Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this ghost tour? Looking to take my kids!

A: Great question! The Ghost Tour of Philadelphia is generally suitable for ages 10 and up. Kids might find it a bit spooky, but it’s a fun way to learn about the city’s history. Just keep in mind that the tour walks through dark areas, so it’s good to prep them for some ghostly tales!

Q: What should we wear for the tour? Is it outdoors the whole time?

A: Definitely dress for the weather, as the tour is mostly outdoors. I’d recommend comfortable walking shoes since you’ll be on your feet for a couple of hours. In cooler months, a jacket is a must since it can get chilly walking around at night in Philly—especially near Independence Park!

Q: How likely are cancellations due to weather? I want to plan this as a surprise gift.

A: Weather can definitely affect the tours, especially in winter. They usually run unless there are severe conditions, but if you need to reschedule, it's pretty easy. Just give them a call or email a day in advance. They’re super accommodating!

Just took the Ghost Tour in Philly - absolutely chilling!

Wow, what an experience! I went last weekend with a couple of friends, and our guide was unbelievable. He really brought the stories to life! We walked around Independence Park and even stopped by some haunted spots like the City Tavern. Perfect for anyone into history or spooky tales. Highly recommend it as a unique gift!

Looking for the perfect spooky gift idea!

I’m thinking about getting my friend a ghost tour experience for her birthday. She loves all things haunted, especially in Philly! Any tips on the best time to go? I want it to be memorable and maybe catch some cool ghost stories.
