Well Worth the Cost! - My daughter and I went on the Newport Olde Town Ghost Walk last night and it was very enjoyable. Our guide Sarah did an excellent job of taking our group through the tour, stopping at various places and telling local ghost stories and lore. She was quite animated and informative. I was previously familiar with some of the stories but learned new things. We specially enjoyed stopping in the old Trinity Church cemetery and walking Newport's "most haunted street". Despite the chilly, rainy weather of this early April night, Sarah did not let the weather bother her and was very professional throughout her 90 minute presentation.

Great tour ! - We’ve done a lot of ghost tours - they’re a great way to get the non-stuffy history of a city. But, it is determined by the guide and their storytelling abilities. This was one of the good ones ! Our guide was Richard, and he was phenomenal - charismatic and funny ! We thoroughly enjoyed our walk through historic Newport.

Fun, informative and spooky - Our guide James was incredible, he was very knowledgeable about the area and its history. There was an intense fog that blanketed the town which added to the spooky ambiance. I wasn't a believer and still not completely sure I am now but I cannot explain what my camera picked up this night. Upon reviewing the pics later that evening, there are 2 images on the far right next to the green light that were not visible to the naked eye. This is my 1st experience with the supernatural, it was very intense looking at the pics when we got back to the hotel. My girlfriend also had some weird images pop up in a couple of her pics as well, in the same area. Really weird but awesome

Ghostly Walk - 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.

You'll have fun, no matter what! - 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!
