your time with us, and we hope you’ll check out one of our other locations and tour experiences in over 35 cities or an overnight stay at usghostadventures.com!

Not too scary for kids.

James was pretty knowledgeable. It is nice to see the city from a different perspective. I may or may not have captured the image of a ghost in the window. See for yourself. Our guide used an EMF detector and a “Spirit Box”. We attended with an 8 and 10 yr old and it was not too scary for them. Overall I would recommend for something different to do while in Philly. We also got to see a “Karen” in the wild which out tour guide dealt with professionally.

Bad weather should cause a cancellation.

As the tour began, it was raining, windy, and lightening covered the area. Your leader did his best to keep interest, but story telling in the midst of weather like that was hardly of interest. As the Walking began, my wife and I abandoned the effort. We took Uber back to our hotel to dry out.

We were looking forward to the ghost tour but did not meet our expectation. A new tour guide person took us around but was not ready to take control of the tour. She needs more experience. The information was good but there were times that the tour person choked. The tour is fun but the correct person will make it better.

Steve was great. Alot of personal experience stories mixed with some great history which i loved. Everything was centrally located and not to spread out making the tour go by quickly.

James was cool!

Liked it. I do think it was a bit pricy but. To be fair we walked around for like 2h in the cold and our guy, James, talked the entire time. Was pretty cool
Great guide, meh tour

The guide was great and had great stories. My friend and I tipped him. But, the tour itself was a bit underwhelming. I think rebranding the tour as a historic tour with sprinklings of conspiracy.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
