Storytelling needs some work
Amanda_B
, May 2022
The guy was very animated and did a great job with trying to be suspenseful. My only advice would be that he tells better stories. I have been on ghost tours before & always take away some of the stories. Nothing really stood out to me. This was more about ghost and spirits then haunted tale stories which I prefer.
Funny Entertaining Informative

, May 2022
Our tour guide was so funny and knowledgeable, he kept us entertained the entire time and told us a lot of very interesting, lesser known facts about Philadelphia that you might not hear on other tours. He told ghost stories with sound effects, body movements, and inflection, and it was obvious that he was having as much fun as we were. He also made sure everyone on the tour was safe, helping us watch our step and to not stand too close to the edge of the sidewalk, and made sure everyone was able to keep up when changing locations.
We had a great guide and...

Walking Ghost Tour DOES NOT go inside buildings
Masha_C
, Apr 2022
We were expecting a ghost tour that takes you inside of old buildings. This was simply a walking tour. The terrible weather with rain and wind did not help. Our guide was very good and did an amazing job with all the issues. However, they should have definitely canceled the tour because there was thunder, rain, and wind. Many people including myself and my group left the tour and called Ubers.
Hear tour - our guide was a pro!

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
