5.00Rick was a great tour guide. He was very informative about everything. Never did a ghost tour before and after doing I'll do the orphanage next time. Loved it all. My boyfriend loved it too.
Don’t do the ghost tour, not worth it.

2.00I enjoyed visiting the house, but……..This was a nighttime ghost tour. It was kind of a joke, but then maybe it was just our tour guide. She seemed to recite a memorized script talking really fast. Seemed a little uninterested in what she was talking about. Never any lights on, except a small dimly lit LED lantern. Could really see a whole lot in the house itself.
AWESOME EXPERIANCE

5.00My wife and I went on the Jennie Wade Ghostly Encounter tour September 16th, Rachel was phenomenal !!! My wife had a small encounter with what we are presuming was " Billy ", an orphan know to hide in one of the bedrooms, she said someone touched her on the side while the guide was speaking. There was also some creaking of floor boards in a room where no one was. Another lady on the tour said something touched her hair, possibly Jennies father in the basement. Finally, I had my camera set on multiple exposures, in one of the rooms, it would only take one picture and stop. Rachel told us all about the ghosts that live in the house and mixed in a small amount of history also. It really is a tragic story and the stand in the house where it happened was actually saddening. Highly recommended !!!!!!
Great Tour and Tour Guide

5.00Had a great experience on our tour. We had a handicapped person with us and would like to give a special shout out to our guide GEORGE for his help, care and consideration he provided to us so that the person was about to tour the house with us. Thank you so much for your patience. Great history of the house and loved the personal talk at the end.
Rachel was great !

5.00Good tour. Chrissy was EXCELLENT!!! Crowd was too big for the house. Because the crowd was so big, we couldn't get the time to enjoy the rooms. Chrissy was very knowledgeable and taught me something new about Jennie Wade and the house
So much fun

5.00We went to the Jennie wade tour and the orphanage tour. Both where great and our tour guides where very amazing. Both even remembered who we where when we saw them a few days later. We book from ghostly images when ever we come here. They never disappoint
