5.00Great tour, some architecture, history, a little ghost stories. Danny was an excellent guide! It is quite a walk, fyi, you need to be in decent shape. It is a lot of standing, over 2 hrs long. Gave us a nice walking tour of downtown, even got to see inside the amazing William Penn Hotel!!
Not so spooky but fun

5.00This tour was great in explaining a lot of the history of the buildings and had a fun twist by adding in “ghost” stories. Our tour guide was fantastic and engaging.
So much to learn!
