An Exceptional Blend of History, Humor, and the Paranormal

5.00My wife and I recently took the Haunted Benefit Street Walking Tour with Ghosts of Providence on June 3, 2026, and we thought it was fabulous. The guide, Courtney, who is also the owner and founder of Providence Ghost Tours, is not only an excellent, smart, and articulate storyteller, but also brings a wonderful blend of history, humor, and a clear passion for what she does. She also weaves in her own personal experiences, which adds a unique and engaging layer to the storytelling. That combination really elevates the entire experience. Having taken several other tours—including ghost tours in other cities—this is, without question, the best and most well-done tour we’ve experienced. We would highly recommend it. We’ve also taken the original haunted tour with Courtney, and this new addition is an excellent expansion of an already outstanding portfolio. I would recommend this tour for everyone from skeptics to paranormal believers. It’s a fun and educational experience, and everyone can walk away entertained and informed about the long and storied history of Benefit Street and Providence.
Most excellent tour!!

5.00Really enjoyed Kelly’s tour. She was extremely knowledgeable and had many side stories to tell us between stops. Loved the fact that she dressed to be in the theme of the tour, as well.
