Tour Details 

Are you ready to enjoy the spookiest time of the year? We’ll meet at the entrance to the Philadelphia Stock Exchange, where we’ll set off on a spine-chilling night-time sightseeing tour aboard a Halloween-decorated tourist trolleybus.

After a brief and spine-chilling welcome, we’ll set off on this Halloween tour, travelling by trolleybus through Philadelphia’s most eerie spots. Throughout the tour, which will be livened up with games, riddles and puzzles related to this time of year, we’ll be accompanied by an English-speaking guide who’ll recount the city’s most spine-tingling stories.

First, we’ll pass by the mysterious Betsy Ross House and the Christ Church Cemetery to learn about the history of some of Philadelphia’s most famous residents, who are buried in this graveyard.

Afterward, we’ll continue this trolley tour of Philadelphia past Washington Square Park, a park that harbours various tales of war and wandering spirits. We’ll also pass by the picturesque Powel House, considered one of the city’s haunted mansions.

What’s more, during the tour we’ll make two secret stops to learn about their terrifying history and uncover some mysteries that only come to light at Halloween. Sounds spine-chilling, doesn’t it?

Finally, after a journey of 1.5 hours, we'll bring this night-time trolleybus tour to a close by returning to the meeting point.
