Great time!! - Listening to Clay talk about the place that we stopped at on the tour. The whole tour was excellent and Clay is a great storyteller. Had a lot of fun and saw parts of Providence that probably wouldn’t have seen.

Book this tour! - Kelly was an amazing guide! She walked us through the streets, shared so much history about the buildings and the areas we were visiting. Kelly was able to pull you right into the story, she didn’t just recite from a page. Very authentic!

Spooky fun! - Learned so many cool details about the city I live in. I love Pricidenxe even more now. My fave was the Taj Mahalish monument to AnneMarie Brown built by her beloved husband. Had no idea about that building. Can’t wait to go inside and see the sarcophagi of the loving couple inside the rose marble room. 💙❤️

Fun way to see a section of the city and learn about part of its history - The guide, I think his name was Steven, was excellent. He was very enthusiastic and engaging. We learned the city's history in a fun way while walking in the footsteps of those people. The stories and ghost stories were interesting. He was very knowledgeable, even when asked a question off his main topic. It let us walk around 2 college campus areas. We walked at a fairly brisk pace sometimes and up hills; people should be good at walking on uneven ground as well. There were people from all age groups, From seniors to children so a good multigeneration event. We ended where we started so someone can always wait in the park if they do not want to walk.

Such a cute way to get to know the history of Providence! - Such a charming town. So nice to do this tour on our first night there as a way to get to know the city and area around our AirBnb. Our guide was incredible, bubbly, funny, and knowledgeable. I learned so much about the city. It was not at all scary, but a really funny historic collection of stories =) My husband and I loved it and we had kids on the tour that were happy too!

A great tour! - My wife and I were the only 2 on the tour that evening and the tour guide came on time and off we went.

Providence is a beautiful and safe community with an abundance of history and ghostly spirits! Enjoy! Greg from PA

Wonderful evening tour! - Wonderful trip with Stephanie on a beautiful night seeing the spooky sights of the East side of Providence. My son was the only kid but loved it! He keeps asking about the Pink Lady and other stories.
