A Must If Visiting Providence, RI. - A last minute tour booking. We decided to take a drive to Providence while in Boston for the week. What a wonderful tour. Our tour guides were incredibly knowledgeable and were fantastic storytellers. Wear comfortable shoes as the uphill and downhill walks are a thing. It’s a long and beautiful walk up and down the college hill area. Police presence everywhere and we felt incredibly safe on this evening tour. Note that the street parking ends at 9 pm as the area is primarily residential.

Ghost tour sprinkled with humor - My husband and I took this tour the other night. We were part of a large group led by a very entertaining guide. He incorporated lots of humor in each of the ghost stories he told, and kept the group engaged. We had a wonderful time going through campuses, visiting landmarks, and learning some history of Providence. He made sure we crossed the street safely and were able to take pictures, ask questions, etc. This tour made for a fun evening and I would recommend it for adults and kids. We would do it again!!

A Good Night for History & Haunts - My husband and I always try to take a Ghost Tour (if not available, another type of tour) whenever we visit a new city or area. It's a great way to see the "famous" parts of town, hear about the history, get our bearings for the next day AND ask questions about the City and places to explore - not to mention the incredible architecture of these historic neighborhoods that look so different at night! We both agreed that our guide, Cait, for the Haunted History Walking Tour of Providence was the best guide we've had in any City! The stories she shared were interesting and very well presented; she has a great voice and shared updates to the stories as we went along! The sights we visited were varied; each one different and interesting in their own way. We were a smaller group and were able to share personal stories of our own experiences which added to the fun and ambience. Would definitely recommend taking this tour - and ask for Cait when you do!
