Q&A
A: The Ghosts of Old City tour is generally suitable for all ages, but it might be a little scary for younger kids. It's really more about the storytelling and history than any jump scares, so I think middle schoolers and up would get the most out of it. Just be sure to check with the tour guide if you have specific concerns!
A: Yes, the tour is outdoors and it can get chilly in the evening, especially in fall! I recommend wearing comfortable shoes since you'll be walking a lot. Layers are key, too—you can always take a jacket off if it gets warm. And don’t forget your phone for spooky pics!
A: If the weather is really bad, Step Into Philly Tours typically offers rescheduling options. Just make sure to check their cancellation and rescheduling policy when you book. Most likely, you'll be able to find another date that works for you!

Just went on the Ghosts of Old City tour—here's what I thought!
I recently did the Ghosts of Old City tour with my friends, and it was such a blast! Our guide was super engaging, sharing spooky tales about the yellow fever epidemic and ghostly duels in the area. The stories really brought Philadelphia's history to life. I’d recommend it for anyone who enjoys a mix of history and a little scare. Make sure to wear comfy shoes since we walked quite a bit! Overall, a great experience for both tourists and locals.
